Title: On the Pedigree of Na Clan and Sacred Book in Manchu Language
Abstract: It has been a long time since the Pedigree of Na Clan which was written in Manchu language came into being.In this version,official position and social status are included in the names of people recorded,which corrects the misunderstanding that yehenala clan only comes from one branch of Xinggendaerhan.The sacred book,which is appended to the Pedigree of Na Clan,reflects the situation when offering sacrifices to gods,and offers precious informations to the study of Manchu Shamanism.The Manchu pedigree possesses a higher value when compared to the Chinese one.It is helpful to study the formation and origin of Yehena Clan.
