Abstract

Currently, “Nishan Shaman” is one of the few music video games based on ethnic minority folklore in China. The game is based on the Manchu shaman legend Nishan Shaman and put Nishan in the underworld looking for the soul of a child as the main line of the story. The Manchu legend and Manchu culture are integrated into the narrative process of the game so as to make the game space full of Manchu shaman culture. This “packaging” of the traditional culture of ethnic minorities in modern video games provides the possibility for ethnic minority culture to enter into the younger generation and the general public, and it is a new way for ethnic minority traditional culture to spread in the new era.
