内容摘要： 在满族民间既有与家谱续修相关的祖先祭拜习俗，也有与家族神灵相关的“祖爷”祭祀活动。由于两种祖先信仰系统的共存，长期以来，造成了人们对于满族祖先信仰的一些误解。本文通过对这两种信仰的面貌、异同、相互关系的揭示，以及对“祖爷”族群身份的剖析，提出理解满族祖先信仰的路径和方法。

Abstract: Among Manchu people, there are both the ancestor worship practices related to the continuation of genealogies, and sacrificial activities associated with the family deity ＂Ancestral Lord＂. For a long time the coexistence of two ancestral belief systems, has caused misunderstandings of Manchu ancestral belief. Based on the nature, similarities and differences, mutual relations of both beliefs, as well as the analysis of the ethnic identity of ＂Ancestral Lord＂, this paper comes up with the path and way of understanding Manchu ancestral belief.
