Since the 1980s, ethnic minorities have gained much more room for self-expression and there have been many attempts to restore Manchurian ethnic culture, including establishing Manchu-language schools and reviving Manchu rituals. Many obsolete cultural attributes that are significant for legitimizing an ethnic group in China have been adapted by the group to reinforce the previously weakened Manchu identity. For instance, in 2015, Shenyang Music Conservatory established the first music program in the province-level intangible cultural heritage project and conducted fieldwork in Kuandian to observe Manchurian shamanic rituals. en Translations Manchu autonomous county Chinese: Cantonese: yue 寬甸 Mandarin: cmn 寬甸 Kuāndiàn Japanese: ja かんてん Kanten Manchu: mnc ᡴᡠᠸᠠᠨᡩᡳᠶᠠᠨ References Further reading Kuandian, Kuantien, K'uan-tien, K'uantien, Kuan-tien en 1998 Kuandian Saul B.
