Abstract. The article is devoted to analyzing the second part of S. P. Balabin’s historical novel-dilogy "The Golden Empire". The research is based on the vast amount of mytho-poetical and theological material; special attention is paid to spiritual and religious conceptions, which formed the basis of the novel "Born from Lotus". The authors consider close interweaving of the eastern religious doctrines (Buddhism, Taoism) with the traditional Jurchen religious and mythological conceptions including conceptions of nature (shamanism, animism). It is shown that confrontation of two forces - attackers and defenders - is described within philosophical and religious discourse, the elements of mytho-poetics and expressive artistic means are interweaved into the story.
