神汉 refers to a male folk healer or shaman in traditional Chinese culture, often a man who claims to communicate with spirits or gods to cure illness, tell fortunes, or perform exorcisms. It's a culturally specific term with no exact English equivalent — 'sorcerer' or 'shaman' are approximations but carry different connotations. The word is sometimes used neutrally in rural contexts and sometimes pejoratively in modern urban discourse.
