Manchu cloth pillows are made of cloth and are rectangular hexahedron, so they are called square pillows. However, there are many differences in the length, width and height of square pillows, including unilateral pillows, bilateral pillows, flat pillows, ear pillows, empty pillows and opposite pillows. The pillow is filled with plant stuffing, and the pillow should be placed at the end, which is both warm and soft. These fillers are leaves, flowers or fruits of wild plants, which are economical and have medicinal effects. Such as buckwheat husk, tin foil, chrysanthemum, cattail stick, etc.

In order to decorate this cloth pillow, Leonardo should embroider it on two plugs, which is colored pillow embroidery. Pillow embroidery originated from the influence of China culture. However, due to the unique marriage customs of Manchu, the pillow embroidery of Manchu has a wide variety, exquisite embroidery and rich content, which is not inferior to similar embroidery of Han nationality in China. Patty's characteristics, such as bag embroidery and cloth embroidery, are more dominant. At that time, girls from Manchu families had to embroider from primary school, and embroidered dowry by hand, including embroidered shoes, flowered clothes, veils, quilts, and embroidered pillows were the most important. Neighbors and sisters often embroider together, learn from each other, and often hum folk songs while embroidering: small needles, wrapped in green hemp, what is hidden in green hemp? Green hemp is white, green hemp is new, and there are green hemp with flower arranging needles in it.

Before getting married, girls should embroider dozens, dozens or even hundreds of pairs of pillowcases and put them on the tarpaulin, which is called "pillow curtain". The upper end is placed on a wooden pole and carried by two people, together with other dowries, from the bride's family to her husband's family. Drum music is actually made, and it is called "hanging dowry" around the village to attract people to watch colorful pillows along the street.

These dowries are sent to the man's house and placed in the new house one by one, especially the pillow curtain, which should be hung in the most conspicuous place. On the right day, the bridal chamber (Hailong County Records) became a personal folk art exhibition. After the wedding, Kangqin was neatly covered, red, green and green, with four pillows piled on both sides, facing outward, colorful and full of brightness. Sister-in-law and aunt should hold each other's pillow embroidery, learn from each other's embroidery skills, be friendly to their loved ones and send each other souvenirs. The rest of the pillow embroidery is treasured for life, and it can be seen that it plays an important role in a woman's life.

Due to the unique wedding customs of Manchu, the art of pillow top embroidery has emerged, and its themes include: landscapes, flowers and birds, insects, animals, figures, characters and so on. Its formal categories include satin embroidery, cloth embroidery, small embroidery, yarn weaving, cutting embroidery, cross embroidery, package embroidery, makeup embroidery and so on. Its needling methods include flat needle, inverted needle, long needle, lock needle and so on.

Among them, some pillow top embroidery works show totem worship or shaman sacrifice scenes advocated by shamanism, which has a strong shaman cultural atmosphere.
