Changbai Mountain Manchu Pillow Embroidery and Paper Cutting -- National Intangible Cultural Heritages

Changbai Mountain Manchu pillow embroidery and paper cutting have been certified as national intangible cultural heritages in 2008 by the State Council. Manchu pillow embroidery, made sixty to seventy years ago, is diverse in category, exquisite in craftsmanship and glorious in color, fully reflecting the idea, belief and preference of Shamanism. As a rare, fine art form of Shamanism, the embroidery is of high aesthetic value.
