Manchu dishes are mainly meat. Manchu people avoid killing dogs, eating dog meat and using dog skin, and do not wear dog skin hats. Because Manchu people have been engaged in fierce hunting activities for a long time, dogs are indispensable "assistants". They also use dogs to pull sleds in winter, which has become an important tool, so they should not eat dog meat.

Manchu people don't eat the meat of crows, but cherish crows instead of cajoling them. In Manchu inhabited areas, there is a tall wooden pole at home, which is used to feed crows and magpies with pork, pig water and rice.
