xclip version 0.13 wm: i3 os: manjaro 20 shell: fish

Here is the thing.

I run command uptime | xclip in the terminal. The situation is:

I can paste the content just in the current terminal with shift+insert
I cant paste the content with ctrl + v, but if I copied something by ctrl + c I can use ctrl + v to paste them.
If you switch to other window, neither shift+insert nor ctrl + v will work.
I use copyq which is a clipboard manager. Which cant see the content copied by xclip command.

How to solve these problems?

This is probably relevant to the terminal emulator you're using (which you didn't mention).

Sorry for the comment above, it's misguiding.
You are using the PRIMARY clipboard, not the CLIPBOARD which is usually referred to by the keys you mentioned. To select the latter, add -sel clipboard as by the manpage.
