I have tried to do partition with inheritance and rules. First, I created master table and many child table, and also the rules for insert, delete and update. Then I do some select, insert, delete and update operations on the master to test if it works. However, the insert an delete work very well, but the update operation seems never return. I tried several times, and could wait it to return and killed the process.

I tried the commands manually, and it seemed very weird.
The delete command:
DELETE FROM master_table WHERE id='9999' AND data_type='aaa'
and select command with the same condition expression:
SELECT * FROM master_table WHERE id='9999' AND data_type='aaa'
both return without delay.
But the update command with the same condition expression:
UPDATE master_table set data_value='somevalue' WHERE id='9999' AND data_type='aaa'
didn't return in 5 minutes.

Every table has index and constraint on column "id". I have already set constraint_exclusion=true.

Why the update command runs so slow ?

You'll need to post some of your tables' schemas along with the results of running your queries through EXPLAIN or EXPLAIN ANALYZE (better) in order for anyone to answer that.
