What were some of the most beautiful but cruel criminal laws in ancient China?

The name Fenghuang Sunning Wings was also very beautiful when I heard it at first, and this punishment came from the hands of Zhou Xing, a cool official under Wu Zetian. At the time of punishment, only need to make a thick cross rafter, the victim's arms are fixed on the horizontal log, but the feet are firmly locked on the ground with iron cables, and then the rafters are rotated, the upper body of the prisoner rotates with the rafters, but the legs can not move, and the final result is that the lumbar vertebrae are twisted alive.

Lighting the sky lantern usually we light the Kong Ming lantern to fly, and then make a wish, how beautiful. Lighting a sky lantern is not so beautiful, and it is also a form of torture. During the execution, the prisoner was soaked in oil, and then the prisoner was tied to a very high pillar and set the prisoner on fire.

Because they were covered in oil, the prisoners would quickly ignite a raging fire. A fire was burning in mid-air to light a sky lantern.

As the name suggests, the waist is cut in the middle of the human body, where the waist is cut. Because the main organ of a person is in the upper body, the person who is executed will not die all at once, and will be conscious after the beheading, and after a period of time, it will usually be due to pain or excessive bleeding before he will lose his breath, which is the most terrible!

I remember there was a name called Haw Par Xichun. At first glance, I thought the name was a beautiful picture. Actually, no, it is torture, which is mostly inflicted on female prisoners, but it can also be used on men.

At the time of execution, the prisoner's clothes were first taken out, and then the annoying person was put into a sack and his head exposed. Throw cats (tigers) and mice (leopards) into sacks and beat gongs and drums vigorously. Frightened cats and mice will scratch and bite the prisoner's body.

The executioner would be on the sidelines to admire the painful expressions of the torturers.

There is a kind of torture called fairy monkey offering peaches, the name still sounds very good, but it is too cruel, this punishment only requires the prisoner to be stripped of his clothes, put on a large shackle, and make him kneel on the iron chain or broken tile sharp stone, under the scorching sun or cold wind, the prisoner kneels on it with shackles on his shoulders, and his knees fester.

I was deeply impressed by the ancient Wu Sun Hao's love for Caiyan and the dance of this punishment. A large copper or iron plate was simply placed on the fire, and the two sides were secured with iron nets so that the victim could not escape. The tortured (mostly women) were then stripped of their bare strips, hung with brass bells and satin on their ankles, wrists, and chests, and then driven to iron plates.

Under the iron plate, the flame burns, the iron plate is heated and burned red, and the people on the iron plate can only jump around, and the colorful satin on the body is flying, and the sound of the copper bell echoing each other.

A red that often appears in court dramas. The Qing Dynasty harem was invented, specially used to deal with the women who committed crimes in the palace, did not know the number of etiquette, the specific method was to strip the wrong woman of her clothes, take a two-inch thick five-foot-long plank, and hit the waist below, until the muscles and bones were broken, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the bright red was seen from a distance, which was called a zhang red, and the tortured person was not as good as death, if not treated in time, it was difficult to escape a death.

This kind of punishment began in the five generations of troubled times. Song Renzong began to use it, mainly to execute those who were serious criminals, as a sign of retribution and punishment. Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing all had such statutory punishments.

The execution method is very cruel, first cutting the flesh from the non-vital parts, until the prisoner slowly dies, which is called a thousand knives by the people.

Playing the pipa, watching the beauty play the pipa is a kind of enjoyment, and the slender jade fingers pluck the strings, which is beautiful. However, Zhu Yuanzhang's invention of torture playing the pipa is not like this at all. At the time of execution, the prisoner's clothing was first removed, and then a sharp knife was used to pull the prisoner's ribs up and down, until the flesh was completely removed, revealing the ribs.

During the entire execution process, the prisoners endured unimaginable suffering.

The abandonment of the city was killed with a knife blade in the Qin and Han dynasties, and was hanged after the Wei and Jin dynasties, but the location was in the downtown area with many people, and the corpse was violent for three days, in order to indicate that it was abandoned by everyone, which was a death penalty with shameful characteristics.

Ancient times are all in the past. We just have to do our own thing.

For example, pinching fingers, tiger chairs, pouring chili water and sprinkling salt, you can refer to the 18 tortures of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
