Was a baby beheaded in ancient times? What was the real situation when the beheaded prisoners were e

If it involves a felony of exterminating the family, whether it is the extermination of the three clans or the nine clans, it is all over the house, regardless of the old and the young, and they will all be killed. Young and old are not immune.

Speaking of costume dramas, we will inevitably see such a scene, when the prisoner is sentenced to death, he will be beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon. But you know what? In fact, the beheading in the TV series is simply fake, the process of beheading in ancient times is not like that at all, and the real situation is very different from what is presented in the TV series.

So, what does a real beheading look like in history?

The history of beheading is very long, in the Xia Dynasty, a decree on punishment was issued, and in the Yin Shang period, beheading was published in the "Shangshu? Lü Xing" became the earliest five punishments along with facial tattooing, foot severance, nose cutting, and palace punishment. And the reason why beheading is so popular lies in its tragic state and deterrent power.

At that time, in order to become stronger, the Qin State promulgated a kind of exchange for the title of the enemy's head.

In ancient times, beheadings were mostly chosen in places with more people, and the reason was also to let people see the fate of criminals, so as to achieve the effect of deterring crimes. In ancient times, before the beheading, there would be a meal of beheading, which was true, and it was generally a very hearty meal. It was only later that the government simplified the money for the beheading rice, because the prisoners who were about to be sentenced could not eat at all, so that later it was a bowl of rice, a piece of meat and a bowl of wine.

The prisoner who was about to face death could not even swallow this last bite of food. When serving this bowl of rice, you need to stick chopsticks in front of the meal, just like rice for the dead. The name of the person is incense, which means that the prisoner has eaten this bowl of rice before he died, so if the child puts the chopsticks up when eating, he will definitely be beaten by the adult, because such a meal is prepared for the dying person.

And that piece of meat is also particular, they will generally roast people and let the prisoners smell them, so that they can be regarded as eating.

The food could not be eaten, but the prisoners generally drank alcohol, and drank a lot of alcohol, and the reason was naturally that it would reduce the pain when cutting off the head. Secondly, when escorting the condemned prisoners out, they are also particular, not just walking through the door as described in the TV series. Yamen was called six doors in ancient times, there are indeed six doors, two gates are generally opened for the superiors, the left is the Qinglong Gate, and the right is the White Tiger Gate.

Qinglongmen is a place where officials usually walk, and Baihumen is the last road that death row prisoners have walked, and it is not easy to open it in ordinary times. Finally, it's time for execution, in TV dramas, it is generally used to swing a large ghost head knife to the prisoner's neck, but in fact, this is not the case at all. The truth is that this knife is not big at all, and it is usually about the length of a person's arm.

When the execution is carried out, it is not to cut down hard, but a very strange way of execution, that is, to put the back of the knife against his forearm, hold the knife in his backhand, and then stabilize the prisoner's neck, feel the crack of the bone, and then complete the action of a wave, and the entire execution is completed.

Generally, only those who commit the most heinous crimes, or those who commit treason, will be sentenced to Ling Chi, but there is no punishment of Ling Chi in the Qing Law, and the internal capital punishment is to be cut and decided, and Ling Chi Rong was added later, and generally only the supreme ruler can issue this order, and there is a kind of private anger in it. When a person or group of people commits a crime that does not lead to beheading, and cannot be imprisoned, they are generally sentenced to exile.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, as long as someone deliberately harmed children, they would definitely be subjected to Ling Chi, Zhu Di hated these child abusers very much, once they were caught in the nine clans, in the Qing Dynasty, the punishment of those who committed "harvesting and cutting" was even clearer, because it was directly written on the law, anyone who committed this crime, the criminal must be executed by Ling Chi, and all the family property was confiscated to compensate the victim, and the criminal's wife and parents were all exiled two thousand miles away.

Regarding exile, it was not invented in the Qing Dynasty, there was exile a long time ago, for example, Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty was exiled to Huizhou, Guangdong, and Lin Chong (the character in **) was exiled to Cangzhou, "Water Margin" is the Ming Dynasty**, which also shows that there was such a thing as exile before the Ming Dynasty. Even in the West, there is such a punishment as exile, such as the famous Napoleon. Exile is generally to be exiled to more remote, poor environment, at the beginning of many places in the south were not developed, prisoners are often exiled there, to the Qing Dynasty, the south is more developed, so the place of exile has also changed.

In ancient times, criminals would be beheaded, and there were many crimes that would be punished if they were convicted, the most important being rebellion, bullying or other heinous crimes, and criminals who aroused public anger would be beheaded.

Generally, those who will be sentenced to the crime of beheading include the crime of bullying the king, the crime of causing a major impact on society, the crime of endangering the interests of the state, and carrying a knife to the court, etc., but it depends on the comprehensive performance of the monarch and the person who committed the crime.

The ancient criminal law was also very cruel, and if you talk about beheading, I think it depends on the system. Acts that seriously endanger the lives of the people and plot rebellion should be punished by death and beheaded.

In ancient times, ancient people were beheaded for crimes, but in fact, there were quite a few sins. Just like the most common drama we watch in TV dramas, angering the emperor and people related to the Huangda family will be easily dragged down and beheaded. In ancient times, there was a clear hierarchy between people.

The lives of ordinary people are like mustard. There is also the crime of treason, and there is the crime of homicide, as now, and so on.

The ancient moral standards were loyalty and filial piety, and of course, there were also statements such as one life for one life, such as killing the monarch and rebelling, which would definitely behead the head, and even the nine clans, and even killing parents, elders, and so on.

Generally speaking, if the ancients committed something absolutely unethical, or something that harmed the interests of the ruler, they would be directly beheaded.

The crime of bullying the king, murder and treason, but it is also related to the times, look at the monarch at that time, if you are more virtuous, only a very serious crime will kill the head, if you faint the king, then the beheading is a matter of minutes.

The specific crime is not so standard, you just need to know that if you make the emperor particularly angry, it is enough to be beheaded, and there is also the crime of rebellion, which must be beheaded.

In the last years of the Warring States period, when Lü Buwei's family was executed, the children were suffocated in cloth bags, or thrown directly into the sand pit and buried.

In ancient times, there were also laws, and it was not necessary to cut off heads indiscriminately.

I'm playing people, I can't read books, it's just that I lose the competition and make money by losing the competition.

This, let's take an analogy, a murder case, or a deception of the king, this is also too many killings, so I won't talk about them one by one.

Breaking the law or angering the Emperor,

Those who break the law are generally beheaded, such as murder and arson, rebellion, flower thieves, and so on.

1. The "frontiers" referred to by the punishment of all the distribution of frontiers are all places where the geography has not been developed, the climate is harsh, and the material conditions are extremely poor, if they are really assigned to these places, not only will they have to walk a long way, but they will also have to work non-stop when they get to the place, and they may not die one day.

It should be very painful, because the moment it is chopped off, the brain itself and other nerve cells still have nutrients and so on.

The first stage is generally nitrated, smeared with salt or lime to remove water, and made into a cured meat head, which can be stored for a long time.

Ever heard of cured meats? In fact, in ancient times, lime should have been used, and this thing can guarantee that it will not rot for several months.

I wrap my head with lime powder and put it away. The human head that has been treated in this way will be deformed to a certain extent, but basically you can still see who it is.

There is no need to consider preserving it if it is shown to the public, because the public is to cut it off and show it to the public immediately, and let it rot.

The main thing is the use of lime. The Mongols liked to have silver on their heads.

Hanging on the wall of the cell, in a row, it's terrifying.

It is recorded that a chemist and biologist said to his executioner before being beheaded, please count how many times I smashed my eyes after my head fell, and the result was 11 times, that is, no more than 13 seconds, and the scientist was called Anto Laurent Lavoisier*, a brave man.

It is definitely impossible to speak. Whether to die or to die again and again is entirely up to the executioner. Therefore, when the execution is carried out, the family will give gifts.

Sharpen the knife quickly, find the right position and go down. They all fell off and died. The knife is not fast, and if the cutting position is not good, cut a few more times.

Life is better than death.
