Criminal law of ancient dynasties?

When peeling, cut the back skin in half with a knife, slowly separate the skin from the muscle with a knife, and tear it like a butterfly spreading its wings ... The hardest thing is the fat man, because there is still a pile of oil between the skin and the muscle, which is not easy to separate.

There is also a stripping method, I don't know how credible it is. The method is to bury people in the soil, exposing only one head, making a cross on the top of the head with a knife, pulling the scalp away and filling it with silver. Because of the heavy proportion of mercury, it will pull muscles away from the skin, and people buried in the soil will writhe painfully, but they can't break free. Finally, the body will jump out of the designated mouth, leaving only a piece of skin in the soil ... After peeling off the skin, it will be made into two drums and hung at the entrance of the yamen as a warning. The earliest skinning was after death, and later it developed to live skinning.

& lt halved >

Because the waist chop is to chop people from the middle, and the main organ is in the upper body, the prisoner will not die at once, but will be sober after the chop, and it will take a long time to die. Fang Xiaoru was killed by Emperor Cheng Zu of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that after a knife was cut off, Fang Xiaoru crawled on his elbow, his hands were covered with blood, and he even wrote the word "usurp". Died twelve and a half times.

& lt car crack >

That is, dismembering the victim is very simple, that is, putting a rope around the victim's head and limbs, pulling him in five directions with five fast horses and tearing him into six pieces. I remember Shang Yang was dismembered by five horses. It takes a lot of effort to cut off a person's head and limbs, not to mention pulling them. The pain of the prisoner can be imagined. Speaking of tearing, I'm afraid the victim won't feel pain any more. The pain is when you are pulling.

& lt all five punishments >

Beheading, gouging out eyes, chopping hands, gouging out eyes, and cutting ears into one, that is, "cutting eight pieces", is generally to cut off a person's head, hands and feet after killing him, and then cut his trunk into three sections. After the death of Emperor Gaozu, Lv Hou caught his favorite concubine, Lady Ruyi, chopped off her hands and feet, cut off her nose, ears and tongue, gouged out her eyes and fed them in a pigsty. As a result, Lv Hou's own son was scared to death. ...

& lt Lingchi >

The earliest way is to kill people and then chop them into meat paste, which is called "qi" People who were punished by this kind of punishment remembered Boycott, the eldest son of Luz and Zhou Wenwang. Later, it was developed more carefully, with the aim of making prisoners suffer the greatest pain. Therefore, not only should the prisoner be punished when he is alive, but also how many knives he has to suffer before he dies. It is said that at the end of each year, two people perform, starting with their feet, and a * * * cuts a thousand knives, that is, cuts a thousand pieces of meat, before the prisoner can die. It is said that if the prisoner dies before cutting a thousand knives, the executor will also be punished. The most famous person who developed into "the art of death penalty" was the great eunuch Liu Jin. It is said that it took him three days to die ... and the worst was Yuan Chonghuan, a famous anti-Qing star in the late Ming Dynasty. Because Emperor Chongzhen was tricked into collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, he was sentenced to death in the middle of the year. Before the execution, he covered himself with a fishing net (in order to make his muscles stand out and get stabbed) and paraded the streets, which Beijing knew nothing about.

& lt shoutout >

Hanging is a common punishment abroad. In China, the hanging is to kill people with bowstring ... that is, the bow is put around the prisoner's neck, the bowstring is forward, and the executioner starts to spin the bow at the back. The bow turned tighter and tighter, and the prisoner's anger became less and less. At last, he died ... Yue Fei and his son died in Fengfengge (because they were heroes, they couldn't be beheaded, so they had to get away with it). Wang Gui, who was exiled in the late Ming Dynasty, also died. ...

& lt cooking >

That is, "please enter the urn." It was the Tang Dynasty. When Wu Zetian was emperor, there was a cruel official named Lai Junchen in the DPRK, who advocated severe punishment and severe punishment, and often tortured prisoners who refused to confess. The solution is to find a big urn, put people in it, and then heat it with firewood below. The temperature is getting higher and higher, and the prisoners are getting more and more unbearable. If they refuse to confess, they are often burned in an urn ... Later, when Wu Zetian heard about it, she called Lai Junchen and asked him what to do if the prisoner refused to confess. Lai Junchen proudly said this method, and Wu Zetian simply said, "Then please enter the urn" and burned Lai Junchen to death. ...

& lt castration >

Sima Qian didn't write the Historical Records until he was in prison, and he also wrote the sentence "I am a boudoir minister" in the Letter to Ren. China's castration is exquisite. First, tie up the little brother with a rope (including the child's bag), let the blood not circulate and die naturally, and then cut it off with a sharp knife (all! Not just a little brother). After cutting, cover it with incense ash to stop bleeding, and put a goose feather in the urethra. In a few days, take off the goose feathers. If you can pee, castration will be successful. If you can't urinate, even if that person is useless, he is likely to die of uremia in the end. So if you want to castrate the eunuch, you'd better castrate him while he is still young, and it will be much more dangerous when he is old. This punishment is often offset by the death penalty of nobles. Relative to women, it is "claustrophobia"

& lt chisel punishment >

There are different opinions about the punishment of strangulation. Some people say that it is to cut off all below the knee, while others say that it is to cut off the kneecap. The latter is more credible. In short, strangulation is a kind of torture similar to amputation. During the Warring States Period, Sun Bin was framed by his brother and fined. I heard that his original name was Sun Bin, but he was changed to Sun Bin after being punished. If the kneecap is cut off and there is no protection between the thigh and calf, the person may not even stand up. Therefore, according to unofficial history's records, after Sun Bin was punished, he couldn't even ride a horse on the battlefield, so he had to take a bus (carriage or rickshaw).

& lt insert the needle >

Stick a needle in your fingernail. Often used for female prisoners.

& lt buried alive >

Burying alive is a common means in war. Because it's labor-saving and fast. All prisoners of war buried alive in the war were told to dig their own holes. Sometimes the prisoners are killed first and then pushed down, but when time is not enough (or bullets need to be saved), they are pushed down directly and covered in the back. Torture in China has existed since ancient times. But I haven't heard of any celebrity who has been punished like this. It's even harder to bury people upright in the soil, showing only one head, and then start abusing them. ..

& lt poison >

Poisoning may be the only humane torture ... The most famous poison in ancient China was "pigeon", from which the idiom "Drink pigeon to quench thirst" came. Often used in situations of death.

& lt club punishment >

That is, stake punishment. What I'm talking about here is stick punishment, not hitting people with sticks. The stick punishment mentioned here is to insert a stick directly into a person's mouth or anus, and the whole stick sinks into the stomach, which makes people die miserably. There is no record of this kind of punishment in the official history, but it is mentioned in Jin Yong's novel chivalrous man, and this kind of torture is dubbed "laughter"

& lt saw >

Saw a person alive with an iron saw, and its horror seems to be equivalent to year-end and peeling. No wonder there is torture of sawing people alive in hell torture. However, people who see life and death not only exist in the legendary hell, but also exist in the world. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, during the Three Kingdoms period, the concubine of Sun Hao, the emperor of the State of Wu, ordered his attendants to rob people of their property in the market. Chen Sheng, the corps commander in charge of fair trade, is a favorite of Sun Hao. He caught the robbers and brought them to justice. My concubine told Sun Hao that Sun Hao was furious, arrested Cynthia on the pretext of other incidents, sawed off Cynthia's head with a red-hot saw and threw his body under the stage.

& lt spinal fracture >

When a person hates another person, he often thinks of breaking his spine. Breaking the spine is really a Japanese behavior, because if a person's spine is broken, he will die. In the history of China, spinal fracture is also a very important torture. According to the story. There are clear rewards and punishments. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Ji Chonger planned to make the criminal law explicit so that all the people in China would abide by the law, so he consulted with the doctors. Dian Jie, the famous minister of Ji Chonger, arrived late. Some people think that Dianjie is guilty and should be punished. Therefore, Ji Chonger approved the execution of the broken vertebra. The scholar-officials in the state of Jin were very afraid. They said: "Chu Jian went into exile with Ji Chonger in other countries 19 years, and made great contributions. Now we are punished so severely occasionally, not to mention us. "From then on, everyone was afraid of punishment and obeyed the law.

& lt lead injection >

In the Buddhist story about Yamaraja, Yamaraja said that Bai Xiang was the Lord of hell, and there were orders from hundreds of officials and beautiful women around him. In the dark period, that is, two hours a day, I was subjected to copper enema. Similarly, human beings are tortured by pouring tin or lead. The melting point of tin is 232 degrees Celsius and that of lead is 327.4 degrees Celsius. Whether tin or lead is poured, people can be burned to death. Moreover, molten tin or lead will solidify into lumps as soon as it enters the stomach, and the falling force of this heavy metal can also cause death. Yangcheng, the queen of Liu Qu, the king of Changchuan in Han Dynasty, was jealous and overbearing. Liu Qu dotes on another Maggie named Rong Ai and drinks with her many times. She was so jealous that she said to Liu Qu, "Rong Ai looks at people a little abnormal, probably because she is having an affair with someone." Liu Quxin believed it. Seeing Rong Ai embroidering the pattern on the collar, she grabbed the clothes in a rage and threw them into the fire to burn. Rong Ai was very scared to see Liu Qu angry. She threw herself into the well. Liu Qu ordered someone to fish her out, but unfortunately she didn't die. Liu Qu's staff blamed Rong Ai, who confessed the relationship. Rong Ai was punished, but she just said that she was having an affair with the doctor. Liu Qu became more and more angry, so she tied Rong Ai to a post, gouged out her eyes with a red-hot sharp knife, cut off the meat on her thighs, and finally poured molten lead into her mouth, thus destroying Rong Ai.

& lt grooming >

The grooming mentioned here is not a woman's grooming, but an extremely cruel punishment. It refers to scraping off a person's meat with an iron brush until the meat is gone and finally he dies. The real inventor of the punishment of grooming is Zhu Yuanzhang. According to Shen Wen's "Politics of the Sages", when the punishment of persuasion was carried out, the executioner stripped the prisoner naked, put him naked on the iron bed, poured boiling water on him several times, and then brushed off his flesh with an iron brush. It's like folk killing pigs after scalding with boiling water until the skin is brushed and the bones are exposed, and the punished person dies before it's over. The punishment of modification has the same effect as the punishment of 2008. According to "Biography of Huan in the Old Tang Dynasty", Wu Sansi once sent Zhou Lizhen to catch Huan, dragged him around on a bamboo raft, and then killed him with a stick.
