What heinous crimes did the ancients mean by heinous crimes?

We often say that bad people are heinous, but I also believe that some people, such as Bian Xiao, don't know what heinous crimes are. Next, Bian Xiao will popularize the meaning of this heinous crime.

"Ten" in the context means the most, the most complete and the most full. A heinous crime is full of evil. "heinous" is often used to describe people who commit heinous crimes and are unforgivable.

The top ten crimes refer to the top ten unforgivable crimes, namely: rebellion, treason, treason, immorality, disrespect, unfilial, discord, injustice and civil strife.

There are ten evils in the ancient feudal criminal law system of China, which developed on the basis of the crime of "disrespect and disrespect" in the Western Han Dynasty.

If you think it's "eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, cheating and stealing", it's all wet.

In our modern Chinese, the "ten evils" in the idiom "ten evils are unforgivable" is not a real reference, but generally refers to a major crime. However, in the ancient criminal laws and regulations of China, the "ten evils" actually refer to something. So what do these ten evils mean?

Rebellion refers to an attempt to overthrow the contemporary rulers and become an emperor himself. Since ancient times, countless people have succeeded in overthrowing the government and becoming emperors, so rebellion has always been regarded as the top ten evils by rulers.
