Which dynasty in history had the most cruel punishment?
Personally, I think it is the Shang Dynasty in the slave society and the Qin Dynasty in the transitional stage.

Take the torture in the Qin Dynasty as an example. There are many kinds of punishments in Qin dynasty, which can be divided into twelve kinds: death penalty, corporal punishment, imprisonment, answering punishment, resisting punishment, punishment, redemption, abolition, quenching, confiscation and waiting. In the same kind of punishment, according to the execution method, the amount of whipping and the length of sentence for the mutilated parts of the limbs. The distance of migration and the severity of goods punishment are divided into different grades. For example, the death penalty includes slaughter, corpse slaughter, bazaar hunting, vegetable hunting, clan hunting, Yi hunting, car chopping, waist cutting, dismemberment, purse flapping, laparotomy, tribulus terrestris, chisel, threat, wok frying, and corporal punishment includes smashing, smashing and cutting.

It is often a misdemeanor and a heavy penalty! These are worse than the torture in the Ming Dynasty!
