In the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there was a cruel punishment for women to light lanterns. What kind of punishment is it?
During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there was a kind of punishment called Diantian Lantern, which was specially used by women. Is to strip the prisoner naked, wrap him in linen, and then soak him in oil. At night, he lit up the man like a candle.

Dong Zhuo was the first person to be lit by lanterns.

Maybe everyone doesn't know that lanterns appeared in the Three Kingdoms period. The person who lit the sky lantern was Dong Zhuo, a famous soldier who was killed by Wang Yun at that time, and was also lit after his death.

But later, because the punishment of lighting the sky lantern was too cruel and bloody, it was never used, but I didn't expect this horrible punishment to be used on an unarmed woman during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a woman named Zhu Jiumei lit a lantern.

This Zhu Jiumei is very young and beautiful, but his youth and beauty were very dangerous during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Because women with a little beauty at that time would be divided up by several kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Because this Zhu Jiumei is young and lovable, there is a hundred-year-old woman who secretly sheltered Zhu Jiumei several times when the king chose his wife. But I didn't expect Zhu Jiumei's reputation to spread far and wide and be remembered by Yang forever. In the end, she didn't escape from the clutches and was found.

Yang Xiuqing killed the woman who sheltered Zhu Jiumei, and at the same time forcibly brought Zhu Jiumei into the house. Zhu Jiumei hates Yang Xiuqing for trying to assassinate him. I didn't expect Yang to find out Zhu Jiumei's plan. After the story was revealed, Zhu Jiumei was lit with lanterns.

I have to say that during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the status of women was very low. A woman with a little beauty will be forced into her house by various kings and become her own wife and concubine. And these kings don't treat women like people at all.
