According to records, since the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, there have been particularly severe punishments for female prisoners, which are called "five punishments" in history, as follows:

1. Punishment: a punishment applicable to women's crimes in ancient times. After being subjected to corporal punishment such as flogging, he was escorted to the official government or border military camps to serve hard labor such as drying grain and rubbing rice.

2. flogging: a kind of torture applied to female prisoners in ancient times. Slapping is the punishment of pinching the prisoner's fingers, so it is also called flogging. During the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the government once tortured female prisoners to extract confessions.

3. Whipping: one of the five punishments since Sui and Tang Dynasties. Song, Ming and Qing dynasties stipulated that women must "strip off and receive a stick" when committing rape, which not only caused physical pain, but also achieved the effect of humiliation.

4. Giving death: In ancient times, criminals with special status were poisoned with wine, swords, silks, ropes and other things and killed by themselves. Women give mostly silks and satins, which have been used for generations.

5. claustrophobia: castration of female prisoners began in Qin and Han dynasties. That is, hitting a woman's abdomen with a mallet artificially causes uterine prolapse, which is a kind of torture for adulterers.
