In the year, it is a double blow to the body and mind. The year of the year is a physical and psychological blow to the prisoner. Generally speaking, prisoners sentenced to death will die before the end of Ling Chi's punishment. Because the whole process is slow and painful, prisoners are under physical and psychological pressure and often die before it is over, so such punishment is very cruel.
I don't know the degree of pain in the execution of Ling Chi, but I think the execution of Ling Chi is more painful than any punishment, because this kind of punishment will not make you die immediately or suffocate you. It just makes you feel pain, paralyzes your nerves, slowly kills you and slowly drains your blood. Moreover, if this punishment is fully implemented, it will last for three days or even longer, so this punishment is very cruel to prisoners. Not many people in history have experienced such punishment, so such punishment has been given to some of the most guilty people.
Comparing the torture in 2007 with other cruel criminal laws in the ancient history of China, such as car-splitting, is to tie the prisoner's head, hands and feet with five carriages, and whip the horse to gallop, so as to break the prisoner's head, hands and feet together and achieve the effect of executing the prisoner. Although this punishment seems cruel, if the horse gallops fast enough, the prisoner can be executed immediately, at least not as it was then. Chop people one by one and torture them to death.
There is also a punishment called cutting off the waist, which is more cruel than beheading, because when a person's head is cut off, he will die immediately, and if he is cut off from above, he will not die immediately, and his death will be ugly. Therefore, cutting the waist is also a great torture, but cutting the waist is still a drop in the bucket for Ling Chi, because within a few hours, future generations will bleed to death. But it will last at least three days, and it won't make you die so easily. Its purpose is to torture prisoners to death.
