When peeling, cut the back skin in half with a knife, slowly separate the skin from the muscle with a knife, and tear it like a butterfly spreading its wings ... The hardest thing is the fat man, because there is still a pile of oil between the skin and the muscle, which is not easy to separate. There is also a stripping method, I don't know how credible it is. The method is to bury people in the soil, exposing only one head, making a cross on the top of the head with a knife, pulling the scalp away and filling it with silver. Because of the large proportion of mercury, muscles and skin will be torn apart, and people buried in the soil will writhe painfully, but they can't break free. Finally, the body will jump out of the designated mouth, leaving only a layer of skin in the soil ... After peeling off the skin, it will be made into two drums and hung at the entrance of the yamen as a warning. The earliest skinning was after death, and later it developed to live skinning. Waist chop because waist chop cuts people from the middle, and the main organs are in the upper body. The prisoner will not die at once, but will be sober after cutting, and it will take a long time to die.
Ming Chengzu cut his waist and killed Fang Xiaoru. It is said that after a knife was cut off, Fang Xiaoru crawled on his elbow and even wrote the word "usurp" with his blood-stained hands. He wrote twelve and a half times before he died, that is, five horses were dismembered. Quite simply, he put a rope around the prisoner's head and limbs, and five fast horses pulled him in five directions and tore him into six pieces. I remember Shang Yang was dismembered by five horses. It takes a lot of effort to cut off a person's head and limbs, not to mention pulling them. The pain of the prisoner can be imagined. Speaking of tearing, I'm afraid the victim won't feel pain any more. The pain is when you are pulling. The five punishments are all beheading, gouging out eyes, cutting hands, gouging out eyes and cutting ears, that is, "cutting eight pieces." Usually, after killing someone, chop off the head, hands and feet, and then chop the trunk into three parts. After the death of Emperor Gaozu, Lv Hou caught his concubine, Lady Ruyi, chopped off her hands and feet, cut off her nose, ears and tongue, gouged out her eyes, and fed them in a pigsty. As a result, Lv Hou's own son was scared to death.
Ling Chi kills people first, and then cuts them into meat paste, which is called "Ling". Those who were punished remembered Luz and Bojko, the eldest son of King Zhou Wen. Later, it was developed more carefully, with the aim of making prisoners suffer the greatest pain. Therefore, not only should the prisoner be punished when he is alive, but also how many knives he has to suffer before he dies. It is said that at the end of each year, two people perform, starting from their feet, and a total of 1000 knives are cut, that is, 1000 pieces of meat are cut, before prisoners are allowed to die. It is said that if the prisoner dies before cutting a thousand knives, the executor will also be punished.
The most famous person who developed into "the art of death penalty" was the great eunuch Liu Jin. It is said that he died for three days, and the worst was Yuan Chonghuan, a famous anti-Qing star in the late Ming Dynasty. Because Emperor Chongzhen was tricked into collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, he was sentenced to death in the middle of the year. Before the execution, he covered himself with a fishing net (in order to make his muscles stand out and get stabbed), paraded through the streets and was driven forward by ignorant people in Beijing. This is one of the official punishments in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Hanging is a common punishment abroad. In China, people hang themselves with bowstring, that is, they put the bow around the victim's neck, with the bowstring facing forward and the executioner turning the bow behind. The tighter the bow was pulled, the less angry the victim became and finally died.
That's how Yue Fei and his son died in the Fengbo Pavilion (because he was a hero and couldn't be beheaded, so he kept his whole body), and so was Wang Gui, who died in the late Ming Dynasty. He was hanged by Wu Sangui himself. Cooking means "please go to the urn". It was in the Tang Dynasty, when Wu Zetian was emperor, there was a cruel official named Lai Junchen, who advocated severe punishment and often tortured prisoners who refused to confess. The solution is to find a big urn, put people in it, and then heat it with firewood below. The temperature is getting higher and higher, and the prisoners are getting more and more unbearable. If they refuse to confess, they are often burned in an urn ... Later, when Wu Zetian heard about it, she called Lai Junchen and asked him what to do if the prisoner refused to confess. Lai Junchen proudly said this method, and Wu Zetian simply said "please go to the urn" and burned Lai Junchen to death.
Castration Sima Qian wrote the historical records only after being castrated, and also wrote the sentence "I am a boudoir minister" in "Bao Ren". China's castration is exquisite. First, tie up the little brother with a rope (including the child's bag) to stop his bleeding and die naturally, and then cut him off with a sharp knife (all! Not just a little brother). After cutting, cover it with incense ash to stop bleeding, and put a goose feather in the urethra. In a few days, take off the goose feathers. If you can urinate, castration will be successful. If you can't urinate, even if that person is useless, he is likely to die of uremia in the end. So if you want to castrate the eunuch, you'd better castrate him while he is still young, and it will be much more dangerous when he is old.
This kind of punishment is often offset by the death penalty of nobles, while on the contrary, women have claustrophobia. Some people say that it is to cut off all below the knee, while others say that it is to cut off the kneecap. The latter is more credible. In short, strangulation is a kind of torture similar to amputation.
During the Warring States Period, Sun Bin was framed by his brother and fined. I heard that his original name was Sun Bin, but he was changed to Sun Bin after being punished. If the kneecap is cut off and there is no protection between the thigh and calf, the person may not even stand up. Therefore, according to unofficial history's records, after Sun Bin was punished, he couldn't even ride a horse on the battlefield, so he had to take a bus (carriage or rickshaw).
Insert the needle between the nails. It is often used to bury female prisoners alive, which is a common means in war. Because it's labor-saving and fast. All prisoners of war buried alive in the war were told to dig their own holes. Sometimes the prisoners are killed first and then pushed down, but when time is not enough (or bullets need to be saved), they are pushed down directly and covered in the back. Torture in China has existed since ancient times. But I haven't heard of any celebrity who has been punished like this. A little harder, people will be buried straight in the soil, only one head will be exposed, and then they will start to abuse ... poison may be the only more humane way of torture.
Among the ancient poisons in China, the most famous poison should be "pigeon", from which the idiom "Drink pigeon to quench thirst" comes. The stick punishment usually used for execution is wooden stake punishment. The stick punishment here is not beating people with a stick. The stick punishment mentioned here is to take a stick and insert it directly into a person's mouth or anal door. The whole stick sank into the stomach, which made people die miserably. There is no record of this kind of punishment in the official history, but it is mentioned in Jin Yong's novel "Chivalrous Man", and he nicknamed this kind of torture "Laughter".
Sawing people alive with an iron saw seems to be as scary as year-end and skinning. No wonder in the torture of hell, there is the torture of sawing people alive.
However, people who see life and death not only exist in the legendary hell, but also exist in the world. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, during the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Hao, the love princess of Emperor Wu Sun Hao, instructed his attendants to rob people of their property in the market. Chen Sheng, the corps commander in charge of fair trade, is a favorite of Sun Hao. He caught the robbers and brought them to justice. My concubine told Sun Hao that Sun Hao was furious, arrested Cynthia on the pretext of other incidents, sawed off Cynthia's head with a red-hot saw and threw his body under the stage.
Broken spine When a person hates another person, he often thinks of breaking his spine. Breaking the spine is really a Japanese behavior, because if a person's spine is broken, he will die.
In the history of China, spinal fracture is also a very important torture. According to the book "Shang Jun Rewarding Punishment", during the Spring and Autumn Period, Ji Chonger planned to formulate the criminal law of the Ming Dynasty so that all people in China would abide by the law, so he consulted with doctors. Dian Jie, the famous minister of Ji Chonger, arrived late. Some people think that Dianjie is guilty and should be punished. Therefore, Ji Chonger approved the death of a broken vertebra. Scholar-officials in the state of Jin are not afraid of it. They said that Dian Jie had been in exile with Ji Chonger for 19 years and made great contributions. Now we are punished so severely occasionally, not to mention us. From then on, everyone was afraid of punishment and obeyed the law. In the story of Buddhist Yamaraja, there is a saying that Yamaraja is either black or white. Bai Xiang is the Lord of hell, ordered by hundreds of officials, surrounded by beautiful women; In the dark period, that is, two hours a day, I was subjected to copper enema. Similarly, human beings are tortured by pouring tin or lead. The melting point of tin is 232 degrees Celsius and that of lead is 327.4 degrees Celsius. Whether tin or lead is poured, people can be burned to death. Moreover, molten tin or lead will solidify into lumps as soon as it enters the stomach, and this heavy metal falling force can also kill people. Yangcheng, the queen of Liu Qu, the king of Changchuan in Han Dynasty, was jealous and overbearing. Liu Qu dotes on another Maggie named Rong Ai and drinks with her many times. She was so jealous that she told Liu Qu that Rong Ai's eyes were abnormal, probably because she was having an affair with someone. "Liu Quxin. Seeing Rong Ai embroidering the pattern on the collar, she grabbed the clothes in a rage and threw them into the fire to burn. Rong Ai saw that Liu Qu was angry, but he was not afraid. He committed suicide by jumping into the well. Liu Qu ordered someone to fish her out, but unfortunately she didn't die. Liu Qu's staff blamed Rong Ai, who confessed the relationship. Rong Ai was punished, but she just said that she was having an affair with the doctor. Liu Qu became more and more angry, so she tied Rong Ai to a post, gouged out her eyes with a red-hot sharp knife, cut off the meat on her thighs, and finally poured molten lead into her mouth, thus destroying Rong Ai.
The decoration here is not a woman's decoration, but an extremely cruel punishment. It refers to scraping off a person's meat with an iron brush until the meat is gone and finally he dies.
The real inventor of the punishment of grooming is Zhu Yuanzhang. According to Shen Wen's "Politics of the Sages", when the punishment of persuasion was carried out, the executioner stripped the prisoner naked, put him naked on the iron bed, poured boiling water on him several times, and then brushed off his flesh with an iron brush. It's like folk killing pigs after scalding with boiling water until the skin is brushed and the bones are exposed, and the punished person dies before it's over.
The punishment of modification has the same effect as the punishment of 2008. According to "Biography of Huan in the Old Tang Dynasty", Wu Sansi sent to catch Huan, dragged him around with a bamboo fork, and then killed him with a stick.
