The invention of "Xiaoyao Collapse" in the late Qing Dynasty most frightened female prisoners. What is that?
The invention of "leisurely collapse" most frightened female prisoners in the late Qing Dynasty. This punishment is to tie the legs of female prisoners and hang them, so that their bodies can be hung on a swing. Afterwards, the jailer didn't hit them. They didn't have to do anything but hang like this, including eating and sleeping. Many of them died of madness because they could not bear such a heavy shame.

Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in China. There were prosperous times in Qing dynasty, but there were also declining times. At the end of the Qing dynasty, the national strength was quite weak and the people were numb. At that time, Empress Dowager Cixi became the actual ruler of this declining dynasty. In order to maintain her rule and power, Cixi implemented a series of penalty systems, most of which followed the ancient punishments, but Cixi also created some new forms of punishment, among which "carefree collapse" was the most famous. Later, this punishment was mainly used in prisons built by Russia for the Qing government.

Lagging behind will be beaten, and the backward Qing Dynasty is no exception. Because of its weakness, it was oppressed by western powers at that time. In fact, it's not just western countries. At that time, Russia had a vast territory and oppressed the Qing government many times. Russia did not directly ask the Qing government for money, but repeatedly asked the Qing government for money in the name of building prisons. Russia thus blackmailed the Qing government for many years. Although the Qing government was quite unwilling, it could only choose tolerance in the face of absolute strength.

A few years later, the prison was finally built, and it was not good for the Russians to stay in China. They chose to return to China after the restoration, and the restored prison was handed over to Qing officials for management. The prison was originally planned to be built for female prisoners, so after its completion, it was basically held by female prisoners. Female prisoners have also suffered various punishments in it, among which what scares them most is the punishment called "worry-free collapse".
