History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
Many people laugh when they think of happy things, laugh when they see funny things, and say "Laugh me to death!" under the laughter!" But laughter is sometimes not something you can actively control.
Friends who have seen martial arts novels or martial arts dramas must have heard about the laughing hole described in it, and once they are lit up, they will laugh a lot, and the plot will bleed and die violently. We all know that the acupuncture points of Chinese medicine unique to Chinese medicine have always been an ancient medical technique, so is the laughing point empty? In fact, the laughing hole really exists, like the heart of our foot is a kind of laughing hole, once touched, it will laugh uncontrollably.
Laughing is uncomfortable, making people feel like they are being tortured, and in history there is really a punishment of laughter (also known as itching), on the surface, the prisoner who is tortured will laugh a lot, but in fact, the prisoner will die violently in half an hour because of laughter.
The cultural differences between China and Western countries have existed since ancient times, but this seemingly non-"painful" laughter punishment has been accepted by ancient China and European countries, but the degree of use of laughter in ancient China and European countries can be said to have a strong contrast between heavy taste and small freshness.
In the history of ancient China, there were many cruel punishments used to force prisoners to confess, such as the death penalty is often three o'clock in the afternoon, after the autumn to ask for beheading, but the seemingly painless punishment of laughter is also a kind of death penalty, which was called "itchy death sentence" in ancient times.
We all know that in ancient China, men were respected, and if a woman was not chaste, whether it was true or not, it was equivalent to being sentenced to death. In ancient times, there were many kinds of punishments for women who lost their virginity, most of them extremely cruel. Laughter is one of countless cruel punishments. This punishment requires the help of foreign objects and is generally used in summer. The woman was tied to a pillar with dirty grass and decaying wood, and dirty water was poured on her body, and then flies and mosquitoes were let around people to bite, and the victim was only bitten and laughed and then it was itchy, and the itch was painful in the back, and the punishment of being torn to death by countless mosquitoes was extremely cruel.
Compared with the use of this kind of punishment in ancient China, the use of laughter punishment in European countries is more popular, Europe after experiencing the Renaissance movement, it pays attention to people-oriented, respects everyone's humanity, and rarely uses heavy punishment to punish prisoners.
Laughter punishment exists because of the mentality of the spell caster, the degree of criminal law is also different, and now, the punishment of laughter punishment has disappeared from the punishment, but if the light laughter punishment reappears, will you accept it?
