Anyone who has seen "Love Apartment" should remember the classic quote of Sekiya Magic: "Believe it or not, I kill myself in minutes!" "Of course, the Sekiya magic in the play is only lip service, never touched, after all, life is the first, mouth cannon second." But in Japanese history, abdominal cutting was indeed a once popular method of suicide.
When it comes to cutting the abdomen, we have to mention the samurai of Japan. The samurai were a special group in Japanese history, originating as military attachés in the Heian period (794-1192 AD), who later became an important force in society. It was also after the Heian period that the number of samurai who cut their stomachs in Japan gradually increased.
From our current point of view, this method of ending life is simply masochistic, but the samurai do not think so, they think that after being given to death by the lord, they will perform a ceremony of cutting their own abdomen, which is much more glorious than being pushed out to beheading. Driven by this philosophy, Japanese samurai also developed different ways to cut their abdomen.
The general abdomen cut is to pull out a "one" word with a knife in the abdomen; the ancient abdomen cut, there is a "ten" word or a "three" word pulled out on the abdomen. This may be a bit abstract, but let's take a concrete example. More than 150 years ago, a man named Wushi Ruishan chose the "three-character abdominal cutting method" and staged the most painful "suicide".
Takeshi Seoyama, a special believer in Bushido, was imprisoned on August 18, 1863, after losing a power struggle in Japan. Two years later, Takeshi Ruishan received a verdict: "... It should have been severely punished, and it should have been blessed with mercy and cut off the abdomen. Takeshi Ruishan solemnly put on his samurai dress and began the ceremony.
Yes, in the circumstances, belitting was considered a serious ritual. Takeshi Ruishan also took a shower beforehand, and then walked to the place where the ceremony was held, only to see that there were grass mats on the ground, daggers on the table next to him, and his wrong person standing next to him. What is the wrong person?
To put it simply, after the samurai cuts his abdomen, he may not die quickly, but will be tormented by pain, at which time the wrong person will come forward to "mend the sword" and let the samurai get rid of the torture as soon as possible. At that time, Wushi Ruishan did not choose the usual "one" character cutting method, but chose the older and more painful "three" character cutting method.
Specifically, Takeshi Ruishan sent the knife into the left abdomen, and then swiped to the right side 3 times in succession, this scene just thinks about it makes people feel painful, but after he finished doing it, he actually performed a thank you gift, and then sat down. Then, the wrong person went forward to make up the knife 7 times, and Takeshi Ruishan only swallowed his breath.
At that time, people were amazed by the "courage" of Takeshi Ruishan, and many samurai even regarded him as an idol and worshipped him. Because under normal circumstances, "one-word cutting" and "cross cutting" are the usual ways chosen by samurai, but Takeshi Ruishan has adopted a more painful one, and everyone thinks that Takeshi Seosan is really great.
Here we will talk about a little bit of knowledge, the Reasons for the Japanese Samurai's Cutting Belly are varied, it may be the failure of the war, it may be to persuade the lord, or even to save face, bring a good reputation to himself and his family, and get angry for a while. But in either case, the author can't understand this kind of abuse, what do you think?
