There is an old saying in our country that there are no rules and no squares, which fully illustrates the importance of rules. As small as a family also needs family rules, as large as a country is unlikely to lack national laws. As early as the time of the hegemony of ancient emperors, there were already well-developed state regulations, and in order to rule a country, in order to make their subjects obey his calls and orders, they came up with laws to restrain and punish his people.
It has to be said that the birth of the law has indeed further developed and matured society, not only enabling the people to act in accordance with the rules, but also maintaining the peaceful and long-term development of the country to a certain extent. But everything has its drawbacks, and many ancient dynasties divided their countries because of the untimely rules they adopted. In the law, there are extremely harsh punishments, which are not accepted in today's society. No matter how peacefully a country develops, it cannot avoid crime, and if there is a crime, it is naturally indispensable to impose penalties on criminals, which mainly play a deterrent role, not only to make criminals admit guilt and obey the law, but also to deter many potential criminals.
But some of the punishments of ancient times seem too cruel to people today, and just listening to the names of these punishments is already daunting. It is hard to imagine what kind of mood those ancient criminals had to experience these cruel punishments, and it is estimated that some people in the big prison had to be directly frightened to the point of weakness when they heard that they were going to be punished. Even the torture learned from film and television dramas can make people feel uncomfortable in our opinion. In ancient times, there was a kind of punishment called "Tiger and Leopard Frolic Spring", which was even more terrible than Ling Chi, how was it carried out?
The famous torture in ancient times generally included twenty-two kinds, including lingchi, beheading, cannon burning, peeling, palace punishment, abdominal dissection, burial alive, and unloading of eight pieces, and these tortures were also commonly used in ancient film and television dramas. And the most familiar and inhumane of these tortures is Ling Late. Ling Chi was originally Ling Chi, and first appeared in Xunzi's "three-foot shore, and the virtual car could not board it." The mountain of the hundreds, let the negative car climb the mountain. Why? Ling Chi also. "Lingchi here means slow. And after the development of the times, Ling Chi was slowly used in punishment to reflect the meaning of slow, slowly put people to death, in order to reflect this slowness, the practitioner cut the flesh of the criminal with a knife, and so on to a certain extent, the human blood was almost finished, the pain was almost over, then the decapitation and finally killed people, its degree of cruelty can be described as the first in ancient society, the so-called Ling Chi is also the meaning of a thousand knives.
In addition to the torture mentioned above, in ancient times there were also tortures specifically carried out against female prisoners, which was no less cruel than ordinary torture. And today we want to talk about no less than Ling Chi's torture, the tiger and leopard frolicking. People who don't know just listen to the name and feel that it has nothing to do with the punishment, and it has a hint of interest. If you keep thinking so, you're dead wrong.
Although tigers and leopards are carried in the spring with tigers and leopards, this punishment has nothing to do with these two animals. When the penalty is imposed, the cat is substituted as a tiger, while the leopard is replaced by a mouse. When female prisoners are subjected to this capital punishment, they are stripped naked, stuffed into a sack, and their heads exposed in sacks, in which rats and cats are then placed. If nothing else, the mere fact that rats and cats are messy enough together, in addition to this, the perpetrators will throw lit firecrackers into the sacks, which can be described as extremely cruel.
Firecrackers thrown directly into the sack, equivalent to directly hurting people, and mice and cats hearing the sound of firecrackers will naturally be afraid to jump up and down, and over time will go crazy, and the damage of crazy animals to the human body can be imagined. This kind of punishment of women is not exaggerated to say that it is more cruel than Ling Chi, and it has an element of humiliation, which can be imagined that the status of ancient women is low, coupled with firecrackers and cat and mouse bites, and finally sprinkling salt on the wound, which can be described as heinous. Seeing this, I have to say that the ancients were too cruel in punishing prisoners, and the torture was so much that people shouted terrible. But are there really obedient subjects under capital punishment? Perhaps the ancient emperors took this into account a little, and the people would be more subordinate to him.
