In ancient and modern China and abroad, feudal rulers invented countless tortures in order to maintain their rule. For example, Ling Chi, commonly known as a thousand knives, is the most cruel punishment in Chinese feudal society. The executioners cut the prisoners to pieces, and some even cut thousands of knives, so that the tortured people died. It makes the good guys who claim that "their heads have fallen out but the bowl is not a big scar" want to die quickly. Ling Chi's main use to execute were political prisoners who endangered the interests of the feudal ruling class, which played a good deterrent effect.
In fact, it was not only ancient China that was tortured, but also other countries, and may even be more cruel than china's punishment. The Roman Emperor Vespasian ordered the construction of the Colosseum, and in 80 AD, when the Colosseum was completed, he held a 100-day "celebration ceremony". The celebration was not one in which he invited his ministers to eat, drink, and dance, but to watch a bloody battle between men and beasts of prey, between men and men
The roman ruling class organized and forced 3,000 slaves, prisoners of war, criminals and 5,000 beasts of prey to "perform". If man cannot defeat the beast, he will be torn to pieces by them alive and become their food. This picture is quite cruel, it can be said that it is unbearable to see, and it is extremely bloody. What is even more frightening is that this fight lasted for more than three months, until the beast and the human were destroyed together. And this kind of fight was later staged countless times. Therefore, some people say that as long as you stand on the gladiatorial platform, grab a handful of dirt in your hand, and put it in your hand, there will be blood on the palm of your hand.
There are many punishments similar to those of the ancient Roman Colosseum, one of which is called "Tiger and Leopard Spring". Could it be that the tiger and the leopard, together, want humans to attack? In fact, no, this is a kind of torture that claims to be more terrible than Ling Chi. As the saying goes, "A prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people." "In ancient times, certain punishments were targeted at different groups of people. The "Tiger and Leopard Spring Festival" is a punishment specifically aimed at female prisoners, and it is one of the punishments they fear the most.
"Tiger and leopard frolicking" refers to placing a fox cat and several mice in the same marijuana bag, "tiger" is a fox cat, and "leopard" is a mouse. The female prisoners were then stripped naked and placed in sacks, followed by a few lit firecrackers. Rats and cats are frightened, and they will constantly bite and scratch the female prisoners, making the female prisoners worse off than dead. Although rats and cats are usually more docile, rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, and once they start a frenzy, it is also terrible.
After a while, the jailer poured the female prisoner out of the sack and then "baptized" her with salt water. As soon as the scarred female prisoner touched the salt water, her body hurt and itched, and this pain was unimaginable. "Tiger and leopard frolicking in spring" is also a kind of madness punishment.
