In ancient feudal society, the punishment was very harsh, the ancient rulers believed that the chaotic world should be used heavily, so there are many kinds of death penalties alone, each of which is very terrible, such as beheading, waist beheading and Ling Chi and five horses divided into corpses, etc. This kind of torture, although the punishment is very cruel, but the ancients will have special care for the prisoners who are about to be executed, so that they can eat a good meal and then go on the road.
In ancient times, there was not only meat and wine in the severed head meal of death row prisoners, but since the Song Dynasty, a piece of raw meat would be placed in the severed head meal of death row prisoners, and the average prisoner would not eat this piece of raw meat, but would take this piece of meat in his hand or carry it on his body, because this piece of meat has special uses, which is actually related to china's traditional culture.
The ancients have always believed that people will reincarnate after death, and people will walk on the Nai Ho Bridge after death, where there will be Meng Po for the deceased people to serve a bowl of soup, drink this bowl of soup can forget all the things in the previous life, and then reincarnate again, but in the Nai Ho Bridge Fat there is a vicious dog, it will bite at the deceased person, which will make people unable to reincarnate normally.
If you want to walk safely across the Nai Ho Bridge, you must give this vicious dog a piece of raw meat to eat, so that it will not interfere with pedestrians, and the deceased person can be reincarnated with peace of mind, although this is only a legend, but putting such a piece of raw meat in the bowl of the death row also gives them a lot of comfort and warmth, no matter how much sin they have committed in this life, they can still be reincarnated and reborn as human beings.
