The Ten Tortures are those

Edited section peeling skin

Peeling from the spine when the knife, a knife to the back of the skin into two halves, slowly with a knife to separate the skin from the muscle, like a butterfly spreading the wings of the tear. The most difficult is fat, because there is a bunch of oil between the skin and muscle, not good to separate. There is another method of peeling, I don't know how credible it is. The method is to bury the person in the earth, only one head is exposed, cut a cross with a knife at the top of the head, and after pulling the scalp apart, pour mercury down into it. Due to the heavy gravity of mercury, it would pull the muscles and skin apart, and the person buried in the earth would keep wriggling in pain, but could not break free, and finally his body would jump out of the mouth from the set "naked", leaving only a skin in the earth... After the skin was peeled off, two drums were made and hung at the entrance of the Yamen as a warning. The earliest skinning was done after death, but later developed into live skinning.

Editing this section of the waist beheading

Because the waist beheading is to cut the person from the center, and the main organs are in the upper body, so the prisoner will not die at once, and after the beheading will still be conscious, and will have to wait for a long time before they will be cut off. Ming Chengzu killed Fang Xiaoru is to use the waist chop, legend has it that after a knife down, Fang Xiaoru also elbow propped up crawling, with a hand dipped in blood even book "usurpation" word, a **** wrote twelve and a half before he broke his spirit.

Edit this section of the car crack

That is, five horses split the body, very simple, is the head and limbs of the tortured person with a rope, by five fast horses to the five directions of the gallop, the people torn into six pieces. I remember that Shang Yang was tortured by five horses. It took a lot of effort to cut off a person's head and limbs, let alone pulling them. And the suffering of the victim is even more imaginable. When the time comes to tear, I'm afraid the victim will no longer feel any pain. The pain is when it is being pulled.

Editing the Five Punishments of the Club

To behead, amputate, cut off the hands, gouge out the eyes, and cut off the ears and nose, i.e., "to dismantle the eight pieces", the head, hands and feet of a person were usually chopped off only after the person had been killed, and then the torso was chopped into three pieces. After the death of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, Empress Lu captured his favorite concubine Madame Qi (the mother of Liu Ruyi), chopped off her hands and feet, cut off her nose, ears and tongue, and gouged out her eyes, and threw them in a pigsty to feed, naming them "human swine". As a result, Empress Lu's own son saw them and was scared to death. (But actually did not die)

Editing Ling Chi

The earliest was to kill people and then chop them into mincemeat, called "mincemeat", and those who were subjected to this punishment remembered Zi Lu, as well as Bo Yi Kao, the eldest son of King Wen of Zhou. Later, it was developed into a more refined form, with the aim of inflicting the greatest possible pain on the prisoner, so that not only was the punishment inflicted while he was still alive, but he was also required to suffer a number of cuts before he died. It is said that the development of the later, each time the lynching to be executed by two people, starting from the feet cut, a **** to cut a thousand cuts, that is, to cut down a thousand pieces of flesh before the prisoner is allowed to cut off the breath. And it is said that if the prisoner breaks his spirit before the full thousand cuts are made, the executioner will also be punished. This developed into the art of capital punishment. The most famous person subjected to this punishment is the big eunuch Liu Zhuan, I heard that a **** cut three days before letting him cut off the gas... The most tragic is the end of the Ming dynasty against the Qing dynasty general Yuan Chonghuan, because Chongzhen emperor in the counter-planning, mistakenly thought that he was collaborating with the enemy to sell out the country, sentenced him to death by lynching, before the execution of the fishing net over the body (so that the muscles stand out in order to under the knife), parade in the street, was the ignorant people of Beijing rushed to the front, the flesh of the piece of his bite down. I am afraid that the psychological pain was much higher than the physical pain. This was one of the official punishments of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Edit Hanging

In foreign countries, hanging is a commonly used punishment. The Chinese hanged by hanging with a bowstring. It is to put a bow around the neck of the condemned person, with the bowstring facing forward, and the executioner starts to rotate that bow behind him, and the more the bow is rotated the tighter it gets, and the condemned person's breath becomes less and less, and he finally cuts off his breath. This is how Yue Fei and his son died in the Windstorm Pavilion, (because he was a meritorious official, he could not be beheaded, but had to leave a whole body) and this is how King Gui, who was exiled at the end of the Ming Dynasty, was hanged by Wu Sangui's own hands.

Edit Cooking

That is, "invite the king into the urn," that is, the Tang Dynasty era, Wu Zetian when the emperor, there is a cool official in the dynasty called Lai Junchen, advocating harsh punishment, often to the refusal of confession to the prisoner to the torture treatment. The method was to find a large urn, stuff the person in it, and then heat it with firewood under the urn. The temperature gets higher and higher, and the tortured person can't stand it more and more, and if he refuses to confess, he is often burned to death in the urn. When Wu Zetian heard about this incident, she brought Lai Junchen to her and asked him what to do if the prisoner refused to confess. When Lai Junchen proudly told him about this method, Wu Zetian lightly said, "Then invite the king into the urn" and burned Lai Junchen to death.

Editing this section of the Palace Torture

Si Ma Qian was subjected to the Palace Torture before he wrote the Records of the Grand Historian, and before he wrote the sentence "The body is straight as a minister of the boudoir" in the "Report on the Book of Ren Shaoqing". The Chinese castration is very elaborate. First, the penis (including the pouch) is tied up with a rope so that the blood does not circulate and naturally necrotic, and then it is cut off with a sharp knife (all of it. Not just the penis)! Not just the penis). After it is cut off, the penis is covered with ashes to stop the bleeding, and a goose feather is inserted into the urethra. When the goose feather is removed after a few days, if the man can urinate, the castration is a success. If the urine does not come out, the person is considered a waste, probably will eventually die of uremia. So if you want to castrate a eunuch, it is best to castrate him while he is still young, as he is much more dangerous when he is older. This punishment is often offset by the nobility against the death penalty. Relative women for the claustrophobia

Edit Amputation punishment

About amputation punishment, people's saying is not quite the same. Some say that it involved cutting off everything below the knee, while others say that it involved chipping off the kneecaps, with the latter being more plausible. Anyway, amputation is a kind of torture similar to amputation. During the Warring States period, Sun Bin was framed by his senior brother and suffered amputation. I heard that his name was originally Sun Bin, but after he was tortured, he was changed to Sun "Bin". If the kneecap is cut off and the protection between the thigh and calf is lost, the person may not even be able to stand up, so the barnyard history says that after Sun Bin was tortured, he couldn't even ride a horse when he went to war, he had to ride a cart (horse carriage or rickshaw).

Edit Insertion Needle or Bamboo Stick

Inserting a needle into the nail slit of the finger. Commonly used for female prisoners. Bamboo stick, which reminds us of the toothpicks we often use, is such a small and inconspicuous object, but also in the arena of punishment and torture to show their skills, rampant for a while. In the Han Dynasty, Xue An was ordered to go to Yangzhou to check the accounts of warehouses. He arrested Dai, a minor official who managed the warehouses, and forced him to expose the county governor, Cheng Gongfu. He forced him to expose the county governor, Cheng Gongfu. He once drove iron pins into Dai's fingernails, and then forced him to pick the hard soil on the ground. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xu, a cool official, often sharpened bamboo sticks and nailed them into the fingernails of prisoners, causing them to die of pain.

Edit Burying alive

Burying alive was a common tactic used in times of war. Because it saves labor and is fast. Buried alive in war, are called prisoners of war to dig their own pits, sometimes will first kill the captives and then push them down, but when there is not enough time (or to save bullets), they will be directly pushed into the future cover the soil. Burial alive is an ancient form of torture in China. I've never heard of any famous people being tortured in this way. The tougher ones would bury the person upright in the earth, with only their head exposed, and then the abuse would begin...

Editing hemlock poison

Hemlock poison is probably the only relatively humane form of torture .... The most famous of all ancient Chinese poisons is hemlock, from which the idiomatic expression "drinking hemlock to quench one's thirst" is derived. It was often used in cases of death

Editing this section Stick Torture

The stake torture. The stick torture we are talking about here is not hitting someone with a stick. The stick torture mentioned here is to take a stick and stick it directly through a person's mouth or anus, the whole thing not penetrating, piercing through the stomach and intestines, so that the person will die an agonizing death. There is no record of this kind of torture in the official history, but it is mentioned in the novel "Chivalry" by Jin Yong, who also gave this kind of torture the beautiful name of "open-mouthed smile".

Edit Sawing Cutting

Sawing a person to death with a hacksaw seems to be on a par with lynching and flaying, so it is no wonder that among the tortures of hell, there is the torture of sawing a person to death. However, sawing a living person not only exists in the legend of hell, on earth is also a real existence. According to the "Three Kingdoms. Wu Shu. Sun Hao biography" records, during the Three Kingdoms, Wu Emperor Sun Hao's concubine instructed the servants to rob the people's belongings in the market, in charge of the market trade in charge of the general Chen Sheng was Sun Hao's favorites, he captured the robbers and brought to justice. The concubine told Sun Hao, who was furious and arrested Chen Sheng under the pretext of other incidents. He ordered the samurai to cut off Chen Sheng's head with a red-hot saw and threw his body under the Siwangtai (Four Hope Terrace).

Edit Broken Vertebra

When a person hates another person so much, he often thinks of breaking his spine. Breaking the vertebrae is indeed a very relieving act, because if a person's spine is broken, he is also dead. In Chinese history, breaking the spine was also a very important torture. According to "Shangjunshu. Reward and punishment chapter", the Spring and Autumn period, Ji Chong Er intends to explicitly stipulate the criminal law, so that the people in the country to abide by the law, and the great doctors to discuss together. When Bengjie, a famous courtier of Ji Chong Er, arrived late, some people thought that Bengjie was guilty and should be punished. Therefore, Ji Chong Er approved the punishment and put him to death by breaking his spine. The generals of Jin were very afraid, and they said, "Bengjie has been following Ji Chong Er in exile for nineteen years, and he has done a lot of work, but now he has been punished so harshly for his occasional minor faults, not to mention us. From then on, everyone was afraid of punishment and obeyed the law.

Edit lead

In the Buddhist story about Yama, there is Yama black and white two phase of the saying, the white phase that is the Lord of hell, there are a hundred officials ordered, beautiful women around the service; black phase that is two hours a day, to suffer from the pain of copper enema. Similarly, there is the torture of tin or lead on earth. The melting point of tin is 232℃, the melting point of lead is 327.4℃, no matter filling tin or lead can burn people to death. And dissolved tin or lead into the belly will solidify into a hard lump, the heavy metal of the crash can also kill. In the Han Dynasty, the queen of the King of Factory Chuan, Liu Dei, Yang Cheng Zhao Xin was jealous and tyrannical. Liu went to favor another beauty named Rong Ai, many times and she drank wine, Zhaoxin jealousy, said to Liu go: "Rong Ai look at people, look a little abnormal, probably and who have a private affair. Liu went to believe it, he saw Rong Ai is embroidering the pattern on the collar of his coat, so he seized the clothes in anger and threw them into the fire to burn them. Rong Ai was so scared that she threw herself into a well to die. Liu ordered people to fish her out, but unfortunately she didn't die. Liu went to caning Rong Ai, forcing her to confess her affair, Rong Ai was tortured, but nonsense, and the doctor had an adulterous affair. Liu was so angry that he tied Rong Ai to a pole, plucked out her eyes with a red-hot knife, cut off the flesh of her thighs, and finally poured melted lead into her mouth, thus destroying Rong Ai until she died.

Edit paragraph combing

The combing mentioned here is not a woman's grooming, but an extremely cruel punishment, which refers to the use of iron brushes to scratch and comb down the flesh of a person's body one by one, until the flesh is exhausted and the bones are exposed, and ultimately, the breath is swallowed. The real inventor of the punishment of combing is Zhu Yuanzhang, according to Shen Wen's "shengjunjiuzhengji" records, the implementation of the punishment of combing, the executioner of the prisoner stripped naked, naked on an iron bed, with boiling water to his body a few times, and then use an iron brush one by one to brush off the skin and flesh of his body. Just like the folk kill a pig with boiling water after scalding to remove the hair in general, until the skin and flesh brush all, revealing the white bone, and the person who was tortured to wait until the end of a long time to die of gas. The punishment of grooming and ling chi have the same flavor. According to the "Old Tang Book. Huan Yanfan biography" records, Wu Sansi had sent Zhou Lizhen arrest Huan Yanfan, put him in the bamboo hewer trailing to and fro, meat was exhausted, revealing the white bone, and then he caned to death.

Edit draw intestines

Early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had a death sentence prisoners to draw intestines. This was done by tying a rope to the center of a horizontal wooden pole and hanging it high on a wooden frame, with an iron hook at one end of the pole and a stone let down at the other end, like a huge scale. The iron hook at one end was put down and inserted into the anus of the prisoner, and the head of the large intestine was pulled out and hung on the iron hook, and then the stone at the other end was pulled downward, so that the end of the iron hook rose up, and the prisoner's intestines were drawn out and suspended in a straight line high above the ground. The prisoner screamed a few times and died in a short while The torture used by the Ming officials captured by Zhang Xianzhong in the late Ming Dynasty also included the extraction of intestines. The practice is, first with a knife from the anus dig out the head of the large intestine, tied to the horse's legs, so that a person riding the horse whip to the distance, the horse cries pulling the intestines, the more the longer the more long, turn instantly exhaustion of the intestines are drawn off, was drawn intestines of the people then died.

Edit paragraph riding a wooden donkey

is an ancient torture used to punish women who collude with adulterers to murder their husbands. According to the "Twenty-four Historical Evolution", the end of the Ming Dynasty, riding a wooden donkey is like this: first on a log erected a wooden post, the woman being tortured hanging, placed on the top of the wooden post, so that the wooden post poked into the vagina, and then let go, so that the woman's body down until the wooden post "from the mouth and nose through the constant days before the gas is dead.

Review

This article is one of the more famous BL novels of the past few years, which is famous for its grasp of human nature. The novel is dominated by two entangled unspeakable emotional lines. The main idea is that what you can't ask for is the 10th torture of eternal life, which is very evocative.
