In ancient times, the punishment of women was relatively cruel. Some punishment methods specially formulated to target women's characteristics not only destroyed women's bodies, but also hurt their spirits. They were extremely shameful, such as torture and torture. (finger), cane punishment , death penalty, claustrophobia (castration for women), etc.

Next, Jincheng Muyu will take a look at several cruel and shameful punishment methods for women.

One of them, torture.

Beating torture, also known as finger-twisting, also known as finger-pinching, involves clamping the fingers with a stick and pulling them hard. This kind of punishment is not very bloody on the surface, but in fact it is very cruel, especially for women. The fingers are relatively weak and are more likely to be pinched, causing severe pain.

This kind of punishment will not kill people as easily as a stick. It will make people feel the pain clearly. It is a very cruel punishment. Many prisoners cannot bear the pain and are beaten to death, such as "The Surprise at the First Moment" Medium:

"Shen Chun was tortured severely, and Lin also pinched his fingers. He couldn't deny it, and he did it one by one."

In addition to pinching the fingers, there is actually another kind of punishment that also targets the fingers, that is, pricking the slits of the fingers. Punishment is less invasive, but it can directly stimulate the nerves. Every injection is very painful. Regarding this punishment, those who have watched " Huanzhugege " basically know that in those days, Grandma Rong gave Ziwei and others the injection. The pain is heartbreaking.

The second one is in the shape of a stick.

Cane punishment is a common punishment in ancient times, commonly known as spanking and spanking. It is a punishment for both men and women. However, this kind of punishment is even more unspeakable for women, not only causing physical harm, but also mental harm.

Because you will take off your outer clothes when spanking, this was an extremely humiliating punishment method in the ancient feudal society where women were very conservative. Some fierce women would rather die than suffer this punishment.

Third, claustrophobia.

In addition to a large number of women in the harem of ancient emperors, there was also a group of "neither male nor female" people, that is, eunuchs . Eunuchs are a group of men who have been subjected to castration. There is also a similar castration for women, which was called "claustrophe" in ancient times.

Regarding claustrophobia, it was recorded in " Shangshu ":

"If the palace rectifies doubts, he will be fined 600 trophies, and the crime will be confirmed after reading."

This is a kind of punishment that deprives women of their reproductive rights. "The palace is also the punishment of obscenity, the male is mutilated and the woman is in confinement, which is the next death penalty." This kind of punishment is second only to the death penalty and is a very severe punishment.

During this punishment, a woman is repeatedly hit on her lower abdomen with a wooden hammer, damaging her uterus and other organs, causing her to lose her fertility. "Jieshi Shengtan" records this:

"Hit a woman's chest and abdomen with a mallet, and something will fall down and cover her wife's door. She can only defecate, but humanity will never be destroyed."

This kind of punishment is mainly for women who have sex with certain people who should not have sex with them. There are fewer official punishments and more lynchings. Most of them are wives venting their anger on their husbands' lovers outside.

In addition to these punishments, there are also very cruel punishments such as "riding a wooden donkey" . This is also one of the important reasons why there were so many unjust, false and wrong cases in ancient times. It is recorded in "Selected Commentaries on the Ten Years Before the Revolution of 1911·On the Trend of the Revolution 1":

" Qing law Severe torture, the torture used included cane, shackles, hand shackles, leg shackles, clamping stick, finger squeezing, knee pressing, Questioning and waiting is extremely cruel in the world.”
