"Although since ancient times, people have generally believed that human nature is good, but if we think about it the other way around, it can also be said that human nature may be the best, and it is only through acquired education that most people become kind. ”

Human nature is complex, with good and evil coexisting. In order to maintain social order, criminal punishment came into being as an important legal means. Historically, criminal punishment has evolved along with the development of society, and has become a witness to the development and progress of Chinese society.

Punishment also had different characteristics in different eras, which were closely related to the social background and the ideas of those in power at that time. Historically, there have been many forms of punishment, some of which have even been given elegant names, such as the Jade Maiden Climbing the Ladder, the Tiger and the Leopard Playing Spring, the Light Pipa and the Erlong Spitting Whiskers.

Erlong spitting whiskers is a kind of punishment in ancient times, which seems simple, but it makes the prisoner feel trembling. This punishment required the prisoner to eat two bowls of noodles, which contained unimaginable horrors.

When a prisoner receives this kind of punishment, it is often difficult for him to escape with his whole body, and even the mere hearing of the name "Erlong Tu Xu" will be frightened into confessing completely. So, what's so scary about these two bowls of noodles?

In fact, punishment is an important symbol of the development of human society. Since the Shunyu period of primitive society, there have been records of punishment. For example, there are relevant records in the "Shangshu Yaodian".

Although it is difficult to trace the origin of penal punishment, we know that penal punishment exists to maintain social order, punish criminal behavior, and protect social fairness and justice.

In the Xia Dynasty, the five-punishment system was gradually established: Mo, Xuan, Xuan, Gong, and Dabi. Since then, the penal system has been gradually improved, but it has also become more severe, especially after the Qin Dynasty, there have been eight categories, such as flogging, rod, imprisonment, exile, corporal punishment, death penalty, humiliation, economic punishment, and Zhulian.

Under the feudal system, there were many types of punishments, but the system was perfect. Either way, it is a means of torturing people's minds and bodies, and the purpose is to deter and punish people.

In feudal society, the penal system was not just and fair, but was designed to protect the rights of the ruler. Therefore, the penal system is not human-centered, but as cruel as possible.

Historically, there have been many kinds of punishments, even some of which are incredible. When it comes to penal innovations, the imagination of the executioners is limitless. Among the many punishments, Erlong's whiskers are insignificant.

For people who love noodles, two bowls of noodles may not be enough to whet their appetite. In the eyes of many people, two bowls of noodles may not be as good as other foods. However, these two bowls of noodles in prison are not delicious and do not make people feel satisfied.

Before this punishment was carried out, prisoners were locked in dark rooms, denied any food for several days, and even punched and kicked when they were in a bad mood. During this time, prisoners were given only a small amount of life-sustaining water.

When the prisoner is about to be overwhelmed, the jailer will deliver two bowls of noodles. At this time, when the prisoner sees the noodles, he will immediately devour them and eat them before he has time to chew them. Unbeknownst to them, however, this was only the beginning of the punishment.

In ancient times, noodles were not as fine as they are now, when noodles were mainly coarse, and the jailers did not cook the noodles softly, but deliberately cooked them half-cooked.

Just imagine, even today's people can feel bad if they gobble up some food that is difficult to digest. Well, the suffering of those prisoners who have been hungry for several days can be imagined.

As for the two dragons spitting whiskers, this name is ** in the execution process of this punishment. The jailer would tie the prisoner's hands and feet and hang them upside down on the torture rack.

When a person is upside down, the blood will rush to the head, the face will be congested and red, and the noodles that cannot be digested in the stomach will also rush from the stomach to the mouth and nose. When the noodles rush out of the nasal cavity and hang on the face, the shape of a dragon's whisker is formed.

Therefore, this punishment is also known as the two dragons spitting whiskers.
