There were many punishments in ancient China, some of which seemed to be not serious, but in fact they were extremely cruel. There are also some cruel punishments that have been given festive names by the inventors, such as "Tiger and Leopard Playing Spring".
At first glance, it may seem like a sense of festivity, but in fact, this kind of punishment scene is extremely embarrassing, and the female prisoner's life is worse than death, and she suffers endless humiliation. Many prisoners shuddered when they heard the name of this punishment.
In ancient times, this cruel punishment was mostly used to punish female offenders, and its cruelty was comparable to that of Ling Chi. The specific method of execution was to first strip the female prisoner of her clothes, place the prisoner in a sack with several rats and cats, and then tie the mouth of the sack tightly with a rope.
Finally, the jailer will light firecrackers outside the sack.
Cats and mice are predators long before they are put in sacks. And now, they are locked together, and the sound of firecrackers outside only adds to their fear.
In this chaotic environment, the cat is constantly chasing the mouse, and the female prisoner is terrified by all this.
When the two animals in the sack were quiet, the jailer released the female prisoner. However, it was not the end of the story, and the jailer also sprinkled salt water on the female prisoner's wound, making her pain even worse.
Even if there is a chance to be released from prison, the psychological shadow often lingers on female prisoners who have undergone this punishment, making it difficult for them to regain their free life. This level of pain is enough to make people feel that life is worse than death.
