Most people understand the punishment of "Yizhang Red", basically from the TV series ".The Legend of Zhen Huan".learned.
Concubine Hua in the play was because she couldn't see the arrogance of Xia Dongchun, so she said".There weren't enough maple leaves this yearRed", he gave a red in summer, winter and spring, saying that it was to add a little color to the maple leaves in the imperial garden.
The audience can also know from Xia Dongchun's frightened eyes that this red is a very severe punishment in the ancient Chinese court.
Historical accounts indicate,In ancient times, there were very few people who could survive a single zhanghong, and most of them died young.
So, why did the ancient Chinese harem have such a harsh punishment to punish the people in the harem?
And why do most of those who survive also choose to commit suicide?
It's just that this is very different from other punishments.
In nature, Yizhanghong originally referred to a plant, a plant in Sichuan called "hollyhock".
Because the flowers are large and showy, and they are easy to cultivateTherefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was gradually promoted to the whole country.
And the plant is huge, and it is full of red flowers when it blooms, so there are also it"One zhang red".called.
But the ancient punishment of "one zhang red" is actually the ancient harem version of the cane.
Therefore, a zhang red is often used to punish concubines who make mistakes orRelatively low-level palace maids and others.
The reason why it is said that there are similarities between Yizhanghong and cane responsibility is that their implementation tools are the same.
Yizhang red is usually used by the eunuchs in the palace to take a long wooden board that is five feet long and more than two inches thick, and is used to administer punishment.
Repeatedly hit the victim's waist and buttocks with a wooden plankBreak one's heart.
From a distance, there is a visual sensation of red dripping with blood, so it has a reputation of being red.
And the horror of a red one,Unlike other punishments.
If the emperor in ancient times ordered the use of a cane, it was generally said that it would be pulled out and hit 20 or 30 boards.
At the very least, there is a clear limit to the number of timesThere is also hope for the inmates.
But the red will continue to be hit repeatedly until the victim's waist is completely broken.
Therefore, the punishment can be punished with a broken lumbar vertebrae, a separation of bones and muscles, and a lifelong disability, or a death on the spot.
Moreover, many people are not allowed to live long even if they still have a trace of breath after being tortured.
Because of the poor sanitation in ancient times, most people would also die within a few days due to wound infection or excessive blood loss.
Therefore, in the ancient harem, a zhang red is one of the most deterrent punishments for concubines.
Even in the court of ancient slaves, there were many restrictions on this cruel punishment.
A zhang red can generally only be ordered to be executed by the most noble in the harem, such as the queen mother or the emperor, the empress and the emperor's favorite concubine.
Although this punishment is cruel, it does have a deterrent effect on maintaining the peace of the harem in a macro sense.
And the number of times in history is very rareThere is also a reason for it.
This kind of punishment is extremely cruel on the surface, and even the emperor rarely uses this cruel method when giving death to palace maids or concubines, and most of the deaths are given by the emperor Bai Aya or a glass of poisoned wine.
Therefore, most people know that "Yizhang Red" is known from TV series.
In order to shape the character image and increase the dramatic tension in the play, such a strict criminal law as Yizhanghong will be used.
In the hundreds of years of harem history of the Qing Dynasty, Yizhanghong only appeared once.
Emperor Qianlong's harem at that time was very chaotic, and all kinds of things competing for favor emerged one after another.
At that time, Emperor Qianlong's favorite concubine -Concubine Chun, Concubine Chun was also born in a famous family, so her vision is very high.
For the other harem women, Concubine Chun was very jealous in her heartOften angry in the palace.
Once, because of an accident, when a palace maid in her palace was doing something, she suddenly made her unhappy.
So Concubine Chun at that time was furious and asked the eunuchs in the palace to pull the palace maid out and implement the criminal law.
In the end, the palace maid because of weak physical fitness, andPerennial malnutrition, causing Yizhang Hong's punishment to die on the stool before the execution was completed.
Concubine Chun thought that she was just a palace maid who had missed it, but if it was over, Emperor Qianlong at that time didn't take it to heart.
But later, the palace maid's parents tried their best to find relationships everywherefinally brought the matter to the court to discuss.
Emperor Qianlong knew that the matter was big and the number of people involved was large, so he felt that he couldn't hold his face, and in a fit of anger, he turned Concubine Chun into a concubine.
Concubine Chun later got a cruel image in the eyes of Qianlong because of this incident, and later gradually fell out of favor.
Moreover, the parents of the palace maid at that time made this matter bigger and bigger, and in the end, it was the royal people who came forward to pay a hundred taels of silver, so they reluctantly suppressed this matter.
After that, the harem became more and more shy about the harsh punishment of Yizhanghong.
Therefore, inIn the history of the Qing Dynasty, a zhang red did appear.
But it is definitely not as easy to implement as the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and it is easy to turn the page.
To end a person's life in such a cruel way in ancient times was to face a great deal of repression and discussion.
Therefore, the maple leaves in the imperial garden are not red enough, and it is impossible to add glory to the red leaves with a zhang of red.
In addition to punishing the palace maids, this cruel punishment will only have a stronger deterrent effect on the concubines in the palace.
Because women in ancient times often lived in the deep palace, they were already weak.
Under such a harsh and heavy sentence,The body is bound to suffer a huge blow.
In addition, women's abdomen is more fragile than men's, and repeated blows with wooden sticks are more likely to result in lifelong disability.
At the same time, most of the concubines in the palace were ancient noblesSelf-esteem is much higher than the average person.
The children of the nobility attach more importance to the honor and personal dignity of the family, and the criminal law of Yizhanghong is also very insulting.
This is because this punishment is to be carried out by taking off intimate clothing, and there will be many people around to supervise it during the execution.
Ancient concubines were very particular about the concept of chastitySuch an insulting scene was totally unacceptable to them.
And after the torture ended, even if they didn't die, they were left disabled, and the emperor had no possibility of favoring them in the future.
Therefore,After being tortured, the concubine is equivalent to a living dead in the deep palace.
Not only are they physically disabled and suffering from daily illnesses, but they are also often depressed mentally, so most of the tortured people barely survive and die of depression with no good results.
Therefore, this was for the concubines of ancient timesThe power of deterrence is not insignificantMost of the concubines are cautious in their words and deeds, and will never behave beyond the norm.
is to worry that one day I will annoy my boss and let this punishment fall on me, and the mistakes of ancient concubines will generally affect the honor of the family or the career of the family.
was punished by a red zhang,It's tantamount to disgrace to the familyThis is even more embarrassing for ancient China, which valued morality and face.
Generally, the palace concubines who are punished by Yizhang Red end up being ashamed and depressedCompared with a zhang red, a glass of poisoned wine or a foot of white silk is much more decent.
Therefore, in ancient times, palace maids or concubines would rather hang themselves with a foot of white silk than receive such an embarrassing punishment.
In ancient times, harsh punishment was also a way of deterrence and ruleIt's just that this form is too unseemly, and the royal family rarely uses it in the harem.
In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the arrogant and domineering Concubine Hua ordered the use of a zhang of red to give death in summer, winter and spring, which is also suspected of fabrication.
Because in the legislation of the Qing Dynasty,Concubine Hua's status is not such a punishment to sentence someone to death.
Therefore, this plot in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is only to set off the cruel image of Concubine Hua, which is not valid in actual history.
In today's legal society, there is no such cruel death penalty as Yizhanghong.
Therefore,Modern people are much happier and freer than ancient people.
When we watch TV dramas now, we can only sigh at the cruelty of ancient punishments.
This is not only a great shame for ancient concubines, but also shocking enough for modern people.
