It can be said that where there are people, there is punishment, because the origin of punishment comes from the instinctive revenge of animals. Especially in the early stage of the development of civilization, when the hierarchy was formed but the folk customs were not yet civilized, there were many unexpected tortures.
When it comes to torture, the most known torture is the ten major tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the word "ten" here is actually a virtual word, and there are more than ten kinds of real torture. It can be said that the torture of the ancients is only something you can't think of, and you can't toss it without them.
Some punishments may not sound cruel from the name, but if you understand the whole process, you can see how vicious the mind of the person who carried out the criminal law is. For example, the punishment of water drops is obviously a name as gentle as water, but the pain it brings to people is only deeper.
01 The tyrannical and vicious King of the Emperor.
Also known as "droplets", as you can tell from the name, it is a form of torture that uses "drops" to inflict severe punishment on victims. This punishment is ** for the famous, the king of the Shang Dynasty - Emperor Xin.
We all know that in many wild histories, the evaluation of the king is not very good. And the most famous of them is tyranny, and he even invented hundreds of punishments, which are used to deal with people when he is not happy.
He is best known for the punishment of cannon burning, in which a pillar made of copper is burned red with fire, and then the living are put on it until they are burned alive. The king was deeply amused, and it was really outrageous.
And in addition to the punishment of cannon burning, there are also some less well-known forms of torture. For example, he once saw several pregnant women on the road, and in order to see whether they were pregnant with a man or a woman, he ordered the pregnant women to be arrested and disembowelised one by one.
Another example is one winter morning, when he came across a fisherman walking in the water, he immediately thought that this person was skeletally amazed, otherwise he could not be so hardy. And in order to verify this person's guess, the king directly ordered someone to cut off this person's feet for research and so on.
The king of Shang had no empathy for the common people, trampled on the dignity and lives of the other party, and was just as cruel to his own relatives. The most famous is the uncle of the king of Xu, Bigan, who was hated because of his outspoken advice, and was finally gouged out by him.
To sum up, it can be seen that the tyrannical and vicious king of this person is completely a tyrant who does his own thing and has no morals and ethics. And these punishments were not enough, he always wanted to try new ways to torture people.
So at a certain banquet, he accidentally saw a drop of water, so he began to make a fuss about water again, and the drip punishment appeared.
02 The origin of the punishment of water drops.
The death of the king was at a banquet, and this brutal monarch was vague in state affairs, but he wanted to change his tricks every day in his pleasure hunting. So at a certain banquet,Feeling that it was difficult to satisfy his habits at ordinary banquets, King Xuan began to order people to bring the tigers raised in the harem to the main hall.
It was a tiger that could eat people, wild and untamable, and there was no obstacle to such a beast coming to the main hall, and everyone present was naturally very afraid. Many of the ministers who came to the banquet could not stand it and withdrew from the palace one after another.
And what the king wanted to see was the ministers, who looked scared and frightened, and immediately called people in and asked the palace maid to pour tea. The scene that men are afraid of, can these little palace maids stand it?
The life of the partial monarch cannot be violated, in order to save their lives, they can only tremble and pour tea. But the tiger was eyeing at him, and there was a little palace maid who was so frightened that she couldn't stand steadily, and once stumbled over the tea, but fortunately, the king didn't blame him at that time.
Just when the little palace maid finally had the courage to pour tea for the king again, Xu was still too nervousWithout noticing for a while, in the process of pouring tea, a drop of water was dropped on the clothes of the king. This was a very small drop of water, and if you don't pay attention to it, you won't find it, but the king of Xuan just stared at it, and in an instant, she was so thoughtful that the little palace maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
The king immediately asked Daji on the side how to deal with it, although Daji was a famous demon concubine in history, she also had many vicious methods. But such a vicious person can only be released with the connivance of a more vicious person
In terms of viciousness, Daji was still not as cruel as the king of Xu, and she immediately proposed that it would be better to throw this palace maid into a basin full of snakes, insects, rats and ants. But the king felt that it was boring, it was too simple, since the sin of this palace maid started with a drop of water, it was better to end with a drop of water.
03 Waterboarding turned out to be so cruel.
So, the king immediately ordered someone to arrest the palace maid, and he thought about how to make a fuss on the water for a day. The next day, he was eager to get the palace maid out again.
This time, he ordered the maid to be tied up, shaved off her hair, and then fixed a wooden barrel above her head. Then he ordered the bucket to be filled with water, and a hole was drilled in the bottom of the barrel to ensure that the water in the barrel fell exactly on the back of the palace maid's head.
At first, everyone didn't understand what the king was doing, because the water was also clean water, and it didn't seem to be a punishment like that. But the so-called water droplet stone wearing, a drop of water once or twice is really not a concern, but a day or two or even longer?
In this way, the palace maid was fixed there, eating and drinking every day and being taken care of, but she was getting haggard day by day, and the back of her head was dripping with water, which made her whole nervous tension very tense, and her daily muddy nightmare spirit almost collapsed.
And after a long dripping in one place, but in half a month, some wounds began to appear on the back of her head. Later, it was slowly infected, and after two months passed, the back of the palace maid's head had already appeared and began to become inflamed and ulcerate.
The palace maid wailed in great pain every day, but the more this happened, the more excited the king became. Finally, after two and a half months, the palace maid closed her eyes for a long time in extreme pain, and the torture finally ended.
04 Epilogue. Nowadays, there are many theories that have begun to rehabilitate the king, saying that the history books were written by the victors, and the real one still has his own deeds. It's just that his approach has moved the interests of too many people and has attracted destruction, but this statement is difficult to confirm after all.
No matter who wrote the history books, what we need to know is always to learn from history. At a time when civilization is becoming more and more prosperous and powerful, I also hope that we can have more humanistic care and empathy, and be a civilized person.
