What horrible torture were there in ancient times?

I remember when I was in history class in junior high school, the teacher said that I had invented a kind of torture device, which was specially used to torture Mrs. Qi, that is, human torture device. First cut off her hands and feet, gouge out her eyes, inject copper into her ears, make her deaf, cut off her tongue, make her unable to speak, and finally throw her into the toilet. It sounds cruel. At this time, I really hate Mrs. Qi.

I often hear it on TV series, and I will be executed at the end of the year. This year is also a kind of torture. To put it bluntly, it is to divide the victim's meat into hundreds or thousands of pieces, and then slowly cut it off piece by piece. Moreover, in this process, they have to endure the pain for a long time before they die. If it is not completely over and the prisoner dies, it means that the executioner failed. This is what makes you miserable and finally bleeds to death.

There is another kind, which we often hear at ordinary times, that is, dismemberment. Literally, it can be understood as binding the prisoner's limbs and head with five horses. Then let the five horses run at the same time, so that the prisoners can be torn to pieces alive. It's disgusting to think about it, and the tortured person is also very painful.

Lighting a lantern is also a very cruel punishment. Tell the prisoner to take off his clothes, wrap them in linen, soak them in an oil tank, then hang him from a wooden pole and start to point with his feet. If they are out, point them again.

In fact, there were many tortures in ancient times, which were cruel punishments designed by powerful people to torture people they didn't like and make others fear themselves. I am really glad that I live in today's peaceful times. Under the protection of law and justice, these tortures will no longer exist.
