Traffickers are people who cheat, kidnap and sell people. Traffickers, pimps and even recent kidnappers sell their property to others at unbalanced prices. It refers to some adults abducting and selling children. Most of them make a living by selling children. Traffickers are hated by people both in ancient times and now, and China has laws to severely punish traffickers now and in previous dynasties.

In ancient times, although the punishments for abducting and selling children were different in different dynasties, they were basically very severe, and they were basically executed.

From the tomb-robbing law in the early Western Han Dynasty unearthed from Zhangjiashan Han Tomb, we can know that the punishment for traffickers is extremely severe: as long as there is any act of "neglecting others", whether it is betrayed or not, it will be executed and dismembered; People who knowingly buy are "guilty of the same crime"; Those who buy and sell without knowing it will leave traces on their bodies or faces, and then men will build cities unconditionally, and female prisoners will be forced to grind rice as punishment; If the buyer knows later, he will also be punished.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was a famous period of great ethnic integration between the North and the South. At the same time, human trafficking has become more rampant, and its negative social impact is enormous. Therefore, human trafficking is firmly prohibited by the state government, even if the offender is a woman, he will be executed, let alone a male prisoner, but human trafficking is still prohibited repeatedly.

Once traffickers in many dynasties were discovered, they were basically sent into exile. But if a recidivist harms his family, once he dies in exile, his descendants will fill the vacancy of the trafficker and perform the task instead of him. In the Qing dynasty, dealing with traffickers was regardless of age and official position. As long as you commit a crime, you will be executed that year.
