Instruments of Torture**

It must be a recognized fact that the ancient criminal law was serious, and China's torture instruments came into being with the birth of the criminal law. These tortures that make people's hair stand on end sometimes even make the prisoners want to die. Through the introduction of various knives, various axes, various chariots and horses and even ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, I had to lament that the most poisonous thing was the government. The introduction of torture instruments in this book also includes the criminal law standards that have changed with the changes of history, so that readers can also feel the mental control and physical punishment of common people by traditional ethics and feudal rule while reading.

My scalp feels numb after reading this, and I feel lucky to be born in modern times! This book provides a relatively comprehensive introduction to the types and origins of ancient torture instruments, and provides examples to vividly illustrate them. The most impressive thing is undoubtedly the punishment of "Ling Chi" and the fact that Li Si and others took the blame on themselves, which makes people sigh. The "obscene power" of torture instruments is actually the "obscene power" of the ruler!

He made me aware of the cruelty of ancient criminal law. Not everything in ancient times was beautiful, but we only saw its bright side and ignored its dark side.

I have long heard that ancient criminal law methods were diverse and painful and difficult to accept. Today I saw this book introducing ancient torture instruments and some of the criminal law methods in it. I feel even more harsh about the ancient legal system. In ancient times, there were not only various physical torture instruments that targeted different parts of the body such as the hands, feet, head, neck, and back, but also specific mental torture instruments that targeted people's mental torture. Ancient torture instruments and torture are cruel and inhumane behaviors. They are not in line with our current principles of respecting human morality and ethics. After learning about ancient torture instruments, I cherish modern life even more.

In ancient times when individual rights were not fully protected, various instruments of torture were inevitably used during criminal trials. The various pains they inflicted on the human body would force the suspect to tell the truth about the matter or even surrender. At the same time, the king would also use various torture methods to impose the most severe punishment on those who offended him. With detailed historical data, this book systematically summarizes the torture instruments used in ancient criminal punishment cases, and introduces their use conditions, effects, etc. In detail, which makes people feel chilling.

I wrote a lot about China's criminal law, which made me realize how lucky I was to be born in a peaceful era. The only drawback is that there are no pictures to read, so I can't imagine what the criminal law is like. , It will look better if there is a picture

A very good book that exposes the cruelty of the feudal era in history.

It's actually quite interesting. It would be better if there were pictures and subtitles.

The content of the story is very substantial and the deconstruction is coherent and makes people want to listen to it to the end. The author can understand the hearts of the audience very well.

This book introduced ancient torture instruments in detail and gave me a deeper understanding of history. Thinking of those cruel punishments in ancient times, and then looking at the current society ruled by law, I am really grateful. Just like one of my elders, he experienced that turbulent era and saw many unfair things, but he always believed that justice would come. This book also makes me cherish my current life more and strive to be a kind and fair person.

This book is well written. It shows another side of society that we don't know. Stay away from officialdom, stay away from crime, be a common man, and don't suffer from the pain of flesh and blood. As the saying goes, the human heart is like iron, not like iron, the official law is like a furnace, but the truth is like a furnace.

A collection of short stories, but actually not particularly helpful in understanding torture tools

Seeing so much torture is really frightening. I advise people not to do bad things. Those who are powerful should not be evil-hearted and harm others and themselves.
