When it comes to inflicting pain on the same kind of people, human beings are really racking their brains to change their tricks, especially punishment!
The punishments in ancient China were ever more varied from generation to generation, and in the Ming Dynasty they were the most severe. If there was even a slight mistake in any matter big or small among the people, they would be tortured!
Penalty was actually a product of that era's principle of using law as a deterrent to maintain rule, but it was so bloody and cruel that it made people shudder.
However, with the development of history, these inhumane punishments have also been relegated to history. Looking at the ashes of past dynasties, this leaves us with a thought: when governing a country, should the punishment be heavy or the people should be heavy?
