Punishments for committing crimes in ancient China differed greatly from modern ones. These punishments were designed to inflict maximum pain and psychological trauma.
Cruelty was intentional and aimed to cause maximum suffering to the victims and their families, as well as to shock and deter others from committing similar crimes.
The so-called Five Punishments (wuxing 五刑) were the capital punishments in ancient China.
According to legend either the Yellow Emperor 黃帝, or the Xia dynasty 夏 (17th - 15th cent. BCE) adopted these as they were common penalties used by the southern Miao tribes 苗.
