Corporal punishment is a kind of punishment that directly destroys the body. Before the Han Dynasty, there were Fu, Mo, Cuo and Gong. Emperor Wendi abolished corporal punishment and changed it to pliers punishment, with 300 generations of punishment. For 500 generations, I left my toe and abandoned this city to replace my right toe. There are different opinions about the existence or abolition of corporal punishment, and this debate continued until the Jin Dynasty.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, corporal punishment was more widely used. As an envoy, Yan Ying once said in front of him when talking about his impression of Qi: "The cities of Qi are cheap and expensive." It means that many people were cut off at that time.
