Ancient Chinese Punishments Abbey leith
If any laws were broken in ancient China, the punishments were very severe. The seriousness of each crime determined the form of punishment that would be received. For example, a small crime would result in a beating from a bamboo stick which was considered a very 'little punishment', and the worst punishment was they weren't allowed any support from their families and all their possessions were taken away from them. Then the criminal was tortured cruelly and executed the same day.

In this form of execution, a knife was used to remove portions of the body over an extended period of time, eventually resulting in death. The order was eyebrows would be cut off first and then they would cut off the shoulders, chest and then arms and legs, They always leave the heart till last. You would get slow slicing if you committed treason, or killing someone's parents.
