What penalties were there in ancient times that were specifically used against women?

When I was a child, everyone watched Princess Pearl, and I still remember that Sister Rong stuck a needle, which became the shadow of many people's childhood. Acupuncture does exist, and most of it is aimed at women. Pass a thin needle through your nails, because your fingers are interconnected, so the pain is unbearable for ordinary people.

Second, stand brick.

This may sound strange to everyone. How to punish standing bricks? Almost all of us have stood. I just felt a little sore after standing for hours. But most women in the past were bound feet, so they all pursued the beauty of three inches of golden lotus.

These feet have been deformed after foot binding, and there is no way to support themselves to stand for a long time. After standing on the brick for several hours, my leg felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and it hurt like lead.

So many women will have urinary incontinence after standing for a period of time. This is still destroying women's self-esteem, so it is a double torture of body and mind.

Third, cooking.

As the name implies, cooking is to cook people, prepare a big pot, then fill it with water and throw people directly into it to cook. When the water temperature rises, people will suffer in hot water. This process is very slow until it is slowly boiled to death.

This kind of punishment is generally used in the palace, aiming at those maids who have made mistakes. In the TV series "Walking on Thin Ice", a maid-in-waiting was punished.

Fourth, a post became popular.

Many people think that Zhang Hong is a poison, but in fact, Zhang Hong hit a woman below the waist with a board. Until the skin was raw and the bones separated. Seen from a distance, it looks like a red cloth, so it is called red. This is also an extremely cruel punishment, which is also common in the palace.
