What was the happiest punishment in ancient times? Painless and bloodless, but no one can stand it for more than an hour?

This kind of punishment comes from laughing punishment in Europe, which was invented by European nobles to punish criminals or prisoners. Specifically, it is to tie people to a board, leak their hands and feet, and then scratch your feet with some feathers to make you laugh until you confess.

Some people may not believe it. Can this be regarded as punishment? But people who haven't experienced it personally can't understand it. It's not the same as those punishments that shed tears and blood. You can bear those punishments when they hurt, and you may bear them. If you can't, you will be in a coma, but you can't laugh at them. You can't stand them for a while. It's hard to stand them for an hour or two. You may shed tears, even incontinence, and some will die of lack of oxygen. This is what we often say.

Moreover, this punishment was later upgraded to licking hands and feet or licking nests with animals, and the execution time was as long as ten hours without interruption. Later, in the Han Dynasty, laughing punishment gradually entered our country, but it was only used in the royal family to give them a decent way to die.

In fact, there were many unconventional punishments in ancient China, such as Ling Chi, Ren Bi or Bao Jiao, which were invented by Zhu Yuanzhang of Ming Dynasty and Zhou Wang of Shang Dynasty. They invented these punishments to deter tyrants of officials and people. It's bloodier than laughing at punishment. No matter what kind of punishment, it is a desert of feudal society and should be abandoned. On the other hand, we should be glad how happy we are living in this civilized society.

Here's a warm reminder: control your time when tickling others with friends. We know that this operation is very dangerous after learning about laughing punishment, so we must pay attention to safety.
