For those familiar with TV series, the plots in movies are all fictional, written by the screenwriters themselves, but Bao Gao is not, because this is a real form of torture in history. China.
According to the record in the history book “Deputy War” of Tuan Tu – a Confucian at the end of the Warring States period, the Pao torture was devised by Zhou Vuong during the Shang Dynasty. In “Feng Than Dien Nghia”, it is also clearly recorded that: when hunting, Dat Ky and Tru Vuong saw burned trees with ants rushing into the sea of fire, then created cruel torture. This.
At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the brutal King Chu not only could not rule the country, but also forbade people not to speak ill of him. Despite this, the Shang Dynasty was vast, and there was no shortage of people who dared to oppose this cruel king.
During that period, opposing the King was like finding a way to die. No matter who it is, just make the king angry, are tied to a copper post, and suffer the torture of the Pasha. The steps to implement the Pillar’s Mantle are as follows: the first step is to tie the prisoner to a column; In the second step, heating the bronze pillar, finally, in the third step, the prisoner is “baked” to death.
The punishment of the “heated copper column” of the Chu Vuong was the torture of Pao in the early days.
The punishment of the “heated copper column” of the King Pillar was the torture of Shading in the early days, and in later periods it was developed by the ruling class with many other forms. After the Shang Dynasty, along with the change of dynasties, the tools of execution became more and more compact. The method also gradually changed from heating a copper column to just heating a piece of iron and then imprinting it on the prisoner’s body. In some dynasties, it was also a way of imprinting on the foreheads of criminals.
In later dynasties, kings did not use this form of tyranny anymore, but Bao Ba’s transformations only took place in prison to interrogate prisoners; There is no criminal provision to apply this penalty. It can be said that the use of torture is the most common form of torture in the ancient prison.

As for those who don’t wear anything, even light burns their skin and leaves a lifelong scar; fainting, unconsciousness, severe death. Spacing is indeed an extremely cruel form of torture.
