What is the ancient clamp punishment?

Clamp punishment, that is, flogging, is a kind of torture imposed on prisoners in ancient times. "Rubbing" is the punishment of pinching the prisoner's fingers, so it is also called rubbing (an ancient instrument of torture, put a rub into the finger and then tighten it hard). During the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the government once tortured female prisoners to extract confessions.

3. Selected works of The Times ten years before the Revolution of 1911: "The Qing Law emphasized torture, and the punishments used were flogging, shackles, handcuffs, fetters, fingers, knees, questioning, etc. This is extremely cruel to the world. "
