"See claustrophobia as a punishment for locking women in high walls and deep courtyards.
In history, there are many examples of women being locked up in the inner courtyard and imprisoned for life.
For example, Mrs. Qi, Liu Bang's beloved princess, was accused of various crimes and was left in hell.
This practice of being left in limbo was inspired by the punishment of "claustrophobia".
As for jealous women who locked maids and concubines in darkrooms, they starved for several days or even starved to death. There are many records in ancient books.
The second statement and practice is also related to the meaning of the word "claustrophobia", which is considered as a punishment for sewing up women.
In the Selected Works of Sword won by Chu people, there are many records of "jealous women" abusing their handmaids and arbitrarily executing them.
Such as "smashing garlic into the maid's vagina and sealing it with a rope", "drilling her vagina with a cone and locking it, and throwing the key in the well" are all punishments for people's imaginary claustrophobia.
The dissolute master raped his handmaid, while the cruel and jealous master and mother-in-law tortured him. It's really "a day's length, this pole"!
