Why was the former prisoner executed in the Three Thousand Days?

The execution of ancient Chinese criminals in the Three-Thousand Hours is mentioned in movies and books. This is the time of day and why is the above rule?

According to the ancient Chinese calendar, "time" and "carving" are 2 time units. One day and night divided into 12 times (each time equivalent to 2 hours), divided into 100 etchings (engraved markings on small barrels of water for counting, one day and night, the water was empty with one bucket, each was equivalent to 15 minutes).

Time calculation, engraving of the ancient

Horse Hour is equivalent to 11:00 to 13:00. Horse Hour three times is nearly 12 noon, when the Sun is at its peak, the ball on the ground is shortened. According to this calculation, the three-hour Horse period is equivalent to 1145 noon.

How to calculate the time, engraving of the ancient people.

The way of engraving the ancient people.

The ancients thought this was the time when the positive atmosphere was the strongest.

Execution of criminals at the time of the Horse is three times

According to the weak book of the discipline, the ancients were quite superstitious about execution. They think that ending someone's life is "negative". Whether the murdered person is guilty or not, their ghosts may cling to the law, the bureaucrats, the executioners and the people involved will decide to execute.

Therefore, execution at the moment of the Three-Thousand Days - the time when the positive air is positive - will suppress the soul of the offender . This is the main reason why the ancient people decided to execute on the "hour of the Golden Triangle".

In addition, according to the old concept, another cause relates to the offender himself. The Golden Triangle is also the time when the weakest human spirit is exhausted and easily falls into a sleepy state. If executed at this time, he will be less painful.

Penalty punishment.

The law of the Tang Dynasty, Tong in China stipulates: Every year from spring to autumn, in January, May and September; the days of sacrifices, mussels, and days of falling into 24 air periods, the first day, the full moon, the supernatural, the ghosts, the "forbidden" days in the month (1st, eighth, 15, 18, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30) cannot execute death.

In addition, when the weather is met, "the rain has not stopped, the sun has not yet risen" will not be executed. Under this rule, the Tang Dynasty and Tong each year have less than 80 days of execution of the death sentence.

Under the Ming and Thanh dynasties, the dharma form also stipulates the time for execution like the Tang Dynasty and Tong Dynasty but does not stipulate a specific time.

The book of the Province of Flowers states that: "Now is the end of the autumn and winter. The labor in the prison of the governments, the districts and the district, the transgressions belonging to the form of" evil immortality "are all resolved. Song Luu district is Cao Tiep, after receiving the saints only, he gave the prisoners of the name to the street intersection for execution at the time of the year. "

Thus, the time of execution is not midday.
