Ling-chi-chu-shei (English spelling)

Japanese: 凌遅処死 - りょうちしょし（英語表記）Ling-chi-chu-shei

This was a capital punishment practiced in China from the 10th to the 19th centuries. It involved removing the flesh from a living person while leaving the bones, or cutting off the body. This punishment was imposed without mercy when people rebelled against their monarch, when children killed their parents, when wives or concubines killed their husbands, or when employees or slaves killed their masters. It is the most blatant example of the power control during the Chinese dynasties.

Japanese:

中国の 10世紀から 19世紀にいたる間に行われた極刑。生体のまま肉を取去って骨を残す，あるいは支体を断つ死刑の執行法。人民が君主にそむいたり，子が父母を，妻妾が夫を，雇人や奴隷が主人を殺したりしたようなとき，仮借なくこの刑が科された。中国王朝期の権力支配を最も露骨に示すものといえる。
