Why did you eat decapitated rice before execution in ancient times? When did "decapitation" rise? The following small series will give you a detailed introduction, and then look down ~

I believe many friends who like to watch historical dramas will find that such a plot often appears in TV dramas, that is, the prisoner is going to die. Before he died, a man brought good wine and meat and said to him, "Finish this meal and go." According to our convention, this meal is called slaughter rice. Is there a decapitation in the TV series? Why did you cut off their heads?

first of all, it is certain that there is indeed a broken head meal in history, and the history is still very early. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period before Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, Chu Zhuangwang, the king of Chu, put down a civil strife and wanted to execute those rebellious ministers. In order to show his kindness and buy people's hearts, he gave these prisoners a hearty meal before they were sentenced. Since then, decapitated rice has been produced and used by various dynasties.

the first is humanitarianism. After all, there is an old saying in China, kill people without blinking an eye. People live on food, and no one can live in this world without food. Death row inmates must lead a miserable life in prison. They often eat big meals. After all, it is possible that other prisoners will rob him of his food, or the delicious food will be secretly detained by the prison guards. Therefore, even if the hatred is so great that the other party can finally enjoy the food, it is natural. Living is better than starving to death.

Of course, in different dynasties, different rulers had different beheading methods. It was the most enjoyable dynasty for prisoners on death row in Song Dynasty. After all, you can eat a very delicate beheading meal before you die. However, other dynasties may sometimes have a little meat. If prisoners on death row have higher status, they will get different treatment.

Secondly, the decapitation of rice was also influenced by Buddhism to some extent. Buddhism emphasizes reincarnation in the afterlife, so that the dead can go on their way after eating. After reincarnation, the feud between you and him will disappear. At the same time, according to folklore, it is said that there is a vicious dog on Deren Bridge. This vicious dog will attack and bite people. In order to avoid being hurt by bad dogs, a piece of half-cooked meat is needed in the broken rice. This piece of meat is for bad dogs. If the meat is given to the dog, the dog will be released.

Of course, this kind of folklore seems extremely naive to modern people, but ancient people did believe it. In addition, not only our country has top-grade rice, but also the United States has exquisite top-grade rice. In addition, American prisoners can mix their own rice. They just need to ask the jailer, and the jailer will satisfy them. For example, Ronnie was shot in 21. When Gardner died, he ate lobster, steak and ice cream. Before he dies, he can watch a movie and enjoy it.

It is not clear whether the American custom of beheading rice originated in China, but the Japanese custom of beheading rice originated in China, separated by water. After all, too much Japanese culture comes from China.
