Flogging is one of the rituals of the emperor. It makes noise and makes people quiet. This ceremony is not only held in the court on weekdays, but also in major court meetings and when the new emperor ascended the throne.
The flogging ceremony existed before the Qing Dynasty, and it was one of the manifestations of feudal monarchy in China.
At present, the earliest record of the flogging ceremony is that Gao Cheng wrote in the Origin of Things in the Song Dynasty: "Flogging was found in the Tang and Five Dynasties." It means that flogging existed in the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, but no records have been found at present.
