The ancients divided a day into twelve hours and one hundred hours. Carved? It's a notch on the timer, and an instant is about 14.4 minutes. What time? And then what? Carved? It's actually two timing systems. Noon? Today, between noon 1 1 and 13, 3 noon is near noon 12, which is the strongest time of the day.
What is the common killing time on TV? A quarter past noon? Why this time? This is actually related to the ghost factor in folk stories. At that time, people thought that noon of the day? Yang Qi? At its peak. In ancient times, it was always thought that killing people was? Yin? Whether the murdered person deserves it or not, his ghost will haunt the judge who made the judgment, the official who supervised the execution, the executioner who executed the execution and so on. Therefore, at the peak of execution in Yang Can, ghosts were suppressed. So? A quarter past noon? Now is an important moment to execute the death penalty.
There is another saying? A quarter past noon? People's energy is the most exhausted, so at this time, prisoners are also sleepy, and the pain may be relieved when their heads fall to the ground. Therefore, this time is also chosen to alleviate the suffering of prisoners.
The above two statements seem reasonable, but they are not. A quarter past noon? It is not the real execution time in history, but fiction and literary works.
According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, every year from beginning of spring to the autumnal equinox, as well as the first month, May, September, big sacrifice day, big fast day, 24 solar terms day, the first day and the last day of each month, and the birthday without killing every month (that is, every tenth, first day, eighth day, fourteenth, fifteenth, eighteenth, twenty-third, twenty-fourth, twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth, thirtieth) are not allowed. It is stipulated in? Is it sunny in the rain or at night? In this case, the death penalty shall not be executed.
Moreover, the ancient execution was generally not a heinous crime, nor was it executed immediately, but was taken into custody after the autumn, so there was a saying of "asking questions after the autumn".
It can be seen that the number of days of execution in the Tang Dynasty was less than 80 days, and the execution time was between 1 and 5 pm, so it was not? A quarter past noon? .
Three o'clock at noon in TV series is just a superstition, which has no practical significance!
