In the thirty-first year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1905), the court imitated Western laws to reform the legal system, and torture such as dismemberment was abolished. As one of the most extreme forms of torture, dismemberment had been passed down in China for more than a thousand years, from the initial extra-legal punishment to the legal punishment. In the feudal dynasty at that time, although it had the effect of punishment and warning, it also brought disaster and misfortune to the people.

The death penalty was a cruel punishment. Some of the victims had their flesh cut to the bone during the death penalty, such as Yuan Chonghuan and Lin Fengxiang. However, some of the victims still had some flesh left on their bodies after being dismembered. Therefore, the death penalty might result in the victim being reduced to a skeleton, but this was not the case in all cases.

People who were executed by dismemberment usually did not bleed profusely after being cut. Although no specific scientific principles were provided, some people thought that this might be because the human body would produce a physiological reaction in a state of extreme fear and tension, so that the wound would not bleed, but the blood would seep into the abdomen and calf. Therefore, people who were executed by dismemberment would not die from excessive bleeding.
