The zanzhi (拶指) finger crusher was a Chinese instrument of torture consisting of small sticks strung together with cords, which when placed around the fingers and gradually pulled, caused agonizing pain in order to force a confession. Under traditional Chinese law, a person could not be convicted of a crime unless they confessed. The zanzhi was a legal and non-lethal torture method for forcing women to confess, and for men there was the similar and more painful jiagun (夾棍) ankle crusher with three wooden planks that slowly compressed the feet.

  • 拶刑(讀音:ㄗㄢˇ/zǎn),又稱拶指,中國古代一種夾手指的肉刑,一般用于女性。 刑具叫做「拶子」,係由繩索和數根小木棍穿繫而成,木棍數量多為五或六根,串成如「冊」形,藉拉扯二側繩索使木棍向中間壓迫,若人手指置於其中,轻者皮开肉绽,重者指骨可能被夾断。官府常用此刑对女犯逼供。 據說,行刑時衙役先把拶子朝地上一摔,吓唬受刑的犯人。然後命令犯人跪地雙手合掌,向上高舉過頭頂,不讓犯人看到自己受刑的雙手,再把刑具套上犯人的指縫之間,夾在大拇指以外四對手指的指根部位,拉動繩套收攏木棍,擠壓犯人的手指,造成劇痛。而犯人看不到受刑的雙手,會加強用刑的效果,更快失去抗拒的意志。 行刑時兩個衙役在犯人左右兩旁收繩,一個衙役在犯人身後扯着犯人頭髮,防止過度掙扎。還有是 “敲”,是把拶子收緊後,把繩套繞在拶子上綁牢,用木榔頭敲打拶棍的兩頭,使拶棍在指根間來回移動,摩擦被夾緊的指根表皮,加重受刑者的痛苦。所以“敲”也叫“撺梭”。敲得多了會使指根脫皮潰爛,痛苦非凡。 西方古代也有类似的刑罚。罗马教皇禁止数字“0”,有罗马学者在笔记本记载了关于使用“0”的一些好处和说明,就被教皇施行了拶刑。意大利文艺复兴时期的第一个女画家阿特蜜希雅·真蒂萊希曾被拶刑逼供。 (zh)
  • Tean zu (chinês tradicional: 拶指, pinyin: zǎnzhǐ, Wade-Giles: tsan3-chih3, lit. ‘compressão dos dedos’) é uma técnica de tortura física usada na China antiga. Consistia em um conjunto de seis varas de madeira posicionadas ao redor e entre os dedos e conectadas por cordas. Cada vez que o prisioneiro se recusava a testemunhar ou confessar, a corda era puxada, lentamente, apertando os dedos de forma agonizante entre as varas até que seus ossos fossem esmagados. (pt)
