Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
採生折割 (Postal romanization: Tsai Sheng Cheh Keh) literally means “Kidnapping healthy people to be crippled” was an evil practice in ancient China that was a capital crime since the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368). Examples include 1) snatching healthy people’s parts for ritual worship or consumption, and 2) turning persons disabled/disfigured to be used for begging.
From the Ming synasty (1368-1644) onwards, such crime was punishable by slicing (Lingchi), the same punishment for those who commited treason, or parricide. Accomplices of this crime were also put to death.
Some occurences in the modern times I think also count is extraction of adrenochrome from children, genital mutilation, and harvesting cells from aborted fetuses.
