Title: Lingchi of Wang Qing
Date: 1614
DocumentNature: Engraving
Repository: Turandot
Color: Black and white
Caption: No caption, but the chart held by a soldier reads: "Lingchi of Rebel Wang Qing 凌遲反賊王慶"
Particulars: The engraving is signed at upper right: "engraved by Liu Junyu 劉君裕刻". Liu was a famous engraver, who worked in various publishing houses of Jiangnan in the early 17th century. His illustrations for Shuihu zuan dates 1614
Topic: Lingchi 凌遲
Description: This is a rare case of depicting and representing a legal dismemberment. Wang Qing was one the defeated rebels, who was handed over to authorities by Song Jiang and his fellows after their rallying to the Emperor. Some details in the picture fit with descriptions (like brasero — to burn convict's skin?), but some might as well be fanciful: the condemned hung by his hair to a kind of gallow, for instance. The text facing the image in fact provides no depiction but some conventional sentences on the punishment, while the artist indulges in representing the gruesome details of lingchi agony.
