In this form of execution, a knife was used to methodically remove portions of the body over an extended period of time, eventually leading to death. The term língchí derives from a classical description of ascending a mountain slowly. Lingchi was reserved for crimes viewed as especially severe, such as treason, or killing one's parents. The process involved tying the person to be executed to a wooden frame, usually in a public place.
