明代死刑执行方式以斩、绞和凌迟为主,也不乏各种法外酷刑。为了减少各种冤、假、错案的发生,明代确立了“朝审”制度,对死刑案件进行审查复核。受汉唐以来死刑制度的影响,明代也有较为具体的禁止行刑时间的规定。对于杂犯死罪,明政府允许通过“纳赎”、“罚役”等方法进行赎罪。 The way in which the death penalty was carried out in the Ming Dynasty was mainly cut, twisted and late, and there was no lack of extrajudicial torture. In order to reduce the occurrence of all kinds of injustice, falsehood and wrongdoing, the Ming Dynasty established the system of “examination of the DPRK” and reviewed and verified the death penalty cases. Affected by the death penalty system since the Han and Tang dynasties, the Ming Dynasty also had a more specific ban on execution time. For misconduct, the Ming government allowed atonement through “redemption”, “service” and other methods.
