EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Punishment of the Tcha or Cangue" takes us back in time to witness a scene of traditional Chinese punishment. The image, captured by renowned artist Thomas Allom and engraved by G. Paterson, showcases Ting-hai, a bustling street filled with men and women dressed in exquisite traditional clothing. The focal point of the engraving is the punishment itself - the Tcha or Cangue. This brutal form of discipline involved placing a heavy wooden frame around an offender's neck as they were paraded through public spaces. It was not only meant to physically restrain but also to publicly shame individuals who had committed crimes. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we are transported to a different era where societal norms and customs differed greatly from our own. The streets are alive with activity as people go about their daily lives amidst this spectacle of justice being served. Through this powerful image, we gain insight into both the fashion trends and cultural practices prevalent during that period in China. It serves as a reminder of how societies have evolved over time while highlighting the importance of understanding our shared history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece for us to appreciate and reflect upon its significance within Chinese culture and beyond.
