摘　　要：中国古代酷刑大体可分为讯刑与法定刑两种,由于法外施刑的大量存在,刑罚之残酷是人类历史上罕见的。株连之法的适用使得一人犯重罪往往同时祸及其妻子儿女、三族、九族的亲人甚至是朋友、邻居。统治者利用酷刑来达到惩罚、恐吓、确认皇权的无上权威甚至是娱乐的目的,酷刑对中国人社会生活、社会心理有久远影响,公民权利意识的觉醒对摆脱酷刑文化的影响、促使中国走向法治化社会有重要影响。Ancient Chinese cruel torture may fall into inquisition torture and legal torture, both of which were the cruelest in the human history. The performance of implication made three generations, or nine generations, or friends, or neighbors related to a culprit suffer from torture. Rulers decreed cruel torture to maintain their imperial authority or amuse themselves by punishing, threatening their subjects. Cruel torture has a far-reaching impact on the Chinese social life and psychology. The awakening of civil right consciousness is of great significance to shake off the cruel torture culture and get onto the legal track.
