Cutting by a thousand cuts was an extremely cruel punishment. The victim would be sentenced to multiple cuts until his throat was cut off. The number of cuts ranged from eight in the Song Dynasty to one thousand or even three thousand in the Ming Dynasty. Although the victim would lose a large amount of blood during the process of being dismembered, according to historical records, the punishment of being dismembered could last for several days or even longer. Therefore, excessive blood loss, coma, and shock during the dismemberment process might not cause the victim to die immediately. However, the degree of pain and the time of death of the victim during the execution process may vary depending on individual differences and the technical level of the executor. In short, being dismembered was an extremely cruel punishment, causing great pain and torture to the victim.

The victim who was executed by a thousand cuts would eventually die. According to the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty's punishment regulations, the victim had to die when the throat was cut. All the meat that was cut off had to be displayed on the table. Therefore, the process of being dismembered would take a day or even ten days. It was extremely painful for the victim. Even for an executioner, it was a heavy job. Therefore, those who were executed by dismemberment would eventually die after hundreds or even thousands of cuts.

In the original novel Joy of Life, Chen Pingping was executed by the Qing Emperor by a thousand cuts.
