This essay was largely because I want to fix some idea on people perception in wooden donkey (+post some stuff before the actual stuff comes out). Aside from that , the essay will show my standard on wooden donkey.

1. Historical origin

According to both Ming and Qing law code, a woman has a certain chance to be sentenced to Lingchi if she commited crime like adulery, high treason. Beause of the way how lingchi was conducted, it was so certain that the crminal was stripped naked to be executed. However, will a female prisoner be stripe naked and forced to sit on a wooden horse, then two wooden stick stuck in her both holes ?

Riding the donkey in our concept is actually more like a fairytale, it is not exist in our imaginary form, atleast in the official law code. What we like is actually come from some novel during the Ming and Qing,like 《狄公案》(where it give a brief description on how it should looks like.) Another famous sauce is on Water Margin (Shuihu zhuan) 《水滸傳》

「大牢裏取出王婆，當廳聽命。讀了朝廷明降，寫了犯由牌，畫了伏狀，便把這婆子推上木驢，四道長釘，三條綁索，東平府尹判了一個『剮』字，擁出長街。兩聲破鼓響，一棒碎鑼鳴，犯由前引，混棍後催，兩把尖刀舉，一朵紙花搖，帶去東平府市心裏，吃了一剮。」

It said：they take out the prisoner, announced her crime, then they put her on the wooden donkey, and the rest is described how it's go on. This sauce give a perception that prisoner sentenced with lingchi will likely to go on a wooden donkey ride.

However, I don’t think they can wrote something entirely based on imagination. The first person who wrote such noval, might have seen these practice somewhere else, it might be additional torture from the officer,private execution.etc.

Though, another form of wooden donkey did exist in the Chinese history, and it is usable in both male and female：

In the famous drama during the Yuen Dynasty, The Injustice to Dou E (竇娥冤)，it has a famous phase regarding the wooden donkey：​

「張驢兒毒殺親爺，奸占寡婦，合擬凌遲。押付市曹中，釘上木驢，剮一百二十刀處死。」

It said：a man who killed his dad and fucked the widow, so we sentence him to Lingchi. Sent him to the market and nail him on the wooden donkey, then execution by 120 cut Lingchi.

Another source claim that it should like a cross:

楊光先非常敵視天主教，專門寫了一篇《辟邪論》的著作，內容就提到耶穌被釘在十字架上，「實凌遲重犯之木驢子爾。是耶穌之弟子，無家不供數木驢子矣」

It said：A official during the opium war, who is very hostile to Catholic, written a essay said：(Jesus cross) is actually the wooden donkey for Lingchi prisoner. Every Christian will have one wooden donkey in his house.

What I believe is like this：

The fantasy form of wooden donkey did not exists in official law code, but there may still possibility of being used as an extra punishment or private torture by the family in some rural areas of the Empire. As a official punishment, wooden donkey are a merely transportation device for both female and male with serious crime; and there are no any relation towards the word “Xiaobun”.

so we can only conclude in the below image : he really don’t know it.

2. Modern novelist common idea on wooden donkey

1. As long as you are a female prisoner, no mater you are lingchi or not, you still have chance on the wooden donkey

2. As long as there are stake in the vagina + it is a parade on the street then it is counted as a wooden donkey parade. From this spot people tried to invent different post or frame for a more shameful wooden donkey.

3. Even the legacy design has its improvement : ranging from customization of 1 stake to two stake, does it have a back or not. etc.

4. accessories can choose : from picard, nipple rings, gag. etc

as more people started to draw wooden donkey theme works, different wooden donkey has been invented.

3. My commission Standard

1. Stake：It has to be two, one for vagina and one for anal.

2. The back : it is important to have it as it can fix the prisoner head by tie their hair on the back.

3. Picard : more can be read from my previous essay. the prisoner must be lingchi so it must wrote 剮

4. Pubic hair : to make where the pussy be more visable, the pubic hair will stay until it was shaved at the execution site. As the prisoner body is clean it will be so attract people’s evye view on that dark pubic hair on her white body.

5. gag/nipple ring : gag was in fact a short wooden stake, and nipple ring is tied on rather than pieced in.

6. Rope：we have tried three and a half type of tying in my commission:

Japanese V-shape breast bondage : Gudako, Morgan

Chinese traditional bondage : Jeanne Alter, Chow, Xiang

Chinese traditional bondage (alteration) : Wong (two rope is added around the breast)

Japanese traditional bondage : Scáthach
