The more and more I read about Chinese history, the more I'm surprised it doesnt get much of a mention or guro art dedicated to it
>Every famine has mass cannibalism by either eating the dead or killing their own family to eat
>During such famines, people start selling their children or even selling themselves as meat to provide a last sum of money for food
>Filial piety taken to cannibalistic conclusions: Children cutting off bits of their thigh flesh, arms, eyes, even cranial fluid/bits of their brain to make medicines by which to heal their parents/step-parents
>Absolute tons of balls-to-the-wall suicides and normal suicides for either good reasons or purely for show
>Never mind the cannibalistic/sadistic tortures of the Royal families
Hell, the fate of the Consort Qi is guro as fuck
>"She [Empress Dowager Lü] then had Concubine Qi's limbs chopped off, blinded her by gouging out her eyes, cut off her tongue, cut off her nose, cut off her ears, forced her to drink a potion that made her mute, made her dumb with toxins, and locked her in the pigsty, and called her a "Human Swine" (人彘). Several days after, Emperor Xiaohui saw the "Human Swine", and after realising who the "Human Swine" was, the emperor was so sick of his mother's cruelty that he virtually relinquished his authority and indulged in carnal pleasures."

Anyone got any other good bits of historical guro from the region? I only recently learned of the Japanese ritual of Hitobashira (human pillar), in which they bury someone alive to ensure a new building stays together against the elements
