《太平广记·卷二百六十八·酷暴二》
每次审讯囚犯，都要铺上荆棘让囚犯躺卧，或削竹签刺他的指甲缝，或用方型梁木压他的胯骨，或让他跪碎瓦片。或者命令他做仙人献果、玉女登梯、犊子悬拘、驴儿拔橛、凤凰晒翅等，直到垂下脑袋，身子精疲力尽。
每讯囚，必铺棘卧，削竹签指，方梁压髁，碎瓦搘膝，遣作仙人献果、玉女登梯、犊子悬拘、驴儿拔橛、凤凰晒翅、猕猴钻火、上麦索、下阑单。
Every time they interrogated prisoners, they would spread out a layer of thorns to make the prisoners lie down on, or would whittle bamboo skewers to pierce their fingernail gaps, or use square beams to press on their hip bones, or make them kneel on broken tiles. Or they would order them to do things such as "Immortals offering fruit," "Jade girls climbing ladders," "Calves suspended," "Donkeys pulling a stake," "Phoenixes exposing their wings," until they hung their heads and their bodies were exhausted.
