GANGUE, or CANG

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 182 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GANGUE, or CANG , the
European
  name for the
Chinese
  Kia or Kea, a portable pillory, carried by offenders convicted of
petty
  offences. It ccnsists of a square wooden collar weighing from 20 to 6o lb, through a hole in which the victim's head is thrust. It fits tight to the neck and must be worn day and night for the period ordered. The offender is left exposed in the
street
 . Over the parts by which it fastens slips of
paper
  bearing the
mandarin
 's seal are pasted so that no one can liberate the condemned. The length of the
punishment
  is usually from a fortnight to a month. As the cangue is 3 to 4 ft. across the convict is unable to feed himself or to lie down, and thus, unless fed by friends or passers-by, often starves to death. As in the
English
  pillory, the name of the man and the nature of his offence are inscribed on the cangue.
