In fact, this is a threatening effect of ancient interrogation, which we call Tang Wei. In fact, we can also see in some movies that such scenes are church propaganda. You can notice that the sound of these officials beating sticks when they are promoted is quite rhythmic, dense and heavy, which will give people a sense of oppression. For ordinary people, seeing such an environment is actually a psychological pressure and a psychological tactic.

Moreover, when they knock on the stick, they will also shout out the word mighty, which actually has its meaning. The first power is to cooperate with the sound of sticks and strengthen deterrence. Generally, people who have done shady things have basically never been tried after hearing these voices, but in fact, they are already drumming and afraid. Plus the interrogators, they clapped their hands and confessed everything. The word "mighty" comes from the sentence "mighty and unyielding"

I just want to show that good people can't be oppressed by power and give in, and that the law is fair and just. In fact, these were shocking ceremonies in the feudal society at that time, mainly used to deal with some ordinary people. Therefore, according to the regulations at that time, generally speaking, all officials should wear official uniforms when they are promoted to be officials, and all officials should be in place. Everyone was dressed up and gathered in court in a serious way.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the purpose is to publicize the mighty momentum of the yamen, to achieve the role of shocking the prisoners, and to help the prisoners confess. It's a little similar to what we are doing now. Give others a fright first, and then carry out the follow-up operation. And this is also two-sided, one is to put pressure on prisoners. The second is to remind the plaintiff that not playing games in court is a very serious matter, and there is a price to pay for unjust, false and wrong cases or random reports.
