No one knows more about corpses than me! If you don't believe me, come and see! (Hardcore version)

No one knows more about corpses than me! If you don't believe me, come and see! (Hardcore version)

In the pre-Qin period, there were people who specialized in autopsies in my country, called "Lingshi", who were considered the earliest forensic doctors in the world. Lingshi examined injuries and diseases in criminal cases during the Qin Dynasty, so they can be considered the predecessors of modern criminal police, inspectors, forensic doctors, and trace examiners.

In the Song Dynasty, this type of technician, similar to modern forensic doctors, was officially called "軵作" or "行人", also known as "团头". Their female counterparts were called "坐婆" or "溫婆", etc., and they were mainly responsible for examining women's lower bodies.

Song Ci is considered to be the most accomplished forensic doctor in ancient times. During his tenure, he accumulated a wealth of experience and conducted detailed research on pharmacy, medicine, toxicology, etc. He eventually compiled "Xi Yuan Ji Lu", which became a guide for judicial officials and inspectors of the Song Dynasty and later generations to learn forensic knowledge and conduct inspections.

Of course, with the continuous advancement of science, today's testing methods are already quite rich and accurate. Traces, blood, X-rays, DNA, fingerprints, etc., combined with modern instruments, can be used to reveal the cause of death and find the real culprit, bringing the criminal to justice.

The ages pass by, the stars move and the constellations change, but no matter how time changes, those who have revealed the truth to the world deserve our deepest respect.
