1. Literary InquisitionLiterary Inquisition (Chinese: 文字獄 wénzìyù "imprisonment due to writings") refers to official persecution of intellectuals for their writings in Imperial China. Wénzìyù took place under each of the dynasties ruling China, although the Qing was particularly notorious for the practise. Such persecutions could owe even to a single phrase or word which the ruler considered offensive. Some of these owed to the naming taboo.
