1. kia quen

   The jiagun ( 夾棍) ankle crusher was a Chinese instrument of torture consisting of three wooden boards approximately a yard in length that were connected with cords, which when placed around a suspect's feet and gradually pulled, caused agonizing pain in order to force a confession. Under traditional Chinese law, a person could not be convicted of a crime unless they confessed. The jiagun was a legal and non-lethal method for torturing men to confess, and for women there was the similar and less painful zanzhi finger crusher with small sticks and cords.

1. kia quen

   It appears that "kia quen" may not be a standard English term or phrase. It could possibly be a misspelling or a translation from another language. Without more context, it's difficult to provide a precise definition. If it's related to the car manufacturer "Kia", it could be a specific model or version of their cars. However, if "Kia quen" is from another language, it would be best to refer to a dictionary or translation tool that specializes in that language for an accurate definition.

1. Kia quen

   In the 17th Century, jiá gùn 夾棍 was reportedly a technique used in China for the interrogation of male suspects without putting their lives in danger. The technique consisted of positioning three wooden or bamboo boards, connected by rope, around and between the suspect's bare feet. The construction of the device enabled the boards to be either snapped open and closed or gradually tightened. Each time the prisoner refused to testify or confess, the rope was pulled smartly and the boards either whacked sharply at the ankles or slowly squeezed the feet ever more tightly. A similar device called the Tean zu, applied exclusively to women, employed essentially identical mechanics to squeeze and crush the finger-bones. The torture was typically conducted while the prisoner was forced to painfully kneel on top of folded chains made of sharpened iron links.
