In order to become servants of kings and concubines in the palace, the eunuch must go through the process of purifying the body, or cutting off the genitals, which is extremely painful.
According to the Morning Post , Chinese records indicate that men who served in the palace before the Qin Dynasty (before 221 BC) and the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC- 8) were not necessarily eunuchs. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220) onwards, they were forced to cut off their genitalia, becoming eunuchs to avoid having relations with courtesans.
The eunuch's incarnation may be voluntary, fined, tribute, even deceived. Throughout the process of selection, they were forced to settle down to become official eunuch.
In ancient times, there were two places of pure men's surgery: "internal affairs" in the palace and "base of self-centered" outside. Under the Qing Dynasty, "Ti Kidney" is the name given to the specialized section that performs this process.
The teacher is the name of the practitioners. This is a profession of money by the process of extremely painful and very high death rate, requiring high technology.
The main knife used to remove the genital organs made of gold and copper alloy to prevent infection, before using it to ignite the fire to disinfect. In addition, the implementer also incorporates several other types of knives.
The process of purifying the body requires the selection of weather by the ancient medicine is quite poor, has not found effective antiseptic. Therefore, people usually carry out this process in late spring, when the climate is mild and almost no flies.
Before beginning, the lay person and the teacher will have to sign a written statement in the presence of the witness. The commitment will clearly indicate the pure volunteer body, regardless of risk or death after the body. The net fee must also be paid. Most of these people come from poor families, so they have to pay back year after year.
A few days before surgery, the net person should not eat or drink to avoid urinary infections cause infection. When on a surgical bed, the priest does not give an anesthetic to the patient but only cleanses his genitals with hot chili paste.
According to the book "The Life of the Chinese Court," before proceeding to become a eunuch, one of the children would take a chicken egg that had been peeled into his mouth, blocking his throat. The new beginner speaks.
As the genitalia is still able to grow or grow long, the eunuch after the supply will be examined body once a year. This process is called purification. Not many eunuchs smell on the body because the body is not standard, causing the urine to leak out.
Net complete body will not reveal the pharynx, voice dubious, gestures like women. In addition to the dramatic changes in physiology, they are slowly changing psychologically. They lose their sexual instinct, feel their life seems to end, no longer any real meaning.
Therefore, they often live in negative attitudes, even actively abandoning their plans, ideals and motivations. Most of the eunuchs of the past lived through such a lively life. However, once there is a lot of money or some sort of power in hand, they will not live in silence anymore and become greedy, cruel and cruel.
Many people find it difficult to understand the story of eunuchs getting married. However, Japanese scholar Terao Yoshio studied the issue and interpreted it by "the psychological theory of escape from loneliness" in his "eunuch's story".
He said that eunuchs marry to escape the mentality of loneliness, they always suffer from the eyes of contempt of the world, so finding the warmth from the wife is easy to understand.
The "wives" of the eunuchs are mostly female. The palace life is separated from the outside world so only women can be married to the eunuch.
