How do eunuchs lead an honest and clean life?

Eunuch, a well-known ancient occupation, is an official sent by the court in ancient times with castrated genitals and incapacitated, also known as eunuch, eunuch, minister and so on. Generally, children from poor families are sent to the palace under the pressure of life. Then the eunuch we know is not infertile, but the result of post-treatment, which we call "cleaning". So the question is, what was the ancient cleaning procedure?

Eunuch cleaning is a relatively exquisite knowledge, and the craftsmen needed must be particularly skilled. The knife maker is responsible for cleaning eunuchs. His tool is a crescent-shaped knife. The place where the eunuch is castrated is called the clean room. There are cabinets for charging and tools in the clean room, as well as cabinets for storing castrated genitals.

The castrated person will be examined in detail to see if it meets the standard of castration, and then the eunuch who is determined to castrate will have a good rest, eat more and do less, and have a good rest for ten days before castration.

On the day of the operation, they will be asked to tie a red rope on their hands to ward off evil spirits, and they will also prepare an egg and put it in their mouths before the operation. The eunuch will tie his hands and feet and lie on his back on the kang, and the cut place will be disinfected with wine, pepper water and other things in advance. The first step is to cut the testicles. I won't say how to cut it, I only know how to read. The second step is to cut the penis, which is a great test for the skill of the knife maker. When the knife falls, it's over. After something is cut off, it will generally be used as a catheter like a straw, and then ointment will be applied to the wound, waiting for the wound to heal itself.

After the operation, the castrated person needs to rest for about a month. In the meantime, he needs to pay attention to drinking water, defecation and other issues. The wound will heal in nearly fifteen days, and he can move normally after one month.

That's the main procedure for eunuchs to lead a totally clean life.

Eunuch is a representative group in ancient feudal society. They live on the ground floor of the palace and provide convenience for the daily life of the royal family. They have no freedom and lost the rights of normal people, which is very painful.
