Who knows the origin of eunuchs?

In ancient times, sexual oppression and exploitation were not only aimed at women, but also at men, and the eunuch system was a great embodiment. Eunuchs are also called eunuchs, officials and eunuchs, that is, men who remain in the palace after their genitals are destroyed and lose their sexual intercourse and reproductive ability. The ancients attached great importance to reproductive organs. From the archaeological excavations in recent decades, it is found that when people are buried, they often wear masks on their heads, while their pudenda are covered with shade-protecting films. This is because the ancients thought that the head and genitals are the two most important parts of the human body and should be protected after death. In ancient times, beheading was the heaviest punishment, and castration (genital mutilation) was the second punishment. Eunuchs were forced to cut off their genitals and serve in the palace (due to poverty or capture, etc.). ), this is of course a kind of sexual oppression. Eunuchs are mostly poor, physically disabled, and do cattle and horses; However, there are also a few eunuchs who have entered the ruling class, abusing power for personal gain and harming the people. Moreover, because physical deformities affect psychological deformities, they are even more insidious and terrible. There are generally two reasons why men are sent to the palace to serve after castration. First, there are thousands of women in Qian Qian in the harem, while men only have the emperor and his descendants. Most concubines and ladies-in-waiting have no or few opportunities to contact with men, thus being in a state of sexual depression and hunger. If there are other men in the harem, there will undoubtedly be great danger; However, there are many errands in the harem that the ladies-in-waiting can't do. Therefore, it seems "safe" for castrated men to serve their sentences in the harem. Second, some emperors think eunuchs are more loyal. As early as the 6th century BC, cyrus the great thought that a eunuch was divorced from his family and could not get married and have children, so he was the most loyal person to his master and the most loyal servant. He said: "When the master encounters misfortune, no one is more loyal than the eunuch." The ancient emperor of China also said, "China people (eunuchs) have no foreign party, and they are good at keeping promises." According to the study of Oracle Bone Inscriptions in the 20th century, eunuchs in China have existed since the Yin Dynasty. There is a word ""on Oracle Bone Inscriptions, which means that the penis has been cut off, and "Qiang" is a minority in the west of Yin Dynasty. This piece of Oracle Bone Inscriptions tells the story of Ding castrating the captured Qiang people in the Yin Dynasty and offering sacrifices to the gods for the officials. This piece of Oracle Bone Inscriptions may be the earliest eunuch record in the world. In ancient China, castration was closely related to castration. Later generations generally believe that castration appeared at least before Xia, and its initial function was to punish improper sexual relations between men and women, that is, "women are immoral and cannot leave the palace;" If the husband commits adultery, it will cut off his potential. " (1) Fu Shengshu said, "Those men and women who don't take honesty as their friends will be punished. "It can be inferred that castration occurs after monogamy, otherwise, there will be no punishment for improper sexual intercourse between men and women. However, under the cruel persecution of slave owners and the feudal ruling class, the scope of castration expanded and became a harsh means of indiscriminate punishment and oppression of the people. When did this expansion begin? At present, it is difficult to find out, but by the late Zhou Muwang, it had been stipulated that "500 castration". In Zhou Li, eunuchs are called eunuchs, nuns and eunuchs. In the Zhou Dynasty, castrated people were called "temple people". Temple consists of "scholar" and "inch", "earth" is the pictograph of male genitalia, and "scholar" mentioned in history books is human; And "inch" is like a hand holding a knife. "Shi" and "Cun" together mean cutting off the penis with a knife.

The use of castration is more and more extensive in later generations. For example, in Liezi Fu Shuo in the Warring States Period, the king of Qin was once advised to govern the country with benevolence and righteousness: the country of Baihutong, and the king of Qin said, "If you govern the country with benevolence and righteousness, you will die." Later, these speakers were sentenced to castration. According to Records of the Historical Records of Qin Shihuang, when Qin Shihuang built Epang Palace and Mount Li, he imprisoned more than 700,000 people for hard labor. The "hidden palace" here refers to castration, which shows how many people are imprisoned! Castration was more common in the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stipulated that some death sentences could be replaced by castration. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was cruel by nature. When he was in office, officials recorded Sima Qian, Zhang He, Li Yannian and others. Sima Qian defended Li Ling, who surrendered to the Huns at that time, only because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty told the truth when asking for his advice. "It is a waste to move to the upper level. I want to curse the two handsome men, lobby for the mausoleum, and move to the lower level for greed." That is, Sima Qian was castrated. Zhang He was lucky enough to keep the prince, and the prince was defeated. Zhang He was also imprisoned. Zhao Di, the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, also issued an imperial edict: "Anyone who desperately conspires against the rebellion will have a sericulture room." "Silkworm house" is the place where castration is carried out, which legally expands the scope of castration. Although castration has evolved into a means of political persecution, it still has a certain connection with sex, that is, it makes the prisoners lose their sexual ability and thus lose their children and grandchildren. This is indeed a very severe punishment in a feudal society that attaches great importance to children and future generations. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was stipulated that castration was only applicable to the vast number of slaves and ordinary civilians, not to the slave owners and nobles, that is, the so-called "citizens did not castrate and did not cut classes". And ... ""Don't cut its kind "is to save their offspring, which shows that cutting off offspring is the main purpose of castration, and also shows how the ruling group protects its own interests. In addition, castration has the purpose of destroying the victim's body and spirit, making the victim humiliated for life, and life is worse than death. For example, Sima Qian is a strong-willed and ambitious man, but every time he thinks about the shame of being imprisoned, he still sweats and wants to "commit suicide" and doesn't want to live any longer. The cruelty of castration will certainly arouse the opposition of many progressives. By the time the Sui Dynasty was established, although castration was officially abolished, it was not seen in the criminal system of subsequent dynasties. However, until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, some emperors and some nobles still practiced it at will. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, stipulated many strict laws in his Da Gao, among which castration was the content of slavery. In the ninth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, Qinshen Temple was built in Nanjing Palace. Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he wanted to castrate all these 2000 craftsmen. Fortunately, some people tried their best to stop it, which saved these craftsmen from tragic accidents. We can also see how feudal rulers used castration at will. In the Ming Dynasty, not only the imperial court used castration, but also some senior generals abused their powers. According to Wanli Wild Collection, when they were in Ming Yingzong, Wang Ji and Jing Yuanbo castrated folk children as slaves during the campaign, but Ming Yingzong did not intervene after learning about it, which shows that this practice was allowed at that time. The above castration is forced by violence.

However, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, some people voluntarily "lead an honest and clean life", that is, they voluntarily castrated as eunuchs, mainly because of poverty. For example, Sun, the last eunuch in China, lived to the 1990s. Born in the 28th year of Guangxu (AD 1902) on November 30th. He is from Jinghai County, Hebei Province. His family was poor, and his father and eldest brother were arrested and imprisoned for being framed by local tyrants and bullies. The whole family was forced to exile, and it was impossible to survive. In this case, Sun took the initiative to "lead an honest and clean life" and entered the palace, thinking that there was still hope of revenge. At a young age, he said that if he was not allowed to do so, he would not live. In the 1960s, some experts in literature and history in Beijing gathered 15 old eunuchs for a discussion, and they talked about this: Ren Futian said, "In those years, Qingxian, Jinghai, Cangzhou, Renqiu, Hejian, Nanpi, Zhuoxian, Zaoqiang, Jiaohe, Dacheng, Eight Counties, Wen 'an, Qingyun, Hebei Province. Ma Deqing said: "I am from Yaozikou, Jinqing County, Tianjin South. My father sells plasters and my mother is the daughter of a poor family. It is enough to describe my home with' no room, no land and no food'. " Being a eunuch is really' promising'. It is difficult to choose one in a thousand, but people always look into the light! I have an aunt. She has a distant nephew named Li Yuting. Li Yuting's father was poor, too, but after Li Yuting became a eunuch, after more than ten years, his family became rich, bought land and tied several big mules. My father often mentioned this Li family, and he cruelly put me on the old road. Chi said: "Apart from the poor being forced by life to send their children to the palace to be eunuchs, there are several ways for eunuchs to come: one is that villains kidnap other people's children for a sum of money; The second rule is that people who specialize in castration cheat the poor, talk about the benefits of being eunuchs and encourage them to send their children to the palace. Some people have committed a felony and used' chastity' to escape punishment. This is another one. Thousands of people have been sent to the road of despair without children and daughters, and most of them are children of poor families. " The destruction of castration is very cruel. The practice of forced castration (such as prisoners) is very simple and barbaric, and of course the mortality rate is high. According to Chen Yuan Miscellaneous Knowledge, eunuchs who voluntarily "lead an honest and clean life" must be quoted by eunuchs with positions, and then set up a "voluntary castration book" in front of witnesses. You can invite eunuchs to make preparations before the operation and choose an auspicious day. First of all, "lead a clean life" requires cleaning up the urine and urine, and then the room must be closed, so that "lead a clean life" can be carried out. During the three or four days of confinement, you must not eat, so as not to pollute the wound with discharged dirt after operation, which will worsen the operation and endanger your life. During the formal castration, the "clean man" was stripped of his underwear, blindfolded, and his hands and feet were tied tightly. Some people pressed his head and waist to prevent him from bleeding to death due to extreme pain. Before the operation, the castrator will ask him if he wants to do it voluntarily. If he regrets now, it's not too late. Only after you get a very positive answer can you move the knife. "Wandering Tales" said that castration should be anesthetized with spirits, so that "clean" people get drunk and feel no pain, and the genitals are coated with medicated oil, which also has anesthetic effect. When everything is ready, use a sharp knife to cut along the root ring of the penis. The depth needs to be very particular, especially in the lower part of the penis and near the testicles, because there are many tendons here, which are extremely deadly. After incision, the corpus cavernosum was taken out, leaving only two tubes in the whole stem, one is ureter and the other is vas deferens. The vas deferens should be coiled and inserted into the body, and the ureter should be cut off. Apply hemostatic drugs immediately after penis resection, and do not eat or drink for four or five days after operation, and it will not be windy for half a month. About a month after the operation, the scab closed and there was only one hole in the vulva. 1870, a British official named Steed interviewed in Beijing and memorized the method of castration in detail. He said that the place where the operation was performed was a humble hut called the factory, which was located outside the Xihua Gate of the Forbidden City. There are several swordsmen in it. They have no fixed salary, but they are experts recognized by the government. Their occupation is castration, and the cost of surgery is six taels of silver per person, which is responsible for thorough cure. However, most of the "clean people" are poor. Many people can't pay cash in advance and need a guarantor. The operation fee can be paid later. Another way is to destroy the function from an early age. If parents decide that their son wants to be a eunuch when he grows up, a "special" maid will often knead the baby's testicles in a special way, destroying his sexual function and gradually shrinking his genitals. With the increase of age, women gradually show the characteristics of no Adam's apple, prominent breasts, raised buttocks, sharp voice and twisted waist, thus showing a typical eunuch appearance. A castrated penis is called a baby. In China, castrated people attach great importance to "babies" because "parents who suffer from body and skin cannot be damaged". After castration, the "baby" should also be properly handled. Generally, there are three ways to put it: one is to put it in a wooden box and hang it on the beam to imply "promotion", which is also a main purpose pursued by castration. The second is to send it to the family shrine, because the body was given by the ancestors, and after being cut off, it will still be offered to the ancestors. Third, it is kept by the knife maker, and the eunuch redeems it with silver after entering the palace to make a fortune. But in any case, after the eunuch's death, he must do everything possible to sew the "baby" between his hips and bury it together, so that he can "die" like a real man. Otherwise, he will be ashamed to see his ancestors, and Yan Luowang will punish himself as a mule and horse in the afterlife. However, it has been decades since eunuchs were castrated at the end of their lives, and some "treasures" have been lost for various reasons, so they will make a ceramic or porcelain penis to be buried with them. "Wearing a gray robe and black pants, I leaned forward like a maid and walked step by step. My voice was thinner than that of a woman, and my skin was gorgeous. From time to time, I put my hands between my legs and looked up at people. This is China's eunuch.

The above is the description of eunuch China's appearance by the Englishman Sting.

Eunuchs are not only physically deformed, but also psychologically different from ordinary people. They are moody, suspicious, inferior and exclusive, and eunuchs "hold a group." They are sensitive to directly or indirectly alluding to things that are "lacking", so if they sit with eunuchs and see cats and dogs with no tails or their tails cut short, they will say "deer-tailed dogs" obliquely; If you see a teapot without a handle, you should keep quiet; We should avoid using words such as "cut", "chop" and "cut" and use other words instead. They also have a big taboo, that is, don't let others see their private parts, otherwise, they think it is a great insult. In Beijing, there is a dedicated hutong, where eunuchs live after work. There are barber shops, tailor shops, smoking rooms (almost all eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty smoked opium) and baths. The customers in this bath are eunuchs, even the guys in the bath are castrated. This is because eunuchs never want non-similar people to see their private parts. Generally speaking, castration of eunuchs is forced, which is a kind of sexual oppression and exploitation. However, after being favored by the emperor, very few eunuchs entered the ruling group, and their role status changed, from the oppressed to the oppressor. Eunuchs, as unofficial officials, are not allowed to interfere in political affairs, but some of them are favored because of their close relationship with the emperor and queen, and the supreme ruler sometimes discusses state affairs with them; In the power struggle within the feudal ruling group, when the emperor or some nobles feel weak, they often use the power of some eunuchs to overcome the crisis. Therefore, in the history of China, eunuchs often formed a political force, which not only affected the emperor's life, but also determined the fate of the country. There are many loyal officials among eunuchs, but there are also many despicable people who are servile, ambitious, scheming, evil and even chaotic. It is obvious that eunuchs stepped onto the political stage in Han and Tang Dynasties. There are some famous examples, such as the Western Han Dynasty when Lv Hou came to power and became the first eunuch to be knighted. When Xuan Di proclaimed himself emperor, he held real power and formed a eunuch group, such as Shixian and Gong Hong. Gui Li and others are surrounded by Andy's conspiracy activities. There was Gao Lishi in the Tang Dynasty, who was very prized by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Li, who launched a palace coup in Su Zong and Dai Zong, became the first eunuch prime minister in China history; There are also Wang Shoucheng who killed Xianzong and Qiu who caused the "Ganlu Change". However, in the history of China, the most powerful eunuch was the Ming Dynasty. The abuse of officials in the Ming Dynasty was characterized by eunuch miscellaneous. The former eunuchs only did harm in the palace, while the Ming eunuchs went deep into every corner of society, directly endangering society, poisoning the people with tea, and plunging the country into a land of eternal ruin. As the founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, knew the eunuch dictatorship in Han and Tang Dynasties, so he took measures to suppress eunuchs. There were less than 100 eunuchs in the early Ming dynasty, and then gradually increased. In order to prevent the eunuchs from colluding with the outside world, Zhu Yuanzhang banned the local officials of the imperial court from communicating with eunuchs in his official documents, and stipulated that "the internal prison does not know the universe", and even hung an iron plate at the palace gate of the imperial palace, engraved with the words "the internal minister shall not interfere in political affairs, and offenders will be beheaded". However, only a few years after Ming Taizu's death, all his efforts were in vain. Finally, eunuch Liu Jin dismantled the iron plate. Only one year after Ming Taizu's death, political upheaval took place. His younger brother Judy, the prince of Yan, rose up, overthrew Ming Taizu's grandson Wenjian, and moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing for Emperor Yongle. After Judy ascended the throne, she found that there were many opposing forces in the imperial court and at home. In the 18th year of Yongle (A.D. 1420), a secret police agency named "Dongchang" was established, which was controlled by eunuchs. Since then, the eunuch's power has been greatly expanded. After Emperor Yongle, there were constant internal disputes in the imperial court, and the regime was extremely unstable. In this case, the eunuch's power was further expanded and became a hot political force that could even decide the fate of the country. During this period, the main crimes of eunuchs were extortion and bribery, and plundering people's wealth. For example, after the death of Ming Yingzong eunuch Wang Zhen, his property was confiscated, including more than 60 boxes of gold and silver and more than 20 corals. Liu Jin took more bribes, and local officials worshiped and demanded thousands of dollars, some as much as four or five thousand dollars, and local officials needed to give bribes of 20 thousand dollars. Later, Liu Jin's property was confiscated. Only gold had120,000 taels, and countless other jewels. In order to gain the trust of the emperor, these eunuchs lured the emperor to indulge in debauchery to facilitate them to fish in troubled waters, which is another crime of theirs. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, a eunuch named Jiang Bin was born in Fu Xuan, north of the Great Wall in Wan Li. He often told Wu Zong that Fu Xuan had many musicians and beautiful women, secretly took Wu Zong to Fu Xuan, and also searched for commoners outside, which made him indulge in debauchery and ignore state affairs. Liu Jin, the eunuch who induced Wu Zong to fall to the extreme, joined hands with seven other eunuchs to do evil and destroy life, and was called "eight tigers" by the world. He recommended eagles, dogs, women and wrestling to Wu Zong, so that the emperor ignored the affairs of state affairs. The emperor decides state affairs by himself and exercises the power to manage the world. But because he was illiterate, he took the court documents home, consulted his brother-in-law and confidant, and then wrote a batch of answers. Finally, he gave them to his demoted college classmates and became his secretary, correcting their vulgar and poor sentences. The third is to harm Zhongliang to further control the state affairs. For example, during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, a eunuch named Yao was captured and castrated in the war and went to Beijing as an internal reference. His clever spirit won the favor of Wan Guifei and Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, so he used this favor to set up another secret police agency, West Factory, to compete with East Factory for power and profit. He used a kind of torture called "playing the pipa" to frame courtiers, for one thing, to exclude dissidents, and for another, to strengthen his prestige. This kind of torture is to cut off the ribs of a living person with a sharp knife. The Ming History recorded this punishment, saying, "Those who play the piano were also tortured by Jin. The joints have been solved and resurrected. " In order to lie about the meritorious military service, they constantly provoked foreign aggression, which plunged the border defense military affairs into extreme chaos. What is more serious is Wei Zhongxian when Zhu Youxiao was in power. He was a scoundrel when he was young. Forced by gamblers, he was elected to the palace in Wanli years. After entering the palace, I had an affair with the wet nurse Hakka of Zhu Youxiao, the grandson of the emperor at that time, which may be a kind of "food for food" relationship, that is, I became husband and wife without sexual intercourse to console myself. Hakka is a person who has deep feelings for Zhu Youxiao. When Zhu Youxiao became emperor, the first thing she did was to make her a saint. Because of the Hakkas, Wei Zhongxian is also valued step by step. Soon after Xizong ascended the throne, he was made a eunuch, and soon he was put in charge of the "East Factory", which was immediately hot. After Wei Zhongxian took office, he often revised the central tenet, hurting officials or officials, and engaged in party struggles with Lindong Party, which opposed him. At that time, some intolerable courtiers and thieves took refuge in Wei Zhongxian and became Wei's "adopted son". Their party members include "Five Tigers", "Five Tigers" and "Ten Dogs", and they formed a party to attack Lin Dong. Later, they falsely killed a number of upright ministers, such as Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, and tortured those who dared to disagree with Wei Dang, making the court a good class. He and the Hakkas killed Zhao, the servant of Xizong, in the harem, imprisoned Zhang, Jade's concubine, in another palace, and then killed him. They are very arrogant. At the same time, he also launched the "East Factory" agents to strengthen control over the people. Whenever someone heard someone talking about state affairs and the Wei Party, he killed them, making spies run amok for a while, leaving everyone in danger. Later, Wei Zhongxian was made a Lord, and he was arrogant. Those who flatter him call him "nine thousand years old", while others call him "nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine", which is only one year away from "Long live". There are also shrines for him everywhere, which can be described as "one person gets the word, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven", and even the infant children in the clan are given official positions and titles. The perverse actions of Wei Zhongxian and his followers made the decadent Ming Dynasty even more shaky, which is the "Apocalypse Rebellion" recorded in history. Later, in August of the 7th year of Wuqi (A.D. 1627), Xizong died, and Emperor Zhu Youjian of Chongzhen ascended the throne. 1 1 month declared Wei Zhongxian guilty, forced him to hang himself, and was later slaughtered. /kloc-In October/February, the Hakkas were brought into Huan Yi Bureau and killed alive. Later, the Wei Party was investigated and sentenced to Grade 6. Although this disaster has been eliminated, the Ming Dynasty is exhausted and terminally ill, and will soon perish. There is another strange phenomenon about eunuchs, that is, "the official temple announces adultery."

According to historical records, many eunuchs have married wives.

For example, Gao Lishi, the eunuch in the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was surprised by the beauty of Lu, the daughter of the knife and pen officer, and married her. Li, the eunuch who was in power at that time, married his daughter, so he became the secretariat of Liangzhou. After Wang Yan, the son of Wang Jian, the Lord of Shu five generations ago, inherited the throne, he had an affair with the wife of a eunuch named Wang Chengxiu, who became an envoy of heaven. Therefore, "The Story of Liu Yuchuan in the Later Han Dynasty" said: "Always serve the Yellow Gate and marry widely". The fornication of eunuchs in the imperial court is also a history book. The earliest Book of Songs, Xiaoya Xiang Bo, has a sigh of "Flying Jinbei". "Biography of Mao" says: "Everything happens for a reason. You tell yourself to avoid suspicion and not to judge." Take Yan and Lu Nanzi as examples. "Zheng Zhu" says: "The people in this temple are not respected by the potential palace." In other words, officials have improper sex with maids in the palace. For another example, Li Yannian of the Han Dynasty, on the one hand, was Toy Boy of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, on the other hand, committed adultery with maids. As Biography of Historical Records said, "Li Yannian sat in a corrupt way ... and lay down with him, and his property was like that of Han Yan. For a long time, I slept in chaos. How eunuchs still have sexual ability is a mystery to modern people. Generally speaking, some eunuchs still have sexual desire and certain sexual intercourse ability for various reasons. It may be because the castration is not complete, or there is a phenomenon of "regrowth" after castration. Some eunuchs try their best to "restore the penis" after they become dignitaries, but how this method works is unknown. In addition, although some eunuchs have no sexual intercourse ability, their instinctive sexual desire psychology still exists, that is, "the lame do not forget their deeds, the dumb do not forget their words, the deaf prefer listening, and the blind prefer peeping." "In the same way, eunuchs may also prefer lust to declare their sexual orientation. Even if they completely lose their sexual intercourse ability, they may play with women through masturbation, oral sex, tools and so on, and even sexually abuse women to vent their sexual desire. Luan Ba, an official in the later Han Dynasty, was the first man recorded in the history of China to have a rooster again. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was reported to the emperor that although eunuchs had been castrated, in many cases, the cut penis would grow to the length that needed to be castrated again, and there was a scandal between eunuchs and concubines in the Ming Dynasty. It was suggested that all eunuchs in the palace should be inspected immediately, and eunuchs with some penises should be "mowed and uprooted" again. As a result, many eunuchs were forced to undergo another inhuman operation, and some people died. For eunuchs, the residual sexual ability plus abnormal sexual psychology, plus power, will do many heinous bad things. For example, the articles "Distinguishing the Night Fire" and "Xuan Yin in the Official Temple" said: Yun Chang was a native of Ninghai, Zhejiang Province, and was promoted to Jinshi, guarding the whole affairs for Yuzhou. He was sad to hear the crying, but he knew that his daughter died because of a eunuch's rape, and because of this news, he arrested an official to make amends. This is Hongwu's last year.

At the beginning of Jingtai in Yuan Dynasty, Xu Gui, the right-wing general of Datong, played: "Defending Shao Shi, supervising Wei Li, hating his wife in the army for not following the traitors, and being killed with a stick in the army. He also played with his adopted son's wife and shot him. " According to hints and smells.

In the first year of Yuanshun, Huo, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, played again: "I will try my best to make every banquet a prostitute and then marry all my women as concubines."

If you are angry, send someone to hug you.

All of the above happened in the Ming Dynasty. Eunuchs not only rape women, but also take their wives and kill their husbands, which not only shows that they are bossy and lawless, but also shows that they are passionate and may have certain sexual ability. The article "Xuan Yin in the Official Hall" in "Discrimination of Wildfire" also records that some eunuchs who have completely lost their sexual ability also want to play with women, which has the nature of sexual abuse and destruction. For example, in recent days, a castrated person is more stubborn than a vertical one, and singing Gu Dao in a small range with a dildo will swell to death. The judge decided to pay for it. What's wrong with the world?

"Little Singing" is a child prostitute. The eunuch stuffed a dildo into the poor little girl's anus (that is, "Gu Dao") and killed her alive. This terrible thing was not unique in ancient times. Terrible things don't stop there. Some eunuchs in power enjoy all the wealth in the world, but regret that they can't keep their daughters, so they try their best to restore their sexual ability and do anything for it. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, a eunuch named Gao Ce went to Fujian to collect taxes and collect people. In order to restore sexual ability, he actually listened to the charlatan's so-called "boy's brain is effective", killed countless children and ate their brains, so that "the loss of children in all directions is not counted." It is reported that Wei Zhongxian once killed seven prisoners and ate their brains, which is really terrible! Everything in the Qing dynasty inherited the system of the Ming dynasty, but what eunuchs did was contrary to the Ming dynasty, and the control was very strict. For example, eunuchs intervene in beheading politicians, and those who leave Beijing are beheaded. However, the activity of eunuchs is always in direct proportion to the decline of a dynasty and the chaos of society. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, eunuchs began to make waves again. When Empress Dowager Cixi listened to politics, eunuch An Dehai was arrogant and did many bad things, extorting money and committing all kinds of evils. On one occasion, when he arrived in Shandong, he plundered the people's wealth and paste, and was framed by Ding Bao, the governor of Shandong, as "ancestors were not allowed to leave Beijing and were imprisoned". This one will pretend to be a eunuch and be arrested on the spot. Cixi had no time to save him and had nothing to say. According to unofficial history's records, at the time of autopsy, it was found that Andrew Hirsch (1) was "wild catching" and "cannibalism". However, with the penis, the skeleton was replaced by the bodies of other eunuchs to cover up the ugliness of Cixi, so Cixi later not only did not blame Ding, but promoted to an official position. Later, Cixi doted on eunuch Li. He was in power and colluded with Yuan Shikai to undermine the "Reform Movement of 1898", which added fuel to the fire and had a very bad influence. It is said that he was castrated and someone gave him an aphrodisiac such as sea kidney. He has wives and children outside the palace, but on the surface, they are all adopted. Later, the eunuch was favored by Cixi and became her confidant. He is so powerful that many ministers become sworn brothers with him. After Yulong died, he retired from the palace. He first lived in a luxurious mansion built by himself in Yongkang Hutong, Beijing, and lived a rich life. Later, I moved to the British Concession in Tianjin and married several wives. Once, one of his little wives couldn't stand his destruction, and went to the patrol room in Dajin British Concession to cry for help, complaining that she was often tortured by petty beatings and bribing the patrol room to take the woman back. The fate of re-entering the tiger's mouth can be imagined. Fortunately, this page in history has been turned over forever.
