The identity of the eunuch was very special in ancient times, and it was also very mysterious, people who had not entered the palace could not know what the life of the eunuch was like, and there were many rules, if they were violated, they might be in danger of their lives.
Everyone has always thought that eunuchs are pure, because the emperor will let the eunuchs purify themselves in order to prevent the eunuchs from having too much contact with the palace maids, but in fact, are there really eunuchs who are not completely purified? Or is there something else?
If you are interested in this topic, then look down with me and unravel this mystery together.
Why do eunuchs cleanse themselves?
Since ancient times, eunuchs have been very mysterious to ordinary people, their lives are completely different from ordinary people, and they can have access to a lot of secrets, so in ancient times, there were many people who wanted to be eunuchs.
Why should the eunuch purify himself, I believe that many people will feel that this should be so that there is no excessive contact between the eunuch and the palace maid, after all, the eunuch can enter the palace maid's courtyard at any time, if they have other purposes, then it is easy to do something unfavorable to the emperor.
In ancient times, there were also many eunuchs who had an affair with the palace maid, and were finally discovered, and they would be executed in the end, so in order to prevent these things from happening, the emperor would stipulate that anyone who wanted to be a eunuch must be purified, so that these things could be completely avoided.
Why did the palace maid know this secret?
In the ancient court, the status of the palace maids was very low, they did not have any right to speak, and they had to obey all the arrangements of the eunuchs, so in the court, the palace maids had no privileges, and it was impossible to know what the eunuchs' lives were like.
Among so many palace maids, there are also some palace maids who have a good relationship with eunuchs, and they will also have some special treatment, so in the eyes of these palace maids, they can see a lot of things and know a lot of secrets.
There are also many people who want to know about the life of eunuchs, so they will choose to find some palace maids, wanting to learn some secrets of eunuchs through the mouths of palace maids.
The palace maid also hopes that in this way, in exchange for some benefits, so in the ancient court, the palace maid can know some secrets of the eunuchs, and these secrets, sometimes, will allow them to get some benefits.
Is the eunuch's purification really incomplete?
It is true that there are many people who feel that the eunuch's purification is incomplete, because they can enter the courtyard of the palace maid at any time, and they can also do some hands and feet on the body of the palace maid, so many people think that there may be some eunuchs who can hide their genitals.
There are also some rumors about eunuchs, that is, the reason why eunuchs can sing high tones is not because they have undergone any surgery, but because they did not completely lose their genitals when they were cleansed, so they have such a voice.
In some ancient documents, there are also some such things, so many people think that maybe the eunuch's purification is really problematic, and maybe some eunuchs can indeed hide their genitals.
In fact, for such a thing, I believe that people today cannot verify it, because people nowadays have no way to enter the palace, and they can't understand some rules at that time.
However, whether there are really eunuchs who are not completely purified, I believe everyone is very curious, after all, such a thing, in the current view, is indeed very mysterious and very bizarre.
