Eunuchs are a relatively large group in our country. The main responsibility of the eunuch is the daily life of the emperor and his concubines. In the ancient emperor’s harem there were three thousand beauties, but there was only one emperor, and the emperor had to deal with many government affairs every day. The emperor once favored him. But the concubine is also a human, and she also has seven passions and six desires. As the eunuch who has been with the concubine for the longest time, he naturally has to receive "special care". So now there are many people who want to ask, then where was the eunuch cut? How did they go to the toilet without that thing?
The eunuch cuts off that thing, also called "bath". In fact, the eunuchs need to be locked in a small room and hungry for a few days before they are cleaned. The purpose is for the day of cleansing. There is no excrement to prevent infection. In addition, after cutting, a feather needs to be inserted in that place. One purpose of inserting feathers is to prevent the wound from healing after it is healed. If the wound is healed, then you will have no place to urinate. In addition, this is also for catheterization. After all, the eunuch who does not have that thing, peeing is not under his control. After the cutting is finished, the eunuch needs to drink laxatives. The purpose of this is to reduce the discharge of urine through diarrhea, which can avoid wound infection to a large extent. It is said that if there is no such tube to cause the wound to heal safely, a second cut is required at this time, and then the "surgeon doctor" will suck out the blood in the eunuch, and the picture will be enough for everyone to make up by themselves.
Speaking of this, you must have seen a lot of Gongdou dramas. The eunuch in it often holds a handkerchief in his hand and is often scolded as a smelly eunuch. Do you know why?
In fact, after the eunuch’s treasure is cut off, they are not controlled to pee. Therefore, their urine will often flow onto their pants. Eunuchs with higher status can often change their pants, but those with lower status can't change their pants often. So over time, the peculiar smell cannot be removed, and there is often a smell on the body, so it is called a smelly eunuch.
Of course, what everyone is most curious about is how the eunuchs go to the toilet? Is it squatting or standing? In fact, it is really not easy for eunuchs to go to the toilet. Because their baby was cut off, they couldn't control where to pee. If they were standing, they might splash everywhere. But sometimes they also choose to use a handkerchief to help them. The role of this handkerchief is to divert, so that you can avoid splashing around while standing.
Not only that, it is not easy to become a eunuch. In this process of purification, there are many people who cannot resist. In ancient times, there was no anesthetic, so the eunuch could only resist it when he was cleansed. Not only that, this is also a test of the sword skills of the "surgeon-in-chief doctor". This cannot be cut too deep nor too shallow. If the cut is shallow, the wound will bulge after healing. At this time, you need to "cut two stubbles" and cut again. I think, this kind of pain will be very brave once, no one wants to do it again, right? If the cut is deep, the wound will sink after it heals, and it will become a fan when peeing. Many eunuchs did not endure this kind of pain, so many eunuchs died in this pain, or died of wound infection after cutting. After all, there was no such good anti-inflammatory drug in ancient times. It can be seen that the eunuch is not saying that it should be done right away, and this pain is not something ordinary people can bear.
Before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, most of the eunuchs had all cuts and nothing left during the cutting operation, but in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this aspect was also relatively mature. At this time, the main choice was to remove the testicles and keep the urine. "precious".
In fact, it was not easy to be an eunuch in ancient times. This requires someone to introduce it. In ancient times, most eunuchs were desperate or poor families would choose to be eunuchs. But if you are a better eunuch in the palace, it is still very popular. Many court ministers need to flatter you. In addition, in ancient times, eunuchs were in power. As far as Zhao Gao of Qin Dynasty , as close as Lilianying next to Cixi ,They are all first-class eunuchs.
However, when it comes to unfilial piety, there are three things, and the last is the greatest. After the eunuch was cut, he lost his fertility, which is also ashamed of the ancestors.
