3 reasons why eunuchs have no place to be

While many Asian feudal nations existed with eunuchs, this eunuch is absent from the ancient Japanese palace.

Over thousands of years of feudalism, eunuchs and eunuchs that existed in ancient China are often condemned and condemned by people.

But it is undeniable that the eunuchs play a very important role in ancient Chinese history, especially for court life.

Although the background is not high, but this class has appeared characters who hold the power "under one person, over ten thousand people" , causing many internal chaos within the main government, even becoming oligarchs. the transformation of a whole dynasty.

Speaking of Asian countries, it is not difficult to see that Japan is a country with many similarities with China in terms of history and culture. But the strange thing is that, when so many feudal states exist in the eunuch state, the ancient imperial palace of Japan did not have a shadow.

So what is the reason why the eunuchs and eunuchs don't have doors in ancient Tang Tang?

Cause explains the appearance of eunuchs in history

The eunuchs and eunuchs appeared very early in Chinese history and are still maintained until the last feudal dynasty in this country.(Illustration).

In Chinese feudal society in particular, Emperor power was placed in the supreme position. In order to maintain the royal artery, the ancient kings often possessed a harem with a large supply of frequency and aesthetics.

These women are considered to be the emperor's men and absolutely not allowed to communicate with other men.

In order to ensure the purity of the archers, the harem often recruited a large number of women to serve as servants.

But because of the limitations of physical and health factors, the female supply is only suitable for handling errands, but the activities in the palace, which have a multitude of jobs, need heavy manual labor.

The person who is in charge of the most appropriate job can only be a man. But to ensure the purity of the palace, the men who wanted to work here had to undergo a " castration " (castration) that lost their normal sexual ability.

This is one of the main causes of the emergence of a special class of eunuchs in the historical arena.

Why is the imperial palace of Japan absent from eunuchs and eunuchs?

The appearance of eunuchs is considered to be a solution to solving many demands in the royal palace.

So why didn't the old Japanese court have this class? The main reason comes from 3 reasons below:

First, the need to use eunuchs is not high

Except for Vo Tac Thien, the ancient Chinese emperors were all male. But in ancient Japan, out of 125 Emperor's terms, there were 8 women.

The harem of the female Emperor is of course male. Therefore the use of eunuchs is not necessary.

Moreover, even with the emperors who are male, their harem has very few female supply bands, many are 10 people, even only 2.3 people. This number, if compared with the Chinese imperial palace, is indeed far behind.

But this is also the reason why the jobs in the Japanese harem are not much, so the number of servants also does not need to be too high.

As noted by historical documents, the servant in the Japanese royal palace when most of the time were mostly specially designated objects and came from noble families.

Second, the management mode is high

The Chinese regime of eunuchs seems to be very simple, but in fact it has taken centuries to complete.

Only the misconduct of the eunuchs' behaviors must also be drawn from the experience drawn from many bloody lessons in the history of dynasties.

Regulations and norms for this class over the years have also become extremely complicated and strict.

For example, the selection of eunuchs, periodic body inspections, preservation and return of casters . must be clearly defined.

In addition, eunuchs are said to be incapacitated and forced to rely on the nurturing of the court. This forced the royalties to spend a lot of money for this number of manpower.

Therefore, if there is no need to use eunuchs, the Japanese imperial palace also has no need to waste, lose, spend money to think of a series of laws for eunuch and pay many expenses for they.

Third, medical technology is not enough to meet

Regardless of the era, the "castration" technique is a type of medical surgery that requires a high level of expertise.

Ancient Chinese medicine used to have the medicine of Hoa Da invented anesthetic and perfection of animal castration techniques, so the new "door" eunuch appeared. However, the failure rate in this process in the old days was still very high.

Meanwhile, Japan until the 18th century learned the technique of horse castration from China. Moreover, in this country at that time, only government-designated agencies were eligible to perform this surgery successfully.

Therefore, medical backwardness was also one of the reasons why the eunuch regime did not appear in the land of Fusang.
