 History of Chinese eunuch  : 

Heartbreaking incident 

The brutal history of impotence in ancient China!

Chinese eunuch process 

Most of powerful kings kept many women in their harems. They were just for fun. Such women are called 'Rakshita'. In ancient China, there were about 20,000 women in the harem. The main reason for reservation is to meet biological** needs . And another important reason is to produce  lot of children. Leaving a greater legacy of royal blood. Ensuring a blind review that the royal family does not become extinct. 

These women were forcibly captured or taken away from their families. So they were kept on guard so that they did not run away or make any trouble inside. Guarding work is not done by women, a man must be the guard. But here there is a problem, the men who remain as guards will not develop a relationship with the women's  again?

Along with creating a legacy of royal blood, there is also the danger of mixing with outside blood. The kings choose a way out of this problem. Destroying the sexual power of the guards. The process of destroying sexual power is called khojakaran ( eunuch)  . Those whose sexual power is destroyed are called 'Khoja' ( eunuch) . Khoja is the synonym of English word Eunuch. The word eunuch is derived from the Greek word eunoukhos, meaning bedroom keeper.

Castration can be basically of three types. 1. Just cutting off the penis; 2. Only spermatozoa cut and 3. Excision of both penis and scrotum. A third type of search was prevalent in ancient China. In this process, both the penis and the testicles were cut off with the help of a very sharp knife. This process was prevalent in China from 1600 BC until the next few thousand years. But the risk in this process is high. Many people died in this process.

In order to reduce the mortality rate, the process of eunuch-making began, leaving only the testicles. 

In the ancient Chinese empire, castration was performed in an isolated place outside the main palace. The royal palace is surrounded by walls. At one of these boundaries, there is an unused guard room, which is not used because it is not needed. Such abandoned houses were used as castration operation rooms.

Castration tools 

First the person was taken to that room and laid on a wooden mat. Then the genitals and the area around the genitals were cleaned with hot and warm water. The genitals were then numbed by applying a numbing agent. At that time, chili paste with strong salt was used as a laxative. After paralyzing, the helpers tied the body tightly to the wooden plank. Then two assistants would hold the two legs apart so that there is no difficulty with the legs while cutting the genitals.

Two people would hold him firmly with both legs, two more people or in some cases one would tie both hands and hold him tight. 

The cutter man  stand between his legs and hold the sperm and penis in his fist. Consent was obtained from the bedridden person by placing the genitals in the fist that he was voluntarily consenting to castration. As soon as the consent was obtained, the testicles and penis inside the fist were cut together with a sharp knife. 

There was a lot of bleeding in this condition. After finishing this step comes the big challenge. Can the patient overcome this shock and be saved him ? A tube was inserted into a urethra immediately after the excision procedure was completed. This tube is inserted so that the urinary tract is not blocked. The tube was much like today's saline pipe, through which urine was discharged.

After completing the necessary procedures, the patient was kept in that room for three days. In this  time the patient was not given any food. If this step was passed, the patient was asked to urinate on the fourth day. If he could urinate, then the operation was considered successful, and if he could not urinate, it was considered that the operation was not successful. In this case, the patient died of pain and infection. However, the ancient Chinese gradually became so skilled at this operation that the death rate in the operation dropped to 1 per thousand.
