Where did the eunuchs go after the demise of the Qing Dynasty? Is the big eunuch the same as the ordinary eunuch?

The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in the history of China. Before that, some royal nobles and senior officials hired many eunuchs and handmaids to serve themselves. However, after the overthrow of the last feudal dynasty, these eunuchs were all faced with the problem of displacement, because they were the products left over from feudal society and were not taken seriously in the late Republic of China. And these people are not optimistic and have no good skills. How do they survive? Let's analyze it together.

Eunuch industry in ancient books, there are records about eunuchs from the Qin Dynasty, which can be said to have a long history.

Eunuch, also known as eunuch, refers to a person who has lost fertility, although important parts have been cut off. But it didn't affect their ambitions at all. Here, we have to propose two outstanding figures in the eunuch industry, namely Wang Zhen and Wei Zhongxian. Because of their ordeal, the Ming Dynasty was filthy and was invaded by the Qing Dynasty repeatedly, so that it was finally seized by the Qing Dynasty.

Thanks to the lessons of the Ming Dynasty, although the Qing Dynasty also followed the previous system of "cutting off the reproductive organs" of eunuchs, it strengthened the control of eunuchs' power, mainly to prevent them from interfering in state affairs and ruling in one's hand, but also because of such measures, the eunuch industry did not surpass Wang Zhen and Wei Zhongxian, two outstanding figures.

The early Qing dynasty was also an era of pays photogenic, that is, the prosperous time of Kanggan. These emperors managed the Qing Dynasty well. Not only did the country's land expand, but the amount of food produced by agriculture also increased, which promoted the harmonious development of the country and society and the development of the country.

Although the scenery is temporary, it will still experience disasters, which requires the powerful problem-solving ability of the rulers. If they can't solve the problem, they are likely to decline because of this incident, and the people of the country will also suffer.

The growing Qing dynasty began to think that the emperor did not go to the early dynasty and ignored political affairs, which made many important events delayed without the approval of the emperor. These officials have also started to form a party for personal gain, their discipline is corrupt, their training in the army is not diligent, their equipment is backward, their finances can't make ends meet, their surplus is less and their treasury is increasingly poor, and various unfavorable reasons have aggravated the contradiction between the ruling class and the ruled class.

Not only that, because of the self-righteousness of the Qing dynasty, many foreign advanced technologies have not been seen, and they think that their equipment is no different from their own, but they are just kowtowing. They ignored it, not only refused to introduce it, but also closed their doors to the outside world, which made China seriously lag behind foreign countries at that time.

Then some patriots can't sit back and watch this country, and foreigners also take a fancy to this treasure land of China. The two sides soon entered a state of war. Undoubtedly, the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, and the last emperor in China's history, namely, Emperor Puyi of Xuan Tong, was expelled from Bauhinia City after the founding of New China.

Where did the eunuchs go later? With the expulsion of the last emperor, the eunuchs and handmaids who followed him also faced expulsion, but they were not to blame and there was nothing they could do. Who made them live under the rule of the last emperor, or who told them not to choose another way to make a living?

Although this job can make them worry about food and clothing, it also makes them lose their most basic ability as men, which makes them very uncomfortable. Assuming that they can't have children, some of them choose to become monks in the monk temple. Although you can't eat any delicacies, a basic vegetarian diet can still fill your stomach, so most men choose to become monks, and women naturally choose to become monks.

Of course, in addition to becoming a monk, there are also times when you do well, and when you don't do well, you may go to the bathhouse to wash your feet, or be a driver for others and do odd jobs in brothels. Worst of all, there are beggars in some capitals, begging for food from others.

These are low-level ordinary eunuchs, who can only choose ordinary leaving the palace and choose ordinary life, while those big eunuchs are different. They can usually take advantage of their hierarchical position. Secretly accepting bribes from others, but also stealing a large number of palace cultural relics and precious treasures and selling them.

When they were finally expelled, they had bought many houses, shops and fields in Beijing and Tianjin. Usually they manage their own lives by collecting rent, store rent and land rent. Moreover, some "richest men" have married three wives and four concubines and raised adopted sons to support the elderly. And because their reproductive organs have been cut off, the secretion of androgen is too low, the aging speed is accelerated, and they need the care of others.

Compared with ordinary eunuchs, their lives can be said to be very moist. Of course, there are still a few people who live a rich life, and most of them still bow their heads and live a wandering life.

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace, prosperity will lead to decline", but everything has its ups and downs. How to grasp this process is particularly important. For China now, the demise of the Qing Dynasty is undoubtedly a good thing, but it is cruel to those products left over from the old society, such as eunuchs and handmaids. At first, they just entered the palace to make a living and fill their stomachs, but they suffered the demise of the Qing Dynasty and social reform, leaving them all their lives.

Whether the big eunuch becomes a rich man who collects rent or a eunuch who doesn't mix well, it is a product of the old times and unfair to their lives. However, anyone who wants to experience the washing of the aura of the times must sacrifice and someone must stand up. For eunuchs, they are victims.

Eunuch system is the product of feudal period. It is also the least optimistic product. Eunuchs in Qing Dynasty were the most humble loss groups. Their fate is bumpy. Although they witnessed the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty, they did not enjoy the benefits after the reform. It's really hard.
