Why did the ancient eunuch hold a duster in his hand? What's the role?

In many film and television works, we often see many eunuchs holding dusters. In many martial arts novels, this duster is simply the standard of eunuch's power output, and its power is endless. So is this duster a standard for eunuchs? What's the use of dusters?

What is the original job of dust removal? To know what dust removal is, let's start with the name. China's writing is extensive and profound, which can be read apart. "caressing" is an action, which means patting; "Dust" is dust and dust. When we connect the word "dust" together, we know that it means "dust removal", and the function of dust removal is naturally dust removal.

Convenient dust removal and use. To put it bluntly, eunuchs are royal waiters and porters. The palace is the home of the emperor, but it covers a wider area, has a bigger house and more wives and children. So many people need to have property, because there are too many wives, the general property service is easy to cause misunderstanding, so we can only arrange eunuchs to serve. As a special waiter, eunuchs must have service contents and tools, just like a bartender in a restaurant with a rag on his shoulder. But it is indecent to put a rag on the eunuch's shoulder, and dusting is the most convenient.

Blowing dust is the embodiment of the level of professional titles. There are many eunuchs in the palace. If everyone blows dust once, who else will work?

It is useless to do some rough work often, and dust removal is also in the way. The higher the service level, the higher the status of eunuchs. It must be disgraceful for the big eunuch next to the emperor to ask him to take a rag. At this time, the superiority of powder spraying is reflected. Dust it off if there is a little dust, put it away if there is no dust, and pretend to be cool. This will distinguish the big eunuch from the little eunuch, at least he will be a leader with dust removal.

Blowing dust looks more like fairy wind. Dust blowing appeared as early as the Shang Dynasty, so in our myths and legends, all immortals basically have a Buddha dust, such as Taibai Venus and Taishang Laojun. This kind of dust blowing magic is boundless, and it looks so delicate when shaken. Because immortals use dust, it gives people a feeling of high-end atmosphere. It's not that immortals are better than immortals. So many immortals serve the emperor. What is the level of the emperor? Eunuchs are proud to please clients. Do you really need a hand to blow dust like this?

Therefore, for eunuchs, dust removal is both face-saving and practical, which not only improves their status, but also makes the parties "happy" and gradually becomes the standard for eunuchs.
