Eunuch originally refers to the serving officials in the palace. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, it has gradually become a specific term for the castrated men who serve the emperor and his concubines in the palace. As eunuchs, they have physical characteristics that are different from ordinary people; as eunuchs, they have a special identity that is different from ordinary officials. Moreover, they lived in the palace surrounded by high walls for many years, serving the mysterious and dying emperor all day long, and were isolated to a certain extent from the secular life outside the palace. All this makes eunuchs the most mysterious and strange group of people in the ancient Chinese court.
Reader comments
This book is very informative and made me understand the mysterious life of eunuchs. But I really hate Li Fuguo. For his own power and interests, he used unscrupulous means to treat Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, forcing him to live a miserable life in his later years. It is really abominable! Fortunately, he didn't end well in the end. This book is worth reading and I recommend it to you!
