Cruel emasculation of the entire process of the ancient

In ancient China, the castration surgery is a very ancient history. There is evidence that the latest in the Shang dynasty, there were a castrated male genital consciousness and behavior. At that time of castration surgery may be removed along with the penis and testicles, the Qin and Han periods of castration technology has been relatively complete, and has taken note of the wind, after castration, keeping warm and resting measures such as nursing. Implementation of castration was a place called "Jamsil",
 "Han ZHANG Shi Zhuan" "Yan Shigu" Comment: "All those who raise silkworms must be warm because as it should be placed in the chamber furnace. Emasculated the risk of being subjected to cold people need to be safe behind closed doors, so called Jamsil. "found in roughly the same interpretation of" post-Han Kuang-wu Ji "" Lee Hyun "comment, so-called" fear of being emasculated people wind, the need to protect warm place behind closed doors just like stove Jamsil, it can be called this name.

Castration in ancient times, there are two broad ways: First, "all the amputation of his penis," that is razor-like metal utensils will be completely male genital mutilation. "Old Tang An Lushan Biography" had recorded a castrated examples:

"Zhu Er" from the Khitan tribe, serving "(An) Lu Shan," 10 years, very clever. "Lushan" hold edge all the amputation of his penis, blood flow a few liters, will die. "Lushan" the ashes sprinkled on top, a few days after the wake.

It can be seen, castration process is very cruel, who has been castrated because of excessive bleeding, pain or too long coma, bleeding anti-inflammatory measures are also very simple, just "put the ashes sprinkled on top."

Second, with a sharp knife slit the scrotum, stripping out the testicles. To use this method obviously does not need to fully castrated genital mutilation, but can also achieve their goals. "Mai" written by "Yi Jian Zhi" Juanba of this approach has been documented. According to records, the ancient so-called "rope-line" and "kneading Act." The former is a young boy, when, with a hemp rope from the genitals of "testicles," the roots of the Department of death will not affect the pee, but it hindered the normal development of the genitals. Over time, the boy's genitals will lose functionality. The latter is a young boy, by the very proficient in this area on a daily basis gently kneading his testicles, gradually adapting to a post, and then increase the Shoujin, until testicular crumb. However, the post-secondary amputation or crush the testicles, if the person is already developed, even though fertilization can be completely avoided, but the desire and ability to promiscuous court will still have a certain period of time, and even some people will be even stronger anti - Durable. Therefore, the ancient eunuch are based on "full amputation of penis" approach, will all genital mutilation.

In ancient medical technology is relatively backward conditions, castration surgery mortality rate is very high. Ming Tianshun years, the eunuchs guarding Huguang Guizhou, "Nguyen let", a selection of the 1565 Prize of the Hmong children who were all emasculated them to prepare a submission in full court. However, as medical technology, surgical conditions are too harsh and too poor for the self-castration in the Nguyen children to Zouwen court a short time, the children Tengsi, were as high as 329 people die of the disease. Later, Nguyen so again to buy a large number of young children should be castrated in order to fill the number of death, Submission of the court. "Nguyen let" total emasculation of young children before and after the 1894 people, with fatality rates approaching 20%. Such a concentrated and a large number of deaths, is clearly associated with castration surgery has failed or complications after surgery.

Ancient classics on the specific circumstances of castration has been documented in general is very brief. The Qing Dynasty, some Europeans came to China very different in the West, Chinese imperial culture had a strong interest and a more detailed description of the circumstances at the time of castration surgery. However, these descriptions are mostly hearsay, far below the late Qing Dynasty palace eunuch basis of their experience-based memories of detail, its credibility is also questionable. According to Qing Dynasty eunuch memories, there are two prominent Beijing castration family, known as the "yard": First, "the South long" street "Accounting Division" alley's "complete home"; the other is "to an outside" squares are Alley's "knife Liu." They have been the prime mover of the family court recognized Shi Chuan, the six official price of goods, referred to as "knife Carpenter." 2 is said to have their own unique skills, but skills not exposed, but his son according to legend.

Surgical procedures, in addition to chief surgeon, who, in general, need 34 aides. Those who have been castrated are subject to adoption of Banwo posture Yang fell to the bed, several aides of his lower abdomen and the upper part of double-stranded with white cloth tightly enclosed, fixed, and then press and hold someone responsible for their waist and abdomen, while the others are using "hot pepper Tom "cleansing castration parts to be disinfected. The knife used was a castration was sickle-curved cutting edge, is said to be using gold and copper alloy to prevent post-operative infection, but usually no special use of disinfection measures, fire roasted then it would be sterile. All this is completed, chief surgeon, who ie with sickle-curved cutting edge, for those who have been castrated to remove the penis with the scrotum, usually in two steps: first step is to cut off testicles. In the balloon around a deep hole in the horizontal slit to Jinluo in order to cut off testicles squeezed out. This requires the body to fight castration by Ting, Xiao Duzi energetically out drum. Stand-body strength to the testicles squeezed out, a knife maker will film a good pig left and right sides Kudan paste it into the balloon.

The second step is to cut the penis. This requires very high technology, cutting light would stay more than a trend in the future will be inside the gristle bulge outward, it must be to endure a second knife, the palace called "brush stubble"; If you cut deep, and in the future, after recovery will look inside collapsed to form a pit-like solution when the urine was fan-shaped, life inconvenient. Palace eunuchs nine out of ten have a urine crotch defects, which is after-effects of castration. After the penis removed to plug in a big straw, and then the other pigs Kudan split, was deposited in the butterfly-shaped wound on the ground. Some are also said to use bolt-shaped wax needle insertion urethra, and the paper soaked with cold water, cover the wound dressing. This is probably the purification venues are different technical differences emerged.

Was emasculated in the frame after the operation must be held by people in indoor stroll arm with two to three hours, and then lying before a break. Three days after the surgery is to be castrated are most tough time. During these three days, they lie on a special door on the hands and legs are fitted locks firmly bound and can not move its main objective is to avoid touching the wound to prevent infection. The middle door was also left with a small hole trap, toilet time. There was no good anti-inflammatory pain-killing means, in order to avoid wound infections should be strictly prohibited drinking water, can be described as a painful exception. Three days later, when needles or straw ash removal, urine can be discharged, operation shall succeed. But suffering is not the past, the most important thing is stretch legs, each time it hurt darling stretch cracking trembled, but this person is to be castrated, otherwise it may lead to rickets waist, his life can not be straight, so we can only endure such pain. Nursed back to health after a period of hundred days or so still.

Each one has been castrated men have, without exception, have experienced some painful torture. This process is so cruel, so painful, so brutal castration of those who have remembered all his life. Qing Dynasty eunuch "Ma Deqing," in his later years, recalled:

That year, there is no anesthesia, no needles, hemostatic like, ... ... forcibly child by a jump in there, his fatal organ from him cut down, the child that what Tenga! A root meridians attached heart was really distressed to jump out from the mouth of the ... ... After the operation, in the urethra on the placement of a tube, or, granulation long dead, no urine on the scatter comes, have to move the first second operation. I was listening to people who know this round after round, cut out that stuff later, can not let the scarring wound quickly ... ... so have to always dressing. To tell the truth, where is the medicine does nothing but painted Pak Lap, sesame oil, pepper powder tissue children. Each time medication, who regarded pain from a very tough battle.

I remember that time, I was always lying on the heatable adobe sleeping platform on the spine like a broken ... ... like, like a brief look at the body, but dare not Move, that is a little less about your body, the wounds are holding distressed it! Large, lying pull urine so the urine. Bottom below Dianzhe dust, dust every day for, but also wet.
Has been cut penis, known as "treasure", but under normal circumstances, a knife maker will do this thing like a "treasure" as to hide the contrary, those who were not entitled to return to purification. After processing a knife maker, the "treasure" will normally be placed in "l" in, with red cloth, carefully placed in the interior height, referred to as "soaring", meaning to take up high in order to wish the purification who in the future popular movement, rise higher and higher. Fortune in the future those who wait until the purification, and redemption of their own "treasure", the knife craftsman can discuss the opportunity to claim money. Redemption of the body's own material, castration shall be known as "flesh and blood is also home." This is them, is the largest of the happy event in life, rituals are very grand, like Bridal general. Also by the purification of those family members to save their own situation. Rural poor families in the past, than the beam height, which mostly will be hung on the beam, a length increase with every passing year, to wish the child could palace "rise higher and higher."

Save the "treasure" Generally, there are three reasons: First, in order to do so after the upgrade checking eunuch in order to prove the identity of castration, that is commonly referred to as "inspection treasure"; two eunuchs in the future after the death, to the "treasure" into the coffin where buried together, because eunuchs who want to switch to another world, or when the child can resume a man's character; three virtual Expo is a Chinese tradition of the skin by one's parents made the concept of eunuchs as the person is already a lack of filial piety than punishment, can not propagate the human race is even more disrespectful big, so there will be "treasure" to preserve, after death, with the coffin and the burial, but also a psychological compensation.

Needs to be noted that although castration is to become a eunuch a necessary prerequisite, but not every one who has been castrated are easily able to enter the palace, and each dynasty has a rigorous selection system and procedures. However, regardless of whether or not to enter the palace by castrated person since started another completely different life. It is precisely because of this, they generally think that life is all the joy comes from the day of by the castrated, and castrated by the day became the birthday of its new day, fortune-telling is also the basis for the future date subject to castrate heavenly stems, the Earthly Branches.
