Why China castrated Eunuch?
The word eunuch (eunuchs) is derived from the Greek word that is eune (bed) and ekhein (guard), or when combined, became keeper of the bed. They are considered more obedient, harmless, and can be trusted. For those ancient times, castration is a trained mediator for self-control. Eunuchs can focus devote himself for life, or sometimes there who use their position to gain power, fame, and wealth.
For a certain class of men, it is a way to sidestep from the paradigm that exists between those who seek such a life-forcibly remove the inner turmoil that constantly arise between desire and duty, between domination and sacrifice.
An emperor put full trust to the eunuch (taijian) originated from traditional thinking follower of Confucius in connection with a position as a father. A castrated male is unable to produce offspring, and will never be trusted taijian actively crave political power that will be passed on to his son. For this reason also that the emperor who banned relaxed facial expression seen by ordinary men actually allow taijian have unlimited access to enter the palace apartments.
The Story of Chinese eunuchs or castrated male who has a long history of interest. They only get rare access to the imperial family. For centuries, they hold great power as a store of secrets and intrigue of the imperial family's life. A Eunuch, usually from outside the imperial family, to their empire into the environment must be neutered, so that the law would not apply to him
