Chinese Eunuchs - pix

[daifu-orchid (imported)]

Just came across this site with many photos of late Qing eunuchs.

Seems that those here who doubted the loss of penis with the testicles should find it pretty clear here....

Any of these outfits for anyone?

The garments are important. I am knowledgeable, but not expert, about Chinese Imperial Eunuchs. The eunuchs wearing plain clothes are laborers or ordinary workers. The eunuchs wearing clothes with diagonal stripes have senior ranks and authority. The square insignia on their chests indicates high rank in the imperial court. There are many subtle differences in rank indicated by the pattern of stripes and the design on the chest, I only know the meaning of a few of these designs. --FLO--

Very interesting; thanks for sharing. Removing penis and testicles together with one swipe of a blade is an awesome concept. I imagine those Chinese cutters used opium to suppress the pain, but I'd like to know how they controlled the bleeding.

I read somewhere that they applied pitch to the wound to control bleeding. This after inserting something into the urethra to keep it open.

Hopefully these pix interest, and add a little to show the difficulty in knowing now exactly what went on so relatively recently....

My computer flipped out at that link warning me about viruses and malware.

I got nothing on it from Avira or Malwarebytes. What are you using?

My ISP uses Norton and I had no problem with the link. Whatever version of Norton they're using must work pretty good. It will occasionally block stuff and I've never had a problem with nasty stuff causing any problems.

Goose feather.
