The girl would go into premature menopause with all the issues that brought along with heath problems if they survived the torture. Premature aging and being barren meant it was unlikely they would find a husband when they left the palace. The family would see them as a burden and cast them out could be what they faced. Their lives and health were destroyed, by such evil. The palace was a Hell hole in so many ways.
I know, but then I look into my own ancestral history way back on the Viking Ships, Norman conquests, and medieval Europe. It's no less horrifying. The propensity for heinous torture and execution seems to be present in the roots of all known civilizations. Anyone of European descent has this in their ancestral DNA as well.
3:40 I dont know if this is fake or not but for the speaker to say they smell their armpits on Asian teenage girls is really not true. Asians dont have the genes for smelly armpits in China especially for girls in the age of 13-16. Any Chinese girl of that age can tell you this is not true. Im sure the AI speaker made that up ... if they make that up what else in the video is made up?
They simply imitated men, or do you believe that women have had the same power as men have throughout history, and even to the present day?? Let’s be honest, please.
@@voraciousreader3341 This comment is more sexist toward women than 99% of modern misogyny. Women are capable of free will which means women are capable of evil.
Forced sterilization of women and men (boys) was done in 20th century United States to native Americans, AfricanAmericans, and so called white trash. It happened in Western Europe too. Supposedly the basis for this was a modern version of socalled eugenetics that was born in the UK (scientst Francis Galton). But the idea is as old as the world I guess. Wether it´s forced steriliztion, forced abortion, killing of babies (often girls), etc. etc.
Why not simplify your statement so that it is more universally true? How about "the cruelty inflicted by the powerful on the lesser status is horrific"?
I saw the movie when it came out. The same directer made many other great movies. Raise the Red Lantern was made as a properganda movie to promote the Chinese communist party, showing how communism had made the lives of Chinese women's better.
@@Fiddling_while_Rome_burnsa pity the CCP didn’t elevate the status of females to counterbalance the preference for males. So instead of millions of female infants being murdered to get around the one child policy with the CCP turning a blind eye to the practice, there would have been a proper balance between the sexes instead of the unbalanced mess it is now.
If the women who were taking drugs to prevent pregnancy, became pregnant and the child survived to birth -- they were usually deformed or "special needs" children -- and seen as a curse.
It was tragic. Most eunuchs were castrated as young boys without much say in the matter. It's easier to do when they are younger, and that's how they get their more feminine qualities. It's done in early puberty.

Their FAMILIES did this to them in children in almost all cases. There were few exceptions. And imagine the kind of horrible desperation that would drive an adult to have this done to themselves just to financially survive. It was tragic indeed.
Don’t be naive. They were mostly castrated as children. Many had no clue what was in store for them. Generally they were younger “extra” sons of poor families, who got volunteered by their fathers.
@@zyxw2000 But Europe was actually way better in regards to this topic because in the Christian culture only one wife was allowed. And anything else was called adultery and was condemned by the powerful church and the public. Made such horrific actions obsolete. A king with several wife was unthinkable. He could have mistresses and bastards in secret but his heir had to be born from his legal wife. Henry VIII of England for example struggled hard with these conditions.
Eunuchs of the forbidden city were powerful... like they held real power outside the court, sometimes in the court. But what women did to their feet, mutilating them for aesthetic appearance is quite horrendous.
Their fate was worse than death. The common people were always undergoing some horrible fate. You just know the contraception medicine was something terrible. Forget being chosen for a palace maid.
So the narrator said they did not use contraceptives, and then said they use contraceptives. The narrator also keeps repeating himself. Just divulge the information.
There were contraceptives known all over the ancient world, including hunter-forager tribal cultures. (This is apart from maintaining breastfeeding, which can help hormonally to keep fertility low.). Many cultures used some variety of ointment/lubricant which they hoped was a spermicide. Barrier methods like moss and sponges were common. Then there were douches - eg wine-vinegar.

I don't quite understand why the maids had to look perfect. I don't know what their duties were though. It seems most people just want someone who can clean and maybe cook.
I don't know if this is historically accurate, but in historical chinese dramas the Emperor can sleep with any woman in the Forbidden City, that includes the maids. That could explain the beauty requirement.

I watched an old Chinese movie, "Raise the Red Lantern," and the fate of female maids and concubines didn't change much in the 1920s either.
I saw the movie when it came out. The same directer made many other great movies. Raise the Red Lantern was made as a properganda movie to promote the Chinese communist party, showing how communism had made the lives of Chinese women's better.
One of my all time favourite Asian movies.

I wasone of those Special Needs children. My Special Need was Surf.
Same in USA in 1940s
Fate of male eunuchs wasn't particularly tragic, most of them volunteered for the chop because it meant a lucrative career in the palace.
I think you’re wrong about that.
Other videos say that their families were offered money and status in return for their service.
It was tragic. Most eunuchs were castrated as young boys without much say in the matter. It's easier to do when they are younger, and that's how they get their more feminine qualities. It's done in early puberty.

That would have been a screening one would hope to fail.
similar to present day north korea. The girls "chosen" are picked out at schools - the parents see it as a great honour.
So what I'm hearing is that chinese politics provided an evolutionary pressure to be ugly. If you were too beautiful you would not pass on your genes.
I think you're underestimating the size of the population. Five thousand was a drop in the bucket even then.
This is so vile, it makes me loathe the emperors and the whole sick system. Sick!
You're still so angry about something hundreds of years ago? Do you think European cultures were any better?
@@zyxw2000we hate them too.

It's fitting these repulsive customs were relegated to the trash heap of history because they only served the egos of a select few.
good god you didn't*believe* that guff did you?
Somebody has clearly won some bet.
The more I see, the more pity I feel for women in China.
What about elsewhere around the world, such as genital mutilation in Africa?? Or how women are treated in Muslim hardcore cultures? Among others.
Well this video is about china so that's what her comment is referring to. In what way did the OP suggest that non Chinese women don't matter
Hs it not crossed your mind that you have had your leg well and truly pulled?
Female eunuchs- oh come on
horror after horror after horror
in qing dynasty there might be Guān nǚzǐ (serving maids) who served the emperor in bed but also worked as maid

He said they had no 'modern contraceptives'. Most, if not all, ancient cultures still attempted to avoid conception. With varying success.
I'm wondering if it's AI written

I had no idea.
Where can I find more information about the 'palace punishment' and how they removed the uterus? Just interested in medically how that worked.
Just the external part of the genitalia was mutilated or the female breasts. There wasn't any removal of the uterus done.
me too
Have you tried a book or info on the web?
@@zyxw2000 nothing found yet, besides an april fools day post on reddit. And you, did you find information?

They did.
