Put a stick in your hand to tell fortune.

In ancient times, eunuchs always held a furry stick in their hands. In fact, the role of the stick was used to express religion. Ancient emperors were all Buddhists, and there was blowing dust between Buddhists, which meant blowing dust. Dust has a wide meaning, not only representing ordinary dust, but also representing all evil spirits. But such an artifact must not be held by the king himself, so the personal eunuch around the king will hold this dust.

In fact, the eunuch just helped the king hold this thing. As the son of heaven, the king cannot be polluted by evil things. Therefore, the existence of this dust-blowing is to help the king block disasters and avoid evil spirits. Secondly, dusting is actually used to repel mosquitoes. There was no insect repellent in ancient times, so there were many mosquitoes in the palace, but if the king and his concubines drove away the mosquitoes themselves, they would lose their integrity.

So eunuchs hold dust around them to help kings and masters drive away mosquitoes. Ancient people didn't reach out and hit mosquitoes. The death of mosquitoes in their own hands is not only dirty, but also a kind of killing for those who believe in Buddhism. Never dare to happen in front of the king, so the eunuch can help the king drive away mosquitoes with dust.

In addition, it is also a symbol of status and blowing dust. Not all eunuchs in the palace can stand blowing dust. Only eunuchs with greater power and higher rank are qualified to carry the dust. Only eunuchs who serve the king, queen and queen are qualified to hold dust, while little eunuchs in front of ordinary concubines are not qualified to hold dust at all. Therefore, eunuchs who can hold dust in the palace are also eunuchs at the manager level.

Therefore, as long as the eunuch holds dust in his hand, other eunuchs must be careful. Of course, you have to get the king's permission to accommodate the dust, so this is also a gift from the king.
