Why did the Qing emperor serve eunuchs instead of maids?

Even if a eunuch is castrated, he will always be a man's skeleton, so in terms of physique and strength, he does far more things than a maid-in-waiting, which is obviously more suitable for changing clothes for the emperor.

In terms of strength, the emperor sometimes walks without legs in his life. The Forbidden City, now the Forbidden City, where the Qing emperors lived, has a total area of 720,000 square meters. It is usually very tiring to walk from one temple to another. Therefore, when the emperor travels in the palace, he will also use steps, and it is always difficult to recruit a group of guards in the inner palace.

This is on the one hand, on the other hand, eunuchs are men's bodies, so they will not be so embarrassed when serving food, especially when every emperor gets up early. When you get up in the morning, men will have some physiological reactions as long as there is nothing wrong with them. If it's a maid-in-waiting, maybe the emperor will do morning exercises on a whim, then it's not a problem of palace fighting. Ministers will jointly write a letter, so the death of several maids is second, and writing a letter to courtiers is also a big trouble.

Another point is that most of the eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty were Han Chinese, while the Qing Dynasty was Manchu. Although he has already entered, it seems that the royal family is very decent, but he still despises the Han people in his bones, so he has a sense of superiority in front of the castrated Han people. Of course, this is just a guess. Maybe the royal family in Qing dynasty was not so boring.

But in terms of strength, it should be close to the truth. After all, physically speaking, maids are really inferior to eunuchs. Although the eunuch looks more feminine, at least he was a man.
