Many ancient dynasties had eunuch dictatorship. Why was there no eunuch chaos in Qing Dynasty?

Eunuch is actually a specific product of the times. China was influenced by Confucian culture in ancient times and played a specific role in the Zhou Dynasty. Because he has a special social status, he can accompany the king at any time and may interfere in state affairs. In fact, the Qing Dynasty was not without eunuchs.

It was only in the early Qing Dynasty that this interference in politics was quickly suppressed. At that time, the emperor shunzhi didn't have much real power, and the power was on Dourgen, but Dourgen didn't live in the palace, so no one had more contact with eunuchs.

It is difficult for eunuchs to get in touch with Dourgen, and naturally it is difficult to get close to the real power center, let alone enter the power center, and let alone interfere in politics. Finally, the Qing legislation prohibited eunuchs from interfering in government affairs, and offenders would be put to death. But after Kangxi, eunuchs could no longer interfere in politics. Why? Because Emperor Kangxi hated eunuchs very much, Emperor Kangxi was born after many generations in the Qing Dynasty and has been influenced by China's Confucianism.

China's Confucianism pays attention to the balance of Yin and Yang, and eunuchs are the wonders of the imbalance of Yin and Yang. Emperors after Kangxi thought eunuchs were freaks and didn't want to have much contact with them. Due to physical defects, eunuchs can hardly contact ordinary officials except the emperor. Since then, the social status of eunuchs has become lower and lower, and the emperor has gradually neglected them. Finally, it is difficult for eunuchs to get close to the power center and be in an awkward position, let alone interfere in politics.
