Post Body
In many Chinese secondary school textbooks, the conflict between eunuchs and scholars in medieval China is a recurring theme. And in most occasions, court eunuchs are demonised as corrupt, power-hungry and out for personal gain, while scholars are portrayed as defenders of morals and the staunch guardians of the dynasty's long-term stability. Has there been any challenges to this popular perception, especially considering official court histories are written by the scholars themselves?
