Features: We can draw the following conclusions:
1. Eunuchs are inferior because they lack the ability to reproduce;
2. Eunuchs lack profound knowledge because they have no opportunity to receive advanced education;
3. Eunuchs harbor some resentment and desire for revenge against ordinary people because they were castrated due to poverty;
4. Eunuchs lack foresight and great ambitions because court life is extremely narrow and pragmatic;
5. Eunuchs lack integrity because the court despises integrity, and those with integrity cannot survive in the court.
Therefore, once eunuchs gain great power, we cannot expect them to be wiser than foreign relatives and scholars beyond their capabilities.
