Why did the Qing emperor go to court to whip three times?

In fact, this is a set of etiquette procedures, the purpose is to show the majesty and power of the monarch. Every day before the court meeting, there will be specially trained eunuchs to complete this etiquette. It is used not only before meetings, but also before ceremonies or sacrifices. Its purpose is to warn courtiers that when the emperor arrives, you need to submit, be quiet and be respectful.

The importance of "three whips"

Although there are only three whips, don't underestimate them. There are still real whips used in the Qing Dynasty. This kind of whip is thick and long, and the tip of the whip is made of special soft skin (it is said that it is made of the skin of a giant leech) and coated with a special layer of wax. It is not easy to wave this whip.

It needs a professionally trained eunuch to complete it. Make sure that every whip can be pumped down, not slowly or in a hurry. If something goes wrong, the eunuch will be clubbed. Because the eunuch who learns to whip should not only have the strength of arms and wrists, but also master the skills skillfully. Every whip represents the majesty of the emperor. If it is a mistake, it is not a trivial matter. This shows the importance of mastering a professional technology.
