Wei Zhongxian
Wei Zhongxian (1568 – December 12, 1627) was a Chinese court eunuch who lived in the late Ming dynasty. He is considered by most historians as the most powerful and notorious eunuch in Chinese history.〔(“Wei Zhongxian,” ) ‘’Encyclopaedia Britannica. Encyclopaedia Britannica Online Academic Edition’’. Encyclopaedia Britannica Inc, 2014.〕 He is best known for his service in the court of the Tianqi Emperor (r. 1620–27), when his power eventually rivaled that of the emperor.
==Early life (1568-1585)==
Little is known of Wei's pre-court life. Wei was illiterate throughout his life, which may be an indication that he was born into a peasant or merchant class family. He is presumed to have been born in 1568 in Suning County (100 miles southeast of Beijing), to have married a girl with the surname of Fang, and to have castrated himself at age 21 (Ming dynastic records claim that he did in order to escape his gambling debts). Due to his infamy in Chinese culture over the past 400 years, other stories of his early life have appeared, many showing him as a ruffian and a compulsive gambler.
