The issue of eunuch despotism in the Ming Dynasty became apparent from the mid-to-late period of the dynasty, and gradually became a major illness in Ming political affairs through several generations of emperor changes. However, the end of this system occurred during the period of Chongzhen Emperor, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

During his reign, Chongzhen Emperor deeply understood the harm of eunuch despotism, so he took a series of measures to weaken the power of eunuchs. Firstly, he limited the number of eunuchs and reduced the number of new eunuchs entering the palace. Secondly, he restricted the scope of eunuch activities and did not allow them to freely enter and leave the palace. Finally, he reduced the power of eunuchs and no longer allowed them to participate in political decision-making.

However, despite these measures taken by Chongzhen Emperor, the problem of eunuch despotism was already deeply rooted, coupled with the decline of the Ming Dynasty's national strength and external troubles, making these reform measures unable to truly solve the problem. Ultimately, in 1644, the Ming Dynasty fell, and the problem of eunuch despotism also ended.

Overall, the end of eunuch despotism in the Ming Dynasty was forced to end due to the fall of the dynasty. The end of this problem marked the end of the Ming Dynasty and also marked the end of a historical period. However, the historical lessons of this period still have important implications for social development today.
