In the history of architecture, the Taj Mahal in Arag, India, has an absolute place. The architectural style of Indo-Islam with its symmetrical structure and reasonable spatial layout has attracted thousands of architects and tourists from all over the world to visit and study here. Today we are talking about the Taj Mahal, a unique building, which actually originated from a long-lasting love affair.
At the beginning of the 17th century, the 15-year-old prince Shah Jahan met the beautiful Persian girl Ajman at the bazaar. Banu. The two fell in love at first sight, but both were still very young, so they fell in love for 5 years, and Shah Jahan married the 19-year-old Ajman at the age of 20, so Ajman was also given the name "Taj. Mahal", or Taj in abbreviation.
But in reality, the married life of the prince and princess is not very peaceful. Shah Jahan is a particularly competitive and scheming person, when his father was still on the throne, he wanted to rebel and seize the throne, after the failure of the mutiny he began to wander, living a very miserable life, Taj never abandoned him, has been with him, for him to solve problems, years of companionship make the feelings of the two people more solid.
In 1627, Shah Jahan's father Jahangir died of illness, Shah Jahan succeeded in ascending the throne with the help of his father-in-law, becoming the new king, originally thinking that Shah Jahan would have three wives and four concubines after becoming king, but Shah Jahan was single-mindedly pampering the Taj who accompanied him from birth to death. The two people are like conjoined babies, glued together wherever they are.
Such an intimate husband and wife relationship is also the disaster of the later Taj, the contraceptive means of that era are very scarce, Taj married Shah Jahan in 19 years, gave birth to 14 children in a row, almost one a year, frequent births also hollowed out Taj's body, when Taj was 38 years old, she was still giving birth, at this time she was already an advanced maternal age, and Shaja Khan would take Montaj when she went out on the expedition, the long-distance rush plus the dangerous moment of fertility devastated her, after giving birth to the 14th child, Taj dies.
Shah Jahan, distraught at the bad news, locked himself up for a whole year, and when he came out, his hair was all white and his eyes had lost their luster, as if the spirited warrior had changed a man a year earlier. Shah Jahan had no intention of fighting, and the only thought in his mind was "to build a mausoleum for her that is unique in the world." So Shah Jahan recruited world-famous designers and craftsmen to create a mausoleum unique to the world for his beloved Taj.
And in order to make the designer feel the pain of his own cone, Shah Jahan ordered the execution of the designer's wife, just to let him experience this grief and inspire inspiration. Shah Jahan is perverted, but also obsessed. Over the course of 22 years, the world-shaking building was built, but it also brought down the Mughal dynasty. After the completion of the mausoleum, Shah Jahan, in order to prevent the craftsmen from building a similar mausoleum, ordered all the craftsmen's hands to be cut off, and this beautiful Taj Mahal was stained with countless blood from the beginning.
A long-lasting love affair, a mausoleum built with all its might, is remembered more for blood. What do you think?
