"Who Lingnan Dao Zhongzuo" once said: "In the place of homesickness, the birds in the red hibiscus flowers are crying." "For thousands of years, there have been countless touching love stories around the world, and throughout the ages, all true love will win the attention of the world, and its legendary and tortuous experience has also aroused the concern and admiration of future generations."
When it comes to the world-famous building Taj Mahal, I believe that many people are not unfamiliar, for many years, the Taj Mahal has always been a place that many tourist enthusiasts yearn for, and after people have seen the Taj Mahal, they will be amazed by its magnificence.
Like many famous buildings in the world, behind the Taj Mahal, there is also a touching story, and many people will have a new understanding of the Taj Mahal building after learning about the taj mahal owner Taj's short life experience of 38 years. So, what are the hidden secrets behind this world-famous building? Why did Taj die at the age of thirty-eight?
Taj' original name was Ajiman Banu, and in 1607 Adjanne first met Shah Jahan, the fifth emperor of the Mughal Empire.
At that time, Shah Jahan had not yet ascended to the throne, but was only a teenager, and by chance, Shah Jahan met a girl, Ajiman, on the street. His heart was constantly fluctuating before he had experienced the taste of love, and with only the first impression, Shah Jahan decided that Ajman would be with him for the rest of his life.
After some investigation, Shah Jahan learned that Ajman was not the daughter of a commoner, but the daughter of a nobleman, and the doubts in Shah Jahan's heart had dissipated. After that, Shah Jahan applied to his father to marry Ajman, and eventually, after Ajman turned nineteen, the two were officially married.
Although Ajman was only a girl, her intelligence and political talent were far beyond ordinary people, and because of this, Ajman has become the strongest support behind Shah Jahan since her marriage.
Although after the two married, Shah Jahan had forced the palace to fail and had to go into exile, his marriage to Ajman was not affected, and the feelings between the two became deeper and deeper under the environment of suffering and commonality.
During his exile, Shah Jahan did not give up the struggle for power, and eventually, in 1628 AD, Shah Jahan successfully became the new emperor, and Ajiman was awarded the honorary title of "Taj Mahal".
According to Indian historical records, Shah Jahan married Taj for nineteen years, and Taj gave birth to fourteen children for her husband. However, the tragedy of their marriage also stems from Taj's continuous fertility.
As mentioned earlier, Shah Jahan and Taj share honor and disgrace, so when Shah Jahan goes out to fight, Taj will always follow him.
In 1631, Shah Jahan prepared to go out on a campaign, and although taj, at the age of thirty-eight, was nine months pregnant, she insisted on following Shah Jahan on the expedition.
Insha Jahan could not go against his wife's wishes and could only take her with him. However, in the chaotic war environment, Taj, who was already pregnant, encountered countless difficult situations.
In this chaotic environment, Taj had the misfortune of dystocia, was limited by medical conditions, and thereafter, Taj also died of puerperal fever.
For Shah Jahan, Taj's death dealt a heavy blow to him, and in order to commemorate the relationship between the two, Sha Jahan invited the best craftsmen in the country to build an exclusive Taj Mahal for her.
According to legend, in order to make these craftsmen feel the pain of losing his wives, Shah Jahan even brutally killed the wives of the craftsmen.
Since then, Shah Jahan has spent almost all of the money in the treasury on the construction of the Taj Mahal, and for twenty-two years, more than 20,000 servants have participated in the construction of the Taj Mahal every day, and in addition to the country's master builders, Shah Jahan has invited architects from the Middle East and Islamic regions.
In the end, a mausoleum that shook the world was successfully built, and to this day, the Taj Mahal is still the most famous building in the world.
Under the influence of the construction of the Taj Mahal, the Mughal Empire under Shah Jahan was in decline, which is also a regret that can never be erased for the development of Indian history.
epilogue
As an architectural wonder that cannot be ignored in human history, the completion of the Taj Mahal condenses the painstaking efforts of countless people and is full of Shah Jahan's affection for his wife. For thousands of years, the legend of the Taj Mahal has been praised, and when people know the story behind the Taj Mahal, they will have a different understanding of this building.
Today, the development situation in the world has undergone new changes, and the buildings built by the oppression of the people, such as the Taj Mahal, will no longer exist.
Perhaps in the coming days, with the continuous improvement of the comprehensive strength of various countries, different countries will also rely on the help of modern construction technology to promote the better development of their own construction careers, and there will be more breathtaking buildings in the future world architecture history.
