Like many famous buildings in the world, there is a touching story behind the Taj Mahal. Many people will have a new understanding of the Taj Mahal after learning about the owner's short life experience of 38 years. So, what's the secret behind this world-famous building? Why did the Taj Mahal die at the age of 38?
The original name of the Taj Mahal is Ajman Banu. In A.D. 1607, Ajman first met Shah Jahan, the fifth emperor of the Mughal Empire.
At that time, Sha Jiahan was just a teenager before he ascended the throne. By chance, Shah Jahan met a girl Ajman in the street. He has never experienced the taste of love, and his heart is choppy. According to his first impression, Shah Jahan decided that Ajman would stay with him for life.
After some investigation, Shah Jahan learned that Ajman was not a civilian's daughter, but a noble's daughter. At this point, Shah Jahan's doubts have all dissipated. After that, Shah Jahan applied to his father to marry Ajman. Finally, after Ajman 19 years old, they officially got married.
Although Ajman is only a girl, her intelligence and political ability far surpass others. Because of this, Ajman has been the most solid support behind Shah Jahan since he got married.
Although Shah Jahan once failed in the palace and had to go into exile after their marriage, his marriage with Ajman was not affected, and their feelings became deeper and deeper in the environment of suffering and * * * *.
During his exile, Shah Jahan did not give up his struggle for political power. Finally, in 1628, Shah Jahan became the new emperor, and Ajman was awarded the honorable title of "Taj Mahal".
According to Indian historical records, Sha Jiahan and Taj Mahal were married for nineteen years, and Taj Mahal also gave birth to fourteen children for her husband. However, the tragedy of their marriage also stems from the successive birth of the Taj Mahal.
As mentioned above, Sha Jiahan and the Taj Mahal are either honored or humiliated. So, when Sha Jiahan goes out to fight, the Taj Mahal will always follow him.
In A.D. 163 1 year, Shah Jahan prepared to go out for personal expedition. Although the 38-year-old Taj was nine months pregnant during this period, she still insisted on dating Sha Jiahan.
Because Shah Jahan can't go against his wife's wishes, he must take her. However, in the chaotic war environment, the pregnant Taj Mahal encountered numerous difficulties.
In this chaotic environment, the Taj Mahal was unfortunately dystocia and was limited by medical conditions. Since then, the Taj Mahal has also passed away tragically due to puerperal fever.
For Shah Jahan, the death of the Taj Mahal was a heavy blow to him. To commemorate the affection between them, Shah 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 their wives, Shah Jahan even brutally killed their wives.
Since then, Sha Jiahan has spent almost all the money in the national treasury on the construction of the Taj Mahal. In the past 22 years, more than 20,000 laborers participated in the construction of the Taj Mahal every day. In addition to local architects, Sha Jiahan also invited architects from the Middle East and Islamic regions.
Finally, a mausoleum that can shake the world was successfully built. Today, the Taj Mahal remains the most famous building in the world.
Influenced by the construction of the Taj Mahal, the Mughal Empire under Sha Jiahan gradually declined, which is also a regret that Indian historical development can never be erased.
As an architectural miracle that cannot be ignored in human history, the completion of the Taj Mahal embodies the painstaking efforts of countless people, and is also full of Shah Jahan's deep affection for his wife. The legendary story about the Taj Mahal has been sung for thousands of years. When people know the story behind the Taj Mahal, they will have a different understanding of this building.
Nowadays, new changes have taken place in the development situation of countries around the world, and buildings built by oppressed people like the Taj Mahal will no longer exist.
Perhaps in the future, with the continuous improvement of the comprehensive strength of various countries, different countries will also rely on the help of modern building technology to promote their own architectural undertakings to achieve better development, and there will be more amazing buildings in the future world architectural history.
