The legend of the Taj Mahal in India Tagore once said that the Taj Mahal is a tear on the eternal cheek. This description is so sad and desperate.

Ajman Banu was originally a woman from Persia.

Beautiful and virtuous, 19 years loyal to King Shah Jahan, experienced war.

Shayehan loved her deeply and named her "Taj Mahal", which means the crown of the court.

Unfortunately, the Taj Mahal died after giving birth to the first 14 child, and Shajehan turned white overnight.

In memory of his wife, he devoted 22 years to building the Taj Mahal, and dreamed of building an identical black mausoleum for himself on the other side of the river, with a marble bridge half black and half white in the middle, and sleeping with his beloved princess after his death.

But shortly after the Taj Mahal was completed, his son usurped the throne, and Sha Jiahan was imprisoned in Agra Fort not far away.

For the next eight years, the old king could only gaze at his lover's grave by the refraction of a crystal stone every day, so as to pin his endless thoughts on him until his death.

/kloc-India in the middle of the 0/7th century was pregnant with turmoil during its prosperity.

Shortly after the young monarch Shah Jahan succeeded to the throne, there was a sudden rebellion in the south. The rebels are not strong, but they are menacing. Wherever they go, they kill people and set fires, doing all kinds of evil and doing great damage.

The troops sent have also been repeatedly frustrated and rustic.

At first, King Shah Jahan was prepared to lead his troops to make a personal expedition, but court officials objected that only one rebel army was not enough for the emperor to make a personal expedition. Besides, the country can't live without a monarch for a day. As soon as Shah Jahan heard the truth, he gave up. His heart is really uneasy at home, especially the beautiful queen Taj Mahal, who has been pregnant for several months ... but now the riots are getting bigger and bigger, and the consequences will be too serious if they are not stopped immediately! Once again, Shah Jahan decided to fight the rebels in the south. He told the Queen Taj Mahal all about it.

"No, no, it's too dangerous for you to go!" 1 There is no better way! ""think again! " "Really not? ..

""where ... I'll go with you! " "no!" "Either you don't go or I'll go with you! "The king beat the queen. Before going to war, he ordered the strongest bodyguard to protect the queen.

When the news of the emperor's personal expedition came, the army was greatly encouraged and quickly gained a foothold.

Just as the king led the army to fight day and night, the date of the queen's delivery drew near. In order not to distract her husband, she kept secrets from the people around her, and Shajehan, who was exhausted by days of fierce fighting, had no intention of taking care of him.

When the rebels dispersed, the bad news came naturally. Queen Taj Mahal died in childbirth.

Shajehan was struck by lightning, and he stumbled towards the Queen's residence. Day and night, he shut himself in his room. When he came out, people found that the king's hair was all silver ...

After Ban Shi returned to Korea, the first thing the king did was to order all skilled craftsmen to spare no time and money to build the most beautiful and noble mausoleum in memory of the queen.

Twenty years later, a magnificent white mausoleum with the unique essence of Indian architectural art stands on the south bank of the Yemuna River, which is the Taj Mahal.

Legend has it that Sha Jiahan originally wanted to build a black marble mausoleum of the same style for himself next to the Taj Mahal to show that life and death depend on each other.

Unfortunately, in his later years, he was usurped by the Prince and imprisoned in Hongbao. He sits in the corridor every day, staring at a crystal embedded in a pillar, reflecting the distant Taj Mahal's painful state of missing love and losing freedom. Shajehan spent the rest of his life sadly.

Legend of Dasongtai

Five miles southwest of Lixian County, there is a big lump called Dasongtai.

Legend has it that there is a temple on the Dasongtai.

There are two monks living in the temple, one old and the other young.

One morning, the old monk got up to clean the path in front of the door. He found some marks beside the path that didn't look like paintings and characters, so he swept them away.

Just after cleaning, a middle-aged man dressed in southern China came.

He looked at the ground and asked, "Did you sweep those things on the ground?" The old monk "hmm".

The man stamped his foot. "Ouch!" He said in tears, "That's my tight encirclement. He tried to catch a mysterious fox that entered the temple last night, but you drove it away.

"The middle-aged man shook his head and left of cutting.

Besides, the mysterious fox escaped from the temple and practiced for decades, and then returned to repay the kindness.

It asked the old monk for a dream and said, "Tomorrow, you will go to a place with classics, and if you get it, you will become an immortal.

"The old monk didn't believe it at first, but he had the same dream for several days.

So he said to the young monk, "Disciple, I'm going to learn the scriptures. I don't know when I will come back. If you really miss me, bring me this portrait. "

"The old monk said, and gave a picture without eyes to the young monk.

And tell him that whoever can draw eyes in the future will be your master.

With that, the old monk left the temple.

After a year, the young monk waited left and right and didn't see the master coming back, so he went to find the master who had memorized the portrait.

As he walked, he shouted, "Who will draw my picture! Who will draw my portrait! " People around him just looked at him curiously, and no one took a pen to draw for him.

Later, when I arrived in Beijing, I still shouted like this.

This matter reached the ears of Emperor Meiji.

Out of curiosity, the emperor took the portrait, added it three times, five times and two times and gave it to the young monk.

The young monk took it back, just like the master.

He remembered Master's instructions when he left, and he clamored to see him.

The bodyguard took him to the golden palace.

The young monk knelt down, called the master and told the whole story.

Although Emperor Meiji listened with a grain of salt, he also shook his confidence in being emperor forever.

There is a poem that expresses his feelings at that time: "I am the master of the earth and mountains, and I am worried about my country and people." It's not as good as a monk's house for half a day.

"Later, Emperor Meiji left a poem" When can I stop the 18 years of fame and fortune? I am going to die today, and I want to rest in peace in prosperity? " He threw down his robe and put it on to become a monk.

Leisure every day is much more comfortable than being an emperor.

As written in the poem: "The iron horse generals crossed the border at night, the courtiers were colder, and the monks were still sleeping in the middle of the night. It seems that fame and fortune are not as good as leisure.

"Decades later, Emperor Meiji died in Wutai Mountain, and his statue was still on the top of Wutai Mountain.

After that, the mysterious fox returned to Dasongtai and settled down.

It is said that every time in the dead of night, there will be a light around the big pine platform, and people say it is a fox spirit.

Weimanmeike building palace

Weimanmek Palace, also known as Mamam Miyawada Yungong, is also known as the golden hall of great sacred objects, because it is the largest and most exquisite teak palace in the world.

It is also a museum of photos and artworks of emperors in Tai Huang, which is of great historical significance.

This palace was built on the order of Chulalongkorn, the fifth king of Ji Jie Dynasty in Thailand. The original site is located in Shichang Island, and now the teak palace has been moved to the suburbs of Bangkok.

Construction began in 1900, and it is the palace of King V. ..

There is also a legend about this palace, that is, the Five Emperors had a favorite prince, but the emperor was sickly. The Five Emperors specially built a Temple of the Great Relic on Shichang Island for the Prince to recuperate.

Due to the elegant environment of Shichang Island, the Prince recovered without medicine, and Emperor V was overjoyed and took him back to Bangkok for reunion.

Unexpectedly, the prince died suddenly shortly after returning to Bangkok. Sad, Emperor V ordered Temple of the Great Relic on Shichang Island to be moved to Bangkok.

So today, only the ruins of the palace are left on Shichang Island.

Vientiane Jade Buddha Temple in Laos

Wat Haw Pha Kaew, Jade Buddha Temple, was built in 1565 by King Sa Taatila of Lancang Kingdom, and is mainly used to worship the Jasper Buddha statue brought from Longpo Kingdom.

Jade Buddha is a rare treasure, originally stored in Chiang Mai Kingdom.

1547, King Satatira of Luang Prabang ruled Chiang Mai. Because of the constant war in Chiang Mai at that time, King Satatilla brought it back to Luang Prabang to preserve the jade Buddha.

1560, King Sa Taatila moved the capital to Vientiane and ordered the construction of a temple for storing jade buddhas.

1778, Siam troops invaded Laos and plundered the Jade Buddha to Bangkok.

Jade Buddha has been preserved in Laos for 2 18 years.

1829, the Jade Buddha Temple was burned by the war.

1936, the Jade Buddha Temple was rebuilt in the Kingdom of Laos, basically keeping its original appearance.

1987, the Lao People's Democratic Republic and China designated the Jade Buddha Temple as the National Museum of Cultural Relics.

This temple is a magnificent building with three floors, deep halls and huge Buddhist altar.

The "Sinhalese Buddha", which has attracted the attention of countries in Indochina Peninsula, has always been a symbol that the king who has achieved hegemony must control.

In a.d. 1779, the jade Buddha was plundered by the king of Siam. It is now stored in the Jade Buddha Temple in Mangu, Thailand. It is said that it belonged to their northern province in the15th century, so it was just taken back.

Until today.

1828, Vientiane was occupied by Siam, the whole city was reduced to ashes, and the Jade Buddha Temple was destroyed.

The Emerald Buddha in Vientiane, Laos was finally enshrined in the temple of the same name in Bangkok until 1936. The Lao and French authorities decided to restore the original appearance of the temple, but as a religious art museum, some collections from other temples were transferred to this temple. Vientiane Jade Buddha Temple was rebuilt in 1942, with long dragons guarding the temple base and the stairs around the cloister. There are complex rococo carvings on the door of the temple and many reliefs on the wall, all of which are Buddhist stories. There are many stone carvings of Buddha statues in the cloister, which is equivalent to a Buddhist museum.

1954, the Lao collection called Fennu Museum by Louis was stored in this temple.

It can be seen that many collections, from the gilded throne of the king to Khmer statues, high-quality wood carvings, very famous door carvings, and gold, jade and crystal Buddha statues of different shapes and sizes, are valuable treasures of Lao people's art.
