In p>1983, it was listed in the World Heritage List according to the cultural heritage selection criteria C (I). Report rated as heritage: Report of the 7th session of the World Heritage Committee.
The Taj Mahal, built from 1632 to 1654, expresses a king's incomparable and unforgettable memory of his dear wife.
In p>1631, the wife of the Mughal emperor died in childbirth while giving birth to her 14th child. She was 36 years old and had been married for 18 years. For her husband Shah Jahan, she lost not only her dear wife, but also a shrewd consultant. It is said that he wore mourning clothes for two years (according to another record, his hair turned white with sadness). He vowed to build an unparalleled mausoleum worthy of his wife in memory of her. No one can deny his success. There is an amazing building in Amiman Dabannou, or Momtaz mahar (meaning "the chosen palace"), which is engraved with the abbreviation of her name: Taj Mahal. Because too many superlatives are used to describe the building, most visitors are afraid that they will be disappointed when they approach it.
The shape of the Taj Mahal, which is very familiar from countless photos, is used as a symbol of restaurants, a trademark of hot and sour sauce and condiments. In fact, it is used anywhere, and people immediately think of India when they see it. Nevertheless, few people were disappointed when they saw the Taj Mahal.
I can never get tired of seeing the Taj Mahal. It still surprises people. It shows different characteristics at different times of the day and in different natural light. Although it is a mausoleum, it does not have all the cold silence of the usual mausoleum. On the contrary, you feel it seems to float between heaven and earth. Its harmony and symmetry, the fusion of the garden and the reflection in the water have created a miracle that has amazed countless visitors. It is estimated that 2, craftsmen participated in the construction of the Taj Mahal, which took 22 years to complete. It is said that a Frenchman and a Venetian participated in part of the project. So far, no architect has been recorded to have definitely participated in the construction of the mausoleum-this is very suitable for this building, because the original intention of building it is to let people remember only the people in the mausoleum.
The Taj Mahal is made of marble from a quarry 322 kilometers away, but it is not the pure white building as in some photos. Thousands of precious stones and semi-precious stones are embedded in marble on the surface, and the words on the mausoleum are made of black marble. Excellent craftsmanship can be seen from a carved marble fence. When the sun shines on the fence, it casts varied shadows. Once upon a time, there was a silver door with a gold railing and a large piece of cloth made of pearls covering the queen's cenotaph (which was located above the actual burial place). Thieves stole these precious things, and many people tried to dig up the gems embedded in marble columns, but the majestic Taj Mahal still fascinated people.
The Taj Mahal is located in a scenic area, with a majestic doorway symbolizing the entrance to heaven and an arched pavilion above. There used to be a pure silver door with hundreds of silver nails embedded in it. These things have been robbed, and now the door is made of copper.
The legend that Shah Jahan wants to build himself the same black marble mausoleum on the other side of Jumuna River doesn't seem to have much truth. His son Olangzeb was proclaimed emperor in 1658 and kept his father under house arrest in a castle in Agra for nine years until his death. Sha Jiahan can see the Taj Mahal from a distance from the castle. Later he was also buried in the Taj Mahal.
The Taj Mahal represents the peak of Mughal architectural achievements. This style of mausoleum stands on a pedestal decorated with a light tower, and people have the same reverence for it as they do for mosques. This style of memorial mausoleum developed in northern India and disappeared with it.
The mausoleum of Homaine in Delhi was started in 1564. It is the prototype of the Taj Mahal, solid and dignified, not exquisite and elegant. In the 197s, aurangzeb made a replica of the Taj Mahal for his wife in Ozgabad, but it didn't have the charm and harmony of the Taj Mahal. Another mausoleum in Delhi, the tomb of Saif Dajia, was started in 1753. It is called "the last flash of Moshener's architecture", but it is not a building that people try their best to see in the canal. These memorial tombs all have a standard model-a large onion-shaped vault, a waterway and four-part flowers. The builders of the Taj Mahal melted these things together to create an unparalleled building. Compared with the conspiracy planned by Sir William Bentinck, the governor of Bangladesh, the theft of the precious treasures in the Taj Mahal is negligible. In the 193s, he planned to demolish the neglected and overgrown Taj Mahal and transport the marble to London for sale. The plan was abandoned only because there was no buyer for the marble removed from the Red Fort in Delhi. Later, in 19, when he became the governor of India, Ke Zeng restored the Taj Mahal.
There is no doubt that the Taj Mahal is a model of perfect art in the world. Basically, the buildings made of marble are flawless, and the Taj Mahal in the moonlight gives people a feeling of being like a fairyland. She not only expressed Sha Jiahan's deep memory of his beloved wife, but also gave him a generous gift to mankind.
The Taj Mahal is a huge mausoleum mosque made of white marble, which was built by Mughal emperor Sha Jiahan in Agra from 1631 to 1648 to commemorate his beloved concubine. The Taj Mahal is the most perfect treasure of Indian Muslim art and one of the world's classic masterpieces.
The Taj Mahal, located in the ancient Indian capital of Agger, is one of the seven wonders of the world. Most people who come to india tourism admire its famous name. There is actually a sad and lingering history behind the seven architectural wonders of the world. Understanding its historical background can really increase the interest of viewing the Taj Mahal. In the 17th century, the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan used tens of thousands of workers to build a mausoleum decorated with precious stones in memory of his beloved princess Mutazhima, and the design was amazing. The most striking thing about the Taj Mahal is the main building made of pure white marble. The mausoleum is neat and symmetrical up and down, left and right, and the central dome is 62 meters high, which is amazing. There are four minarets about 41 meters high around, and tombstones inlaid with 35 different types of semi-precious stones stand between the towers. The cemetery covers an area of 17 hectares and is a slightly long circle, surrounded by red sandstone walls. The entrance gate is also built of red rock, about two stories high, and there are eleven typical white conical towers on the back of the door top. The gate leads all the way to the burial room of King Shajehan and Princess Wang, and their sarcophagus is placed in the center of the room, which is solemn and solemn. In front of the Taj Mahal is a clear waterway with fruit trees and cypress trees planted on both sides, symbolizing life and death respectively.
