Uzbekistan Chronicle - Garden of River Province

introduction.

The vast country of Kazakhstan has the most interesting people and my love; Kyrgyzstan, which Xuan Zang traveled through, has the most magnificent scenery; Perched on a plateau, Tajikistan has the desolation of the end of the world.

I am writing this in an apartment in Almaty. In the south, the Waiili Arao Mountain glows in the setting sun. I look at all these years of quiet good, can not help but sigh that life because of imagination and fullness, because of calm and indifferent.

Climate and diet.

March is a pleasant month in Uzbekistan. Although Uzbekistan is doubly landlocked, the air is anything but dry. All the way to see similar to northern China, the village structure and houses are very similar, there are farmlands and fruit trees everywhere, the hillside is also green, and the other three more arid Stan states are very different. It rained for seven and a half days out of nine days in Uzbekistan..... Only three half days are sunny.

Timur Square.

Timur Square was established in the 19th century as a garden-style square in memory of Timur Khan, a great strategist, strategist and statesman in the history of Uzbekistan. Known as the "Square of the Revolution" in Soviet times, the white Timurid Square commemorates the former seat of Uzbekistan's Timurid empire. It is the most important square in the whole city of Tashkent. The square is surrounded by fountains, cafes, small restaurants and Tashkent landmarks, with a majestic statue of Timur riding a horse.

National Historical Museum of Uzbekistan

The National History Museum of Uzbekistan was founded in 1876. At the time of its construction, the museum was named "Turkistan Folklore Museum", and in February 1919 it was renamed "Turkistan State Museum", and in 1970 the museum was moved to a new location and renamed "Central Lenin Museum". In 1992, after the independence of Uzbekistan, the museum was rebuilt and renamed the National Historical Museum of Uzbekistan.

It contains the most valuable artifacts, ranging from the history of the nomadic Serb people to the Uzbek Khanate, among which the most noteworthy is the Buddha statue from the site of Tirmez Fayaz Tepa, which is likely to have been worshipped by Xuanzang. In addition, there are frescoes of the palace of Anguo from the ruins of Bukhara Varakhsha, which bear witness to the prosperity of the Sogdian civilization. On the third floor, there is also an illustrated introduction to the Russian conquest of the Uzbek Khanates, especially the suppression of the Great uprising of the Khoand Khanate, which is the most somber history, and this history happens to connect with the history of the Agobo invasion of Xinjiang, which can be used as a supplement to the history of the modern Chinese border.

The Timur Museum

his is a special museum about the Timurid dynasty, which has a lot of introductions about the Timurid family, Timurid era culture, military related, but the quality of the artifacts is not high, most of them are replicas, as a museum to learn about history or barely pass. Among the more interesting artifacts are exotic blue and white porcelain and paintings with Chinese white painting techniques, which bear witness to the cultural exchange between Central Asia and China from the Chagatai Khanate to the Timurid dynasty

Uzbekistan National Museum of Art

Registan Square

"Registan" (Persian for "sand"), located in the center of Samarkand, is a large group of buildings built between the 15th and 17th centuries. The complex consists of three seminaries: on the left is the Seminary of Ulub (Ulub was a medieval emperor, scholar, astronomer, poet, and philosopher), built between 1417 and 1420; On the facade is the Diria-Cali seminary, built between 1646 and 1660; On the right is the Seminary of Sheldor (meaning lion), built between 1619 and 1636. These three buildings are tall and magnificent, imposing and magnificent, and there are magnificent mosques. The main entrance and colorful dome of the Theological Seminary were decorated with ceramic in various colors. After the earthquake, a new dome with a height of 13 meters and a diameter of 13 meters was rebuilt, and the construction materials were special metal structures.

These seminaries were places of learning for Muslim clerics in the Middle Ages. The Gurub Seminary was one of the best Muslim institutions in the 15th century. Gurub is said to have taught here himself, and it was the center of secular scientific thought during his reign. The three seminaries were built in different eras, but the combination of styles is quite successful, and is a masterpiece of medieval Central Asian architecture.

Woodlub Seminary

The Gurub Seminary was one of the finest Muslim institutions of learning in the 15th century. The seminary has an enclosed rectangular courtyard with a mosque at the back and four minarets at the corners.
