(1) The Temple of Heaven in Beijing is one of the accumulations of Chinese civilization.
The site selection, planning, architectural design, ceremony and music and dance of the Temple of Heaven are all based on the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements in China's ancient Book of Changes, which successfully demonstrated the ancients' understanding of "heaven" and "the relationship between man and nature" and their wishes to God.
All previous dynasties built altars to worship heaven. The Tiantan in Beijing is one of the two intact temples in China, and the other is the Temple of Heaven in Sui and Tang Dynasties in Xi 'an.
(2) The Temple of Heaven in Beijing shows the unique artistic expression of the ancient meaning and symbol of China.
The scale of the dome and the number of components are very concentrated, and the number "nine" is repeatedly used to symbolize "heaven" and emphasize the connection with "heaven".
The Hall of Prayer for the New Year in the Temple of Heaven is round and blue. Its pillars and bays separate the four seasons, the twenty-four solar terms, twelve months and twelve hours a day (twelve hours a day in ancient times, each hour is two hours) and constellations symbolizing the stars in the sky.
Everywhere "like heaven and earth" is the only remaining example of the ancient "Tang Ming" (a sacrificial building dedicated to the ancient emperors of China, which looks like heaven and earth everywhere), and it is the carrier of the ancient culture of China.
(3) The Temple of Heaven in Beijing, which integrates ancient philosophy, history, mathematics, mechanics, aesthetics and ecology, is a masterpiece among ancient masterpieces.
