SeniioyThe Temple of Heaven symbolizes the traditional concept of a "round sky and a place" universe, and is also a symbol of "royal power bestowed by heaven". In ancient times, it was believed that the sky was round and the earth was square. Therefore, during the construction of the Temple of Heaven, two walls (enclosures) were built inside and outside the temple, presenting a north round and south like overall architectural layout. The Temple of Heaven has two walls, forming the inner and outer altars. The main buildings of the Temple of Heaven are concentrated at the north and south ends of the central axis of the inner altar. From south to north, they are the Circular Altar, the Imperial Vault, the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest, and the Hall of Emperor Qianlong. The Circular Altar is located in the south, and the Temple of Prayer for Good Harvest is located in the north. The two altars are on the same north-south axis, separated by a wall in the middle. The southern wall of the Temple of Heaven presents a square shape, symbolizing the earth, while the northern wall presents a semi-circular shape, symbolizing the sky. Therefore, it is often said that the northern and southern walls of the Temple of Heaven represent the meaning of "the sky is round and the place is round". The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest, the Circular Altar, the Imperial Vault, and the surrounding walls all adopt a circular plan, covered with sky blue tiles, reflecting the symbolic significance of "heaven". -
