Brief Description
"The Temple of Heaven, founded in the first half of the 15th century, is a dignified complex of fine cult buildings set in gardens and surrounded by historic pine woods. In its overall layout and that of its individual buildings, it symbolizes the relationship between earth and heaven – the human world and God's world – which stands at the heart of Chinese cosmogony, and also the special role played by the emperors within that relationship."
北京皇家祭坛—天坛
"天坛，建于15世纪上半叶，座落在皇家园林当中，四周古松环抱，是保存完好的坛庙建筑群。无论在整体布局还是单一建筑上，都反映出天地之间（即人神之间）的关系，而这一关系在中国古代宇宙观中占据着核心位置。同时，这些建筑还体现出帝王在这一关系中所起的独特作用。"
