Tiantan Park (15)

The Temple of Heaven in Beijing is located in the southeast of the former outer city of Beijing, east of the due south of the Forbidden City and east of Zhengyangmen. Built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420), it is the place where emperors of the ancient Ming and Qing Dynasties in China sacrificed to heaven. This complex is the place where the emperor worships heaven. It created a symbolic connection to strengthen Confucius' social hierarchy. With a total area of 273 hectares, it is a building used by emperors in Ming and Qing Dynasties to "worship heaven" and "pray for the valley". 196 1 year, the State Council announced the Temple of Heaven as "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit"; 1998 was recognized as a "world cultural heritage" by UNESCO; In 2009, the Temple of Heaven in Beijing was selected by world record association of China as the largest existing emperor worship building in China. [ 1]

The Temple of Heaven in Beijing covers an area of 2.72 million square meters, while the Forbidden City covers an area of only 720,000 square meters, about four times that of the Forbidden City. There are two walls to form an inner altar and an outer altar. The main buildings are the Hall of Prayer for the New Year, the Royal Dome and the mound. The dome is built on the north-south longitudinal axis, and the altar wall is round in the south and round in the north, which symbolizes the circle. The ball altar is in the south, the valley prayer altar is in the north, and the two altars are on the same north-south axis, separated by a wall. The main buildings of the ball altar are the ball altar and the imperial dome, and the main buildings of the valley prayer altar are the hall of prayer for the new year, the palace and the door of prayer for the new year. The Hall for Praying for the New Year was built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420), formerly known as the Great Sacrifice Hall, and is a rectangular hall. The Hall of Prayer for the Year is 38.2 meters high and 24.2 meters in diameter, symbolizing the stars of the four seasons, December, twelve o'clock and Sunday respectively. It is the only existing Tang Ming-style ancient architectural complex and the main building of the Temple of Heaven. Waqiu was built in Jiajing nine years in Ming Dynasty. Every winter solstice, a "ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven" will be held on the stage, which is called "platform of offering sacrifices to heaven". The echo wall is the round wall of the Temple of Heaven. Because the wall is hard and smooth, it is a good reflector of sound waves, and because of the precise circumferential curvature, sound waves can be continuously reflected along the inner surface of the wall and spread forward.

Beijing Temple of Heaven (2 1)

According to historical records, there were formal activities of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth in ancient China, which can be traced back to 2000 BC and still existed in Xia Dynasty. The ancient emperor of China called himself "the son of heaven" and was very devout to heaven and earth. Every emperor in history regarded offering sacrifices to heaven and earth as a very important political activity. Sacrificial architecture occupies an important position in the construction of the Imperial Capital, and it must be built with the highest technical level and the most perfect art by concentrating manpower, material resources and financial resources. The Temple of Heaven, built in the late feudal society, is the most representative work among many sacrificial buildings in China. The Temple of Heaven is not only a pearl in China's ancient architecture, but also a treasure in the history of world architecture. The Temple of Heaven was built in the 18th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (1420), and it was built at the same time as the Forbidden City where Judy served for fourteen years. In the 9th year of Jiajing (1530), it was renamed the Temple of Heaven in the 13th year of Jiajing (1534) because of the system of offering sacrifices to the four suburbs respectively. The pattern of Tiantan Park was formed after the reconstruction of Emperor Qianlong and Guangxu.

In the early Ming dynasty, heaven and earth were worshiped together, and the altars in the northern and southern suburbs were worshipped together. The place where the sacrifice is held is called Dasitang, which is a square building with eleven rooms. In the 9th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1530), heaven and earth were separated, and a dome altar was built in the Temple of Heaven to worship heaven, and another Fangze altar was built in the northern suburb. The magnificent temples originally dedicated to heaven and earth were gradually abandoned. In the 19th year of Jiajing (1540), the original big sacrifice hall was changed into a big pleasure hall, and a circular building began.

Temple of Heaven (18)

After the Qing court entered the customs, everything was still in accordance with the old system of the Ming Dynasty. During the Qianlong period, the national strength was strong and the Temple of Heaven was built. In the twelfth year of Qianlong (1747), the emperor decided to rebuild the inner and outer walls of the Temple of Heaven, changing the earth wall into city bricks, and wrapping two layers of city bricks from the middle to the top. The width of the top of the inner altar wall is reduced to 4 feet 8 inches, and there are no eaves columns, making it a hanging gallery without colonnade. After the reconstruction, the inner and outer walls of the Temple of Heaven are thicker, and the GAI is more than ten miles long, making it a magnificent scenery. The main buildings of the Temple of Heaven, such as the Hall for Praying for the New Year, the Imperial Palace and the Dome, were also rebuilt at this time and have been preserved to this day.

The Temple of Heaven in Beijing has been selected as a world cultural heritage. Beijing Tiantan was listed in the World Heritage List on 1998 according to the cultural heritage selection criteria C(I)(II)(III).

World Heritage Committee's evaluation of the Temple of Heaven;

Built in the first half of15th century, the Temple of Heaven in Beijing is a well-preserved temple complex, located in the royal garden and surrounded by Gu Song. Whether in the overall layout or in the single building, it embodies the relationship between heaven and earth, which occupies a core position in China's ancient world outlook. At the same time, these buildings also reflect the unique role played by the emperor and the prince in this relationship.

Reasons for world heritage

(1) The Temple of Heaven is one of the accumulations of Chinese civilization.

The site selection, planning, architectural design, ceremony, 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 ancient people's understanding of "heaven" and "the relationship between man and nature" and their desire for God. Throughout the ages, altars were built to worship heaven, and the Temple of Heaven in Beijing is the only one that is intact and is a masterpiece of the ancients.

Temple of Heaven

(2) The architecture of the Temple of Heaven 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, with four seasons, twenty-four solar terms, twelve months and twelve hours in a day (twelve hours a day in ancient times, each hour is two hours) and constellations symbolizing the sky, such as stars. 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 is an ancient masterpiece integrating ancient philosophy, history, mathematics, mechanics, aesthetics and ecology.

Temple of Heaven is a masterpiece of architectural technology and art in architectural design and construction in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Hall for Praying for the New Year and the Imperial Palace are halls with wooden components, which are round in plane, huge in shape, exquisite in craftsmanship and ingenious in conception. They are rare examples in ancient Chinese architecture. The Temple of Heaven has also created an ecological environment of "harmony between man and nature", with a large forest area and rich vegetation. It is a physical object for studying ancient architectural art and ecological environment, which is of great scientific value and an outstanding model in royal altar architecture. The Hall of Praying for the New Year, the composition center to the north of the central axis of the building, is magnificent and exquisite in structure. The inner space rises layer by layer and gathers towards the center, and the circular eaves of the outer abutment contract layer by layer, which not only causes strong upward movement, but also makes people feel dignified and steady. The color contrast is strong, but it is very harmonious. Making people step into the altar is like stepping on auspicious clouds to ascend to heaven. From the whole to the part, the Temple of Heaven is a masterpiece of ancient architecture and craftsmanship, which is of great artistic value. It is the remains and carrier of Chinese ideology and culture in a long historical period. The Temple of Heaven is a materialized ancient philosophical thought with high historical value, scientific value, unique artistic value and profound cultural connotation. There are one, two, three and four criteria for its inclusion in the world cultural heritage list: it will be more beneficial to protect the Temple of Heaven as an artistic masterpiece with outstanding world value.

The location of the Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven is divided into an inner altar and an outer altar by a double altar wall, which looks like the word "Hui". The south corner of the double altar wall is a right angle, and the north corner is an arc, symbolizing "a round place". The circumference of the outer altar wall is 6553 meters. It turns out that the Western Wall only opened the Valley Gate and the Autumn Gate. After 1949, the east gate and the north gate were built one after another, and Zhao Hengmen in the south of the inner altar was changed to the south gate.

The perimeter of the altar wall in the Temple of Heaven is 41.52m, and there are six gates, namely, East Gate, North Gate and West Gate, while the south gate of the Ball Hall has Taiyuan Gate, Zhao Heng Gate and Guangli Gate. The main buildings are concentrated in the inner altar. In the south, there are Oahu Altar and Royal Dome, and in the north, there are the Hall of Praying for the New Year and the Hall of Emperor Gan. The two parts are separated by a partition wall. A "single bridge" (brick walkway) with a length of 360 meters, a width of 28 meters and a height of 2.5 meters connects the Oahu Island altar and the valley prayer altar, forming the north-south axis of the inner altar.

Then you can get a broad vision to feel the greatness of heaven and your own smallness. As far as single buildings are concerned, the Hall for Praying for the New Year and the Royal Hall both adopt circular pyramid roofs, and their external bases and eaves shrink layer by layer.

Lift also embodies a feeling of being close to the sky.

The Temple of Heaven also displays the unique meaning and symbolic expression of China traditional culture everywhere. The altar wall and outer wall in the south of the North Circle are square and circular architectural design, which symbolizes the traditional world view of "the sky is round and the place is round". The widespread use of blue glazed tiles in major buildings, as well as the "Yang Shu" in the altar and the design of columns in the Hall of Prayer for the New Year are also concrete manifestations of this expression.

Waqiutan

Qiu Qiu altar, also known as Tiantan altar and Tiantai altar, is an open-air three-story circular stone altar where the emperor worships heaven from winter to the sun. It was built in the 9th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1530) and expanded in the 14th year of Qingganlong (1749). The altar is 534 meters in circumference and 5.2 meters in height. Divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. The number of columns and steps on each floor is Yang (also called "Tian", that is, a multiple of nine), which means "Ninth Five-Year Plan". The surface of the altar is made of mugwort bluestone. Except that the stone in the center is round, the outer circle of the altar is fan-shaped and the figures are positive. Each floor has a white marble fence post, which is a multiple of 9. The circular slate in the center of the top floor is called the sun stone or the Tianxin stone. When you stand on it and shout or knock, the sound waves will be reflected by the nearby fence, forming a significant echo.

In ancient China, odd numbers were called positive numbers and even numbers were called negative numbers. In yang number, the number 9 is "the pole of yang number", which means the highest and largest celestial body and is called "heaven". The ancients thought that nine was the pole of yang number, indicating the highest to the maximum, and the emperor was the son of heaven, which was also the highest to the maximum, so the whole world used multiples of nine to express the authority of the son of heaven. The number of columns and steps on the fence of the ball altar is 9 or multiples of 9 everywhere. The outer layer of the round slate at the top is 9 layers of fan-shaped stone. There are 9 stones in the innermost layer, and 9 stones are added to each outward layer, as are the middle and lower layers. The number of three-layer railings is 72 in the upper layer, 0/08 in the middle layer and 0/80 in the lower layer, for a total of 360 days. The total diameter of the three-layer altar surface is 45 feet, which is not only a multiple of 9, but also implies the meaning of "Ninth Five-Year Plan".

There are two walls outside the ball altar, an inner ring and an outer ring, and a star gate on each side. It is estimated that there are three lampstands in the southwest corner (only two in the north and south), and there are firewood stoves, pits, burners and service tables in the southeast corner. On the east side of the altar, there are also ancillary buildings such as the God Library, the God Chef, the Sacrificial Pavilion, the Sacrificial Vessel Library, the Musical Instrument Library, and the Brown Building Library.

Imperial vault

Imperial vault

To the north of the dome is the royal vault. The courtyard of the imperial vault is located on the north side of the outer branch of the dome, facing south, with a circular wall. There are three glass doors in the south. The main buildings are the imperial vault and the east-west annex hall, which is a place to worship the dome. The dais for worshipping heaven are all stored here. Built in the 9th year of Jiajing (1530), it was originally named Taimiao. In the seventeenth year (1538), it was renamed the imperial treasury. In the seventeenth year of Qianlong (1752), it was transformed into a pyramid-shaped building with single eaves. The roof was gilded and covered with blue glazed tiles, symbolizing the blue sky. The main hall is15.6m in diameter and19.02m in height. Supported by eight gold pillars and eight eaves pillars, the caisson of three-layer ceiling is assembled layer by layer, and the structure is exquisite. In the center of the hall, there is a circular stone platform carved with white marble, which is dedicated to the memorial tablet of the "God of the Emperor", and each side enjoys the memorial tablet of the ancestors of the Emperor. There are halls in the main hall, which are dedicated to the memorial tablets of gods such as the sun, moon, stars, clouds, rain, thunder and lightning. The whole temple looks like a circular pavilion, located on the base of the white marble Mount Sumi, which is more than 2 meters high, and surrounded by stone guardrails. In addition, on the stone slab road from the front of the palace to the middle of the gate, the three stone slabs from north to south are called Sanyin Stone. When the doors and windows of the imperial vault are closed and there are no obstacles nearby, standing on the first slate and clapping your hands can hear an echo; High-five on the second slate, you can hear two echoes; High-five on the third slate and you can hear three echoes.

Echo walls are the walls of the imperial vault. The wall is 3.72m high, 0.9m thick, 61.5m in diameter and193.2m in circumference. The wall is made of brick on the ground, with blue glazed tiles on it. The radian of the fence is very regular, the wall is extremely smooth and tidy, and the refraction of sound waves is also very regular. As long as two people stand behind the east and west annex halls respectively, stick to the wall, and one person speaks to the north wall, the sound waves will continue to refract along the wall and reach the other end of one or two hundred meters. No matter how small the voice is, it can also make the other party hear clearly. The voice is long and interesting, giving people a mysterious atmosphere of "the connection between heaven and man". So it is called "Echo Wall".

Hall of Prayer for the New Year [in Beijing]

Hall of Prayer for the New Year [in Beijing]

The Hall of Prayer for the Year is located in the north of the Temple of Heaven, also known as the Hall of Prayer for the Year. It was originally called the Great Hall of Prayer and the Great Hall of Pleasure. Built in the 18th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (1420), it is the earliest building in the Temple of Heaven. After the renovation in the 16th year of Qianlong (175 1), it was renamed the Hall of Praying for the New Year. In the fifteenth year of Guangxu (1889), it was destroyed by thunder and fire, and it was rebuilt as before a few years later. Today's Hall of Prayer for the New Year is a circular building with a diameter of 32.72 meters. Gold-plated blue tiles, pyramid-shaped roof with triple eaves, layers of collection, with a total height of 38 meters.

The seat of the Hall of Prayer for the Year is a circular altar of the Valley of Prayer for the Year, which is 6 meters high and has three floors. There are low walls around the altar, and firewood stoves, mounds, stoves and service tables are set in the southeast corner. In the north of the altar, there is Huang Gan Hall, which is five rooms wide. Originally, the ancestral tablets were placed, but later they moved to the ancestral temple. Next to the altar, there are ancillary buildings such as the door for praying for the new year, the god library, the god chef, the sacrificial pavilion, the sacrificial road and the promenade. There is a seven-star stone in the square to the south of the promenade, which was placed in Jiajing period.

The main building of the Temple of Heaven is the Hall of Praying for the New Year, which was built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420). Every year, the emperor held a ceremony to worship heaven here, praying for good weather and good harvests. The Hall of Prayer for the New Year is circular, with a diameter of 32 meters and a height of 38 meters. This is an rotunda with triple eaves and a gilded roof. The eaves are dark blue and covered with blue glazed tiles, because the sky is blue and symbolizes the sky.

The architectural excellence of the Hall of Prayer for the New Year is that it is supported by 28 nanmu columns and 36 interconnected table rafters. These big pillars have different symbolic meanings: the four pillars in the middle are called Tian Tongzhu, representing the four seasons; Twelve gold pillars in the middle layer represent twelve months; Twelve eaves columns on the outer layer represent twelve o'clock; Twenty-four solar terms are expressed by adding the middle layer and the outer layer; The three layers add up to 28, representing 28 stars; Add eight sub-columns at the top of the column, representing thirty-six days; The Leigong column under the top of the treasure represents the emperor's unification of the whole country. Its ancillary buildings include the Imperial Palace, the gate for praying for the New Year, the God Library, the God Chef, the sacrificial pavilion, the wood stove, the coffin pit, the service platform, the sacrificial road and 72 long corridors. There is a seven-star stone in the square to the south of the promenade, engraved with mountain-shaped moire, which was placed in the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty.

This hall is located on a circular white marble pedestal, covering an area of over 5,900 square meters. The base is divided into three layers and is 6 meters high. Each floor has carved white marble railings. This platform and the main hall are an inseparable artistic whole. When tourists walk out of the gate of the New Year's Prayer Hall and look south, they see a straight tunnel, which extends all the way south. The porches along the way are heavy, and the farther you go, the more endless you can see, and there is a feeling of falling from the sky. No wonder a French architectural expert said after visiting the Temple of Heaven: skyscrapers are much higher than the Hall of Prayer for the Year, but they are not as tall and deep as the Hall of Prayer for the Year, and they cannot reach the artistic height of the Hall of Prayer for the Year. This temple was destroyed by lightning in 1889 (the 15th year of Guangxu reign). It is said that at that time, the pillars of the hall were made of Daphne, and when they burned, they could smell delicious for miles away. The following year, the emperor called ministers to discuss the reconstruction of the Hall of Prayer for the New Year. Unable to find the pattern, the Ministry of Industry, which is in charge of national construction affairs, called the craftsmen who had participated in the restoration of the Hall of Prayer for the Year, and asked them to make the pattern according to memory and dictation before construction. Therefore, the Hall of Prayer for the New Year was built in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, but the basic architectural form and structure still retain the appearance of the Ming Dynasty.

Sacrificial procedure

① Meeting the Emperor: After changing into sacrificial clothes from the service platform on the southeast side outside Chaoxiangmen (south gate), the emperor entered the dome altar from the left gate and went to worship in the middle stage. On this tour, anyone who accompanied the deacon to worship the official, such as crying, coughing, laughing and making trouble in the altar and temple, regardless of the imperial clan, Jue Luo, ministers and officials, called the roll. "Therefore, all people who have sacrificed are afraid. For example, on the sixth day of April in Qianlong's forty-seventh year, he went to the ball altar to hold a routine rain-seeking ceremony. Three things made him dissatisfied and punished some officials. Dissatisfied with the untidy writing on the altar. Dissatisfied with changing clothes with dressing table, the mattress set is not neat enough. If you are dissatisfied with the regulations, you should hang three sky lanterns and one less. For these three trifles, Qianlong flew into a rage and ordered an investigation. As a result, Luo, Minister of Industry Nomuqin, Right Assistant Minister Debao and Assistant Minister Deming were all dismissed. In particular, Ji Xu, assistant minister of industry, received the most severe punishment and was sent to Xinjiang after being dismissed. At the same time, relevant officials were also "identified and dismissed, and sent to Yili to atone".

This is because the greening of the Temple of Heaven is mainly grass, which can not provide enough shade in summer, and it is easy to get heatstroke after long exposure; It's too cold to go in winter. But there is an advantage of going in winter, that is, you can use this cold time to experience the effects of those acoustic buildings (three-tone stone, echo wall, etc.) ) In the Temple of Heaven. Of course, no matter what season it is, if you want to appreciate those ancient buildings carefully, you'd better go early.
