What is the pattern on the Temple of Heaven?

The four "Longjing Columns" in the Temple of Heaven's Prayer Hall symbolize spring, summer, autumn and winter all year round. The twelve "golden pillars" in the middle symbolize the twelve months of the year; The twelve "eaves columns" on the periphery symbolize twelve hours a day. The middle layer and the outer layer add up to 24, symbolizing 24 solar terms a year. The total number of * * * 28 on the third floor symbolizes 28 stars in the sky.

Together with the eight copper pillars at the top of the pillars, there are 36 * * *, symbolizing the 36 highest days. In the middle of the floor of the temple is a round marble with a natural dragon and phoenix pattern, which echoes the dragon and phoenix and seal patterns drawn in gold at the top and around the temple. Lei Gongzhu under the Six Treasures symbolizes the emperor's "unification of the world".
