🎧  Listen to Introduction

The Temple of Heaven was built in the first half of the 15th century. It is a stately complex of exquisite sacrificial buildings set in gardens and surrounded by a historic pine forest. The overall layout of the Temple of Heaven and the arrangement of its individual buildings symbolize the relationship between heaven and earth (between humans and gods) that is central to Chinese cosmology, and the special role that the emperor played in this relationship.
