  The Temple of Heaven architecture showcases the unique artistic expression techniques of symbolism and symbolism in ancient China. The scale and number of components of the circular mound are concentrated and the number "nine" is repeatedly used to symbolize "heaven" and emphasize the connection with "heaven". The Temple of Heaven's Prayer for Good Harvest Hall is designed in a circular shape and symbolizes the sky in blue. The main pillars and openings inside the hall are separated from the four seasons of the year, the twenty-four solar terms, the twelve months, and the twelve hours of the day (in ancient times, one day was divided into twelve hours, and each hour was combined for two hours), as well as the constellations symbolizing the sky, such as the constellations of Hengxing. The everywhere "Xiangtian Fadi" is the only surviving example of the ancient "Mingtang Fen" (a ceremonial building exclusively used by ancient Chinese emperors, everywhere Xiangtian Fadi) style architecture, which is a carrier of ancient Chinese culture.

  The Temple of Heaven represents the traditional cosmology of "heaven is round and earth is square" and symbolizes the "heavenly gift of kingship". The Temple of Heaven was the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties worshipped the Emperor and prayed for a good harvest, and its architectural layout and design reflect the reverence for the gods. The planes of the inner and outer walls of the Temple of Heaven show the form of north and south, symbolizing the concept of heaven and earth in the ancient Chinese universe. The main buildings, the Hall of Prayer for the Year of the Dragon, the Huanqiu Altar, the Imperial Vault, and the enclosing walls outside the Imperial Vault, all adopt a circular plan, also reflecting the symbolism of "heaven".

  The symbolic significance of the Temple of Heaven is the altar wall in the north and the south, and the design of the round building with the square exterior wall, all of which imply the traditional cosmological concept of "the sky is round and the place is round". And the extensive use of blue glazed tiles in the main buildings, as well as the Circular Mound Altar's emphasis on "Yang number", the Hall of Prayer for Good Years according to the "heaven" column design, is also the specific expression of the "heaven and man unity" this cosmological view.

  The Temple of Heaven symbolizes the cosmological view of the traditional concept of "heaven is round and earth", and also the symbol of "heavenly power". In ancient times, it was believed that the sky was round and the earth was square, so when the Temple of Heaven was built, two walls (walls) were built inside and outside the temple of Heaven, which showed the appearance of the north circle and the south in the overall layout of the building.
