  The Taishan Mountain was the only altar for Heaven-Earth worship during the early ages of classical China. The ceremony, almost the most important for the state, was conducted with grave piety. Even emperors, the only candidates for its priesthood, did not all have the chance to do the worship, a sacred deed which required the noblest majesty of the great king, whose rein was approved by the Heaven through auspicious revelations. Aristocrats of lower ranks were only allowed to worship at local mountains within their feudalities. In spite of all importance attached to the ceremony, the heavy cost incurred by almost every emperor who did this was something a prudent leader could not afford to ignore. Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty is one of the rulers who would rather curtail rituals. He believed an emperor was a noble leader if he made his people prosper and he would lose the allegiance of his subjects if he led his country into poverty and war. Worship was a rather irrelevant issue.

  The Temple of Heaven, also known as the "Tiantan" in Chinese, is a complex of religious buildings situated in Beijing, China. It is a masterpiece of Chinese architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Temple of Heaven was constructed during the Ming Dynasty (around 1406-1420) and was later expanded during the Qing Dynasty. The primary purpose of the Temple of Heaven was to serve as a sacred space for the emperor of China to perform religious rituals and ceremonies. The complex was specifically designed for the annual worship ceremonies known as the "Heavenly Rites" or "Ceremonial Worship of Heaven." These rituals were conducted to ensure a good harvest and to express gratitude to the heavenly deities for their blessings. The Temple of Heaven is characterized by its architectural symbolism, reflecting the cosmological beliefs of ancient Chinese thought. The layout of the complex is highly symbolic, with the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (Qiniandian) at the center, representing the connection between heaven and earth. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is a circular wooden structure with a three-tiered roof, symbolizing the heavens. Surrounding this central hall, there is the Circular Mound Altar (Yuanqiutan), where the emperor would make offerings to the heavens. The Altar is a circular platform with three tiers, representing the heavens, the earth, and humanity.
