  As a place of worship, the Temple of Heaven has three characteristics: "shape", "color" and "number". In appearance, the Temple of Heaven is round to resemble the sky. In terms of color, the highest color grade of ancient Chinese architecture is yellow, followed by red, and then green. Yellow is generally the color that can only be used by the emperor, and the color of the Temple of Heaven surpasses the highest level of yellow, and most of them are topped with blue, because the Temple of Heaven is used to worship the sky, and the color of the sky is blue. In terms of "numbers", ancient China paid more attention to the hidden characteristics of numbers. The numbers of the Temple of Heaven are all around a "heaven" word, in the middle of the altar of the Huanqiu altar to worship the sky is a convex round stone called "Tianxin Stone", and the surrounding is laid with nine fan-shaped stones, because "nine" is the pole of the yang number, is the symbol of the sky. Another characteristic of "number" is that the circular building of the prayer hall is supported by two inner and outer pillars and four central pillars, the central four pillars symbolize the four seasons of the year, the inner circle of twelve pillars symbolizes the twelve months, the outer circle of twelve pillars symbolizes the twelve hours, the two circles add up to the twenty-four pillars symbolizing the twenty-four solar terms, plus the central four, the twenty-eight pillars symbolize the twenty-eight constellations.

  The Temple of Heaven represents the traditional cosmology of "round heaven and round earth", and also symbolizes "royal power bestowed by heaven". In ancient times, people believed that the sky was round and the earth was square, so the architectural layout of the Temple of Heaven presented a northern and southern appearance. In addition, the Temple of Heaven is also one of the most representative works among the many sacrificial buildings in China, and its design philosophy and layout reflect the traditional Chinese cosmology and the special role of the emperor.
