The Temple of Heaven or the Altar of Heaven is located in a vast park in the south of Beijing. Here, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty conducted a solemn ritual ceremony, offering sacrifices as a mediator between heaven and earth to beg the favor of the gods for the next harvest. The religion that goes with it is Daoism. At the same time, of course, this bond with heaven was also the legitimation of their reign.
The temple complex consists of the large circular hall where prayers were said for the good harvest, the hall of imperial abstinence (the emperor had to fast for 3 days before taking part in the ceremony), the open altar of heaven, and some outbuildings.
