The altar is round in the north and square in the south, implying that "the sky is round and the place is square". The whole altar is divided into two parts, the inner altar and the outer altar, with a total area of 273 hectares. The temple of heaven was first built in 1420, the 18th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty. It was added and rebuilt by Jiajing in Ming Dynasty and Qianlong in Qing Dynasty. After the founding of new China, the state invested a lot of money in the protection and maintenance of the temple of heaven. With its profound cultural connotation and magnificent architectural style, the temple of heaven has become a portrayal of the ancient oriental civilization. The temple of heaven is a collection of architectural skills of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is a treasure of ancient Chinese architecture and the world's largest architectural complex for worshiping heaven. In 1998, it was recognized as "world cultural heritage" by UNESCO.
