As the largest of Beijing's imperial of religious building complexes, the Temple of Heaven is known for its rigorous symbolic layout, peculiar structure, and magnificent decoration. It is the most representative example of Chinese ritual architecture. Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties (from 1420 to 1900) worshiped the god of heaven and prayed for good harvests there.
The design of the main buildings is a combination of circles and squares, which symbolize the belief that Heaven is round and Earth square.
This massive scale model perfectly captures the Temple's vivid colors & iconic shapes as well as the surrounding staircase. A very unique piece indeed.
