Dear tourists, how are you? I'm your guide. You can call me Liu Dao. Whatwe're going to visit today is the temple of heaven, the place where the emperorworshiped heaven.
Emperor Yongle of the Ming dynasty built the altar for heaven worship inthe south of Beijing, imitating the Great Hall of worship in Nanjing. The mainbuilding is the Great Hall of worship, which is the location of today's Hall ofpraying for new year. The temple of heaven has outer wall and inner wall. It isround in the north and square in the south.
Now we are going south along the central axis of the temple of heaven. Whatwe are going to see is the Circular Mound Altar where the ancient emperorsoffered sacrifices to heaven. There are two enclosure walls in the round hill,which make the outside square and the inside round, in line with the statementthat the sky is round and the place is round. What needs to be mentioned inparticular is that the place where the emperor stood was the Tianxin stone inthe center of the mesa. He is one of the three acoustic phenomena in the templeof heaven. When reading aloud here, the voice is particularly loud, and now it'sthe same here. You tourists may as well experience the strange effect, and likethe emperor of that year, tell God your good wishes.
As you may have noticed just now, there are many cypress trees in thetemple of heaven. Yes, it's like a natural oxygen bar in Beijing. Among theseancient cypresses, there is a cypress over 500 years old, which is the ninedragon cypress outside the west wall of echo wall. Its trunk texture is verystrange, full of ravines, and twisted, like nine dragons winding around playing,so it is not too much to call it Jiulong cypress. Please don't climb trees. Payattention to your words and deeds. This is a sacred place. We should keep aquiet mind,
After liberation, the temple of heaven has not only become a famous touristattraction, but also an integral part of Beijing's urban green space. Not onlytourists come here, but also some elderly people who are specially for physicalfitness.
Today's tour is over. I hope this tour can make you remember and leave adeep memory in your heart.
I hope you will come again next time.
