The siting of the Temple of Heaven reflects the ancient Chinese cultural tradition of setting "sacrificial facilities in the southern suburb." Its location, planning pattern, and symmetrical east-west layout with the Altar of the God of Agriculture highlight the respect for and emphasis on rituals and order in Chinese capital city planning. They also give prominence to the dominant role of Beijing Central Axis in urban planning. The Temple of Heaven is China's largest and best-preserved Ming and Qing era building complex for heaven-worshiping ceremonies. Its architectural and landscape design exhibits the ancient Chinese worldview, making it a masterpiece of imperial architecture for ceremonial worship in ancient China and a carrier of national heaven-worshiping rituals and cultural traditions of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
