Research on the Changes of Beijing Central Axis and the Construction of Temples and Altars in the Ming Jiajing Period

A study reveals that the Beijing Central Axis, alongside surrounding temples and altars, embodies an ancient reverence for heaven and ancestors, promoting a harmonious urban space between humans and nature. This essence reflects the core of traditional Chinese culture. The research analyzes historical changes in the axis during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, as well as temple and altar constructions during the Ming Jiajing period, to understand their correlation and impact on urban layout. By reviewing historical records and architectural developments, the study underscores the cultural significance and spatial organization of Beijing's central axis.
