In architecture, the Temple of Heaven is distinctive with two themes: on the earth, and in the Heaven.

The 6-meter-high walls surrounding the temple take a square shape to the south and a semi-circular one to the north. The main buildings in the temple are circularly shaped. This pattern represents an ancient belief that heaven was round while earth square.
