Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Inside the Temple of Heaven at the China Pavilion, Epcot Orlando, Florida. This three-tiered, circular Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest is just a half scale reproduction of its original counterpart, nevertheless, as equally wonderful and spectacular reproduction of the Temple of Heaven complex that is located near Beijing China.
Many of its architectural details, both inside and out, bear important significance to the Chinese people. Inside the hall, there are 12 outer columns supporting the roof which represent the 12 months of the year and the 12-year cycle of the Chinese calendar. Closer to the centre of the room are 4 columns representing the four seasons. These columns support a beam, representing Earth, which is topped by a round beam, signifying Heaven. In order to depict the intricate tile work patterns of the original Temple of Heaven, artisans screen printed hundreds of exact replications of its detailed patterns and then painstakingly interpreted onto each and every tile at Epcot. |
