How do early risers live a double life? 2r unlocks the Royal Temple without people

Long-term sleep disorders have caused me to always sleep half as much as others
Instead of worrying about why you don’t sleep enough, it’s better to do more meaningful things when you are awake.

Go feel life, feel spring 🌱
So at 7 o'clock in the morning, we arrived at the Beijing Workers' Cultural Palace next to the Forbidden City.
2 yuan ticket, no reservation required early in the morning
Locate the ticket office of the Cultural Palace 📍You will pass by the moat of the Forbidden City
There are green willow trees along the way. It is the season of spring flowers blooming.
There are a large number of ancient trees in the park, and the magnolias are also blooming beautifully🌸
There are basically no tourists at this time, and you can secretly watch the soldiers training.

You can enter the Temple of Heaven at 9 o'clock for a visit, 15r, it's worth it
🏯The Imperial Ancestral Temple was the place for ancestor worship during the Ming and Qing dynasties
It sounds scary to say
But the feeling when you walk in is very quiet and comfortable
The main hall is dedicated to the emperor's ancestors.
-
🛕There are side halls on the east and west sides, where princes and ministers are enshrined. The so-called "enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple" means that after death, one will be enshrined in the side halls on the east and west sides, which means there will be endless incense.

🪵68 pillars supporting the main hall
They are all whole pieces of golden nanmu wood, and they are all thousand-year-old ancient wood. There is a folk legend that one piece is worth 2.8 billion yuan.
🧱The gold bricks under your feet are actually the homonym of Beijing bricks. Legend has it that the production process is complicated and the transportation cost is high. They are bricks specially supplied to the royal family in the Forbidden City in Beijing. When you knock them, they make a sound of gold and stone.

🚴‍♀️After the visit, you can ride a bicycle to Dashilan to have breakfast before going to work. After 10 o'clock, there is already a long queue in front of the Temple of Heaven. You need a mainland China ID card and a bag to go through security check to enter the park. It is recommended that you prepare in advance.
-
📺 If you want to know more about the Temple of Heaven
I recommend CCTV's "If Ancient Buildings Could Talk" "The Thousand Years of Family and Country" and "The Storms of Taimiao", which contain popular science about ancestral temple architecture, and can help you better understand the ancient sacrificial culture, such as why sacrificial vessels were made in that shape, how to tell the level of a building through the roof, how brackets are divided into levels, etc.
