#Imperial Ancestral Temple
The Imperial Ancestral Temple was a place where emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties paid homage to their ancestors and offered sacrificial prayers when the country faced major incidents. It is by far one of the most well-preserved and large-scale building complexes used for ancestor worship practices by the imperial families. The building not only reflects the brilliant architectural skills of ancient Chinese but also embodies profound ritualistic ideas.
