Cryptocurrency travel to Chinese culture: Visit Palace Museum and Temple of Heaven
Description of the
sights of China brings
us to the idea of an encyclopedia. In this country there are so many remarkable
places that are interesting for tourists that talking about a short list is
even somehow offensive. The names of the sights of China include museums and
temples, both Buddhist and other religions and faiths. These are whole streets
and cities, areas and natural parks, mountains and bays, rivers and deserts.
These are gorges and rocks of an unusual shape, these are temples hanging on
the rocks, and bridges of a futuristic look.
The Palace Museum
Housing over
690,000 artefacts, the National Palace
Museum in Taipei is a treasure trove of Chinese culture. Evacuated from
the Forbidden City to Taiwan in 1948 amidst the panic of the Chinese Civil War,
the collection provides an in-depth view of the beauty of Chinese history from
the Neolithic to the modern era.
The National Palace
Museum, founded in 1965 in the Shilin district of Taipei, Taiwan,
currently houses over 690,000 artefacts from the Neolithic to the modern era
with the majority of the items coming from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing
dynasties. The collection covers over 8,000 years of Chinese history, and is
the largest collection of ancient Chinese artefacts and artworks in the world.
Temple of Heaven
The Temple of Heaven Park,
Tiantan in Chinese, is located in the Dongcheng District, Beijing. It is the
largest and most representative existing masterpiece among China's ancient
sacrificial buildings. Originally, the Temple of Heaven was the place where
emperors of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) and Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) held
the Heaven Worship Ceremony. First built in 1420, the 18th year of the reign of
Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644), the Temple of Heaven was enlarged
and rebuilt during the reigns of the Ming emperor Jiajing and the Qing emperor
Qianlong. In 1988, it was opened to the public as a park, showing ancient
philosophy, history and religion. Its grand architectural style and profound
cultural connotation give an insight into the practices of the ancient Eastern
civilization.
