message: I feel that Tian Tan does not warrant the "Wonder of the World" tag, and category, as it does not appear as such on any such list I have been able to find. --Shannonr 11:01, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: Changing image to Wikimedia Commons 'TempleofHeaven-HallofPrayer.jpg' due to no copywrite being on the current image, this one is of higher quality and resolution but perhaps a less majestic view.. revert if needed. --Aika 22:44, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
If I have some pictures of this site, how would I go about making them available? 98.214.145.109 (talk) 10:41, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

message: For such an important and central location as the Temple of Heaven in China, it is amazing how little information there is on the rituals and beliefs relating to the site.  There is obviously something missing.  Where are the books or texts which describe the rituals that were practiced there?  If this is a major site of Chinese religion, where is a description of what took place there?  What religion was practiced there?  Details?  Links?  Sources?
:The actual practices are not actually related to a religion, as one may say, but rituals done to honor the heavens (by the emperor,) hence its name. The rituals are quite simple. Kneeling, bowing, and burning incense (amongst other common actions of respect) are done. This temple was made because of the Chinese belief of the "mandate of heaven." In terms of Chinese history, it, and its affiliated beliefs, is not actually a religion, but more like a respect given, like one given to parents. This could be said to derive from Taoism and Confucianism, which are actually not religions, but more of moral guidelines or philosophies. Akira2 (talk) 00:23, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I translated the relevant content from Chinese Wikipedia zh:天坛. On the website of the Tiantan Park, I found more materials so I added a footnote there. However I feel that further verification is needed. Can anyone find more citations for this part? Waltigs (talk) 06:49, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I feel that the information given about the surrounding park was lacking a lot of information. What is their to do with the surrounding park? Was the park used for anything ceremonial in the past?

message: Echo Wall is one the most famous site in the Temple of Heaven, so we should definitely add more detail to it. For example, explain the science behind it, and what it is for.MZ2160 (talk) 03:40, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
