Sixty Records of the Temple of Heaven
by Xiao Fuxing
About This Novel
The Temple of Heaven, a 600-year-old royal building, was once a place for worshiping heaven. Now it is a travel destination for many people and an inseparable part of the lives of old Beijingers. It is like an ancient pond, reflecting the daily life and life experiences of ordinary people one by one. The author used his opportunity to sketch at the Temple of Heaven to get close to them and record them. With simple and sincere words, he wrote about the beauty of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and the Shuanghuan Pavilion, as well as the outline of Beijing life here - the memories of the old Beijingers' long years, the worries and joys of the younger generation, and the protection of the Temple of Heaven by security guards and sanitation workers... It is these people's drive to live hard regardless of hardships and joys that gives the ancient Temple of Heaven new power.

The charm of the Temple of Heaven is very powerful, so it attracts people like the author to come here to paint or do other things, because they feel many things in the Temple of Heaven.
The Temple of Heaven may represent many things, and for the author, stepping into the Temple of Heaven means that he hopes his life will be meaningful, live deeply, and absorb all the essence of life, and the Temple of Heaven seems to be able to achieve these things.
Such a temple of heaven
The only time I went to the Temple of Heaven was more than ten years ago. Without any cultural background, what I saw was an empty Temple of Heaven. The author's bits and pieces of descriptions gradually enriched the Temple of Heaven in my heart. I highly recommend this book.
I feel that the relationship between the author and the Temple of Heaven is very deep. It seems that the author has been to the Temple of Heaven since he was a child. And every time the author goes to the Temple of Heaven, his feelings will be different every time.
