Through a review of the historical changes in the Beijing Central Axis during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, as well as the construction and renovation of temples and altars in Beijing during the Ming Jiajing period, this study analyzes the correlation between the two and the impact on the urban layout. The conclusion drawn is that the Beijing Central Axis, together with the surrounding temples and altars, constitutes an ancient reverence for heaven and ancestors, advocating a harmonious urban space between humans and nature. This essence reflects the core of traditional Chinese culture.
