How to shoot a single bridge?

There is a royal road more than 300 meters long behind the imperial vault, which is called the single pen bridge.

Located in front of the Hall of Prayer for the New Year in Tiantan Park, the single bridge, also known as Haiyuan Avenue, is a huge and long masonry platform with a length of 360 meters and a width of 30 meters. It was built in the 18th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (1420). It is called a bridge because there are two culverts under it. The single-stroke bridge runs north and south, with its southern end slightly higher than the ground and its northern end more than 4.5 meters higher than the ground. It is connected with the Cheng Zhen Gate in the south of Waqiu and the brick gate in the south of Guqi Altar in the north.

The dome and the Hall of Prayer for the New Year are integrated to form the main axis of the Temple of Heaven. The single bridge in the Temple of Heaven is connected with the prayer altar in the north and the dome altar in the south, which is low in the south and high in the north. The single-stroke bridge is flat and wide, with a white stone in the middle, and the surface of the stone is slightly raised upward in an arc shape. In the past, this road was the road that Shenyu passed, and it was called Shinto. There were brick ridges around Shen Dao for emperors and ministers to walk.

At present, every year from New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the first month (from February 6th to 1 1), a total of 288 people take part in this large-scale cultural performance, which lasts for 90 minutes. Among them, the performance of "Sacrificing Heaven for Honor" was held in Danbiqiao, the performance of "Sacrificing Heaven for Joy and Dancing" was held in the courtyard of the Hall of Prayer for the New Year, and the performance of "Ancient Music Art of the Temple of Heaven" was held in Ningxi Hall of the Divine Music Department.

The exhibition activities followed the original appearance of the "Sacrifice to Heaven" ceremony in the Qing Dynasty as far as possible in terms of costume props and etiquette regulations. In order to declare this activity as an intangible cultural heritage, the Park Management Office made a further study on the contents of sacrificial music, flags and ritual vessels.
