Shejitan: Explore the Ancient Imprints of the Nation

When you come to Beijing, you can't miss Shejitan! This temple, with its thousand-year history, is like a three-dimensional history book, quietly telling the stories of the past. As you step into Shejitan, the first thing that catches your eye is the simple and solemn altar wall, with red walls and yellow tiles shining brightly in the sunlight. The central altar is made of five-colored soil: blue, red, white, black, and yellow, symbolizing the different directions of the vast land and the integrity and unity of the country. Standing on the altar, you can almost feel the ancient emperors' earnest prayers for the country. The ancient cypress trees surrounding the altar are lush and green, having witnessed the changes of dynasties over the years. Passing through the Ji Gate, you can see the magnificent worship hall, with its carved beams and painted rafters, showcasing the grandeur of the royal family. As you stroll through the temple, the gentle breeze carries your thoughts far away. Whether you're interested in history or looking for a quiet place in the bustling city, Shejitan is an excellent choice. Come and embark on this cultural journey full of ancient charm and explore the ancient imprints of the nation!
