Introduction to Tiandi Square: The ancient emperors set up a round altar at the top of Mount Tai to worship the sky, and then set up a square altar at the bottom of the mountain to worship the earth, to show that "the sky is round and the place is round". Tiandi Plaza covers a total area of ​​35,000 square meters. It mainly includes square squares and circular squares (the square square has a side length of 36 meters and an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters; the circular square has a diameter of 108 meters and an area of ​​more than 10,000 square meters, all paved with Taishan granite). On both sides of the square connecting the passage, 12 dragon pillars with a height of 7.2 meters and a diameter of 0.9 meters are placed, indicating that 12 emperors from Qin Shihuang to Emperor Qianlong offered sacrifices to Mount Tai. In the center of the connecting passage, a 27-meter-long and 3-meter-wide relief sculpture with the content of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sealing Mount Tai was placed.
