Inside the Temple of Heaven. It is entirely built of wood without using a single nail. It is supported by 28 pillars. At the center, the four huge columns, known as Dragon Well pillars, represent the four seasons, while the other 24 smaller pillars symbolize the months in a year plus the two-hour time periods in a day.
