Article	STRUCTURE OF THE MINGTANG TEMPLE IN CHINESE ARCHITECTURE
Authors	M. Shevchenko, Moscow Institute of Architecture (State Academy), Moscow, Russia
Abstract	Mingtang was the most important ritual structure of China. Its structure reflected the views on the ruler as a representative of Heaven, whose duties included the harmonization of all human things, in accordance with the Universe. The mingtang spatial structure expressed the concepts of the five primary elements, the principles of yin and yang, numerological perceptions of ancient China, described in the Confucian treatises. However, for all the time, a unified planning and spatial structure of mingtang was not developed. Depending on the interpretation of the ancient treatises during the rule of various emperors, various compositions of this structure appeared. The article shows the changes in the structure of the mingtang temple in China over the course of two millennia.
Keywords:	Mingtang temple, Chinese architecture, structure of the buildings, Confucianism
