The image shows a golden plaque mounted on a metal stand in the Forbidden City in Beijing, China (latitude: 39.877, longitude: 116.406). The plaque provides information about the "Circular Mound" (Yuanqiu), a site constructed in the ninth year of Emperor Jiajing's reign (1530) as a place for holding the ceremony of winter solstice worship. The plaque details how the site was originally known as the "Heaven-Worshiping Terrace," and was expanded in the 14th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1749). The text states that the site was designed to emphasize the supreme importance of "Nine Heavens" in Chinese culture.
