论“天坛文化圈”

从北京不同的区域来看，由于地理位置的不同，各个区域所承载的文化内涵有异，于是人们将其分为不同的文化圈，比如“宣南文化圈”、“运河文化圈”、“永定河文化圈”、“长城文化圈”等。从明清以来，处于中轴线上的前门大街成为连结皇宫与天坛、先农坛的天街，并逐步形成了以祭天文化为核心，以商业文化、会馆文化、梨园戏曲文化、工艺美术文化为特色的繁华的街区文化。我们不妨将其称之为“天坛文化圈”。

On "Cultural Circle of the Temple of Heaven"

With a view of different geological location of the city districts in Beijing,each district cherishes the capital culture with different implications.The culture of the city therefore has been divided into different cultural circles,such as "Xuannan Cultural Circle","Yunhe Cultural Circle","Yongding River Cultural Circle","Great Wall Cultural Circle",etc.Ever since the Ming and Qing dynasties,the Qianman Street on the axis of the city linked the imperial palace to the Temple of Heaven and the Heaven Street of the Altar of the God of Agriculture.It has gradually established a colorful street culture of its own with the characteristics of its culture of worshiping Heaven,its commercial culture,its guild culture,Liyuan drama culture,and its culture of arts and crafts.We might call it "Cultural Circle of the Temple of Heaven".
