The only existing temple in China dedicated to the worship of emperors from all dynasties

"Temple of the Emperors of Successive Dynasties", also known as the Imperial Ancestral Temple, is located at No. 131, Fuchengmennei Street, Beijing. It is a royal temple from the Ming and Qing dynasties for worshipping the ancestors of the Chinese nation and emperors, meritorious statesmen, and famous generals from various dynasties. The temple was originally built in the 10th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming dynasty (1531), on the site of the former Bao'an Temple, and was rebuilt in the 7th year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing dynasty (1729). The temple faces south from the north and is grand in scale. The main building within the temple is the Jingde Chongsheng Hall, which is second only to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City in terms of its status. Inside the hall, there were originally eleven niches for the spirit tablets of emperors from various dynasties. On both sides of the great hall, there are stele pavilions containing one stele each inscribed by Emperors Yongzheng and Qianlong.
