天坛修建原因，要英语的，不要介绍词，稍微简短一些
The Chinese have a long history of worshipping heaven. Because the rulers of the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th Century-771 BC) claimed that they were empowered by heaven, the worship of heaven was continued by almost all state rulers as a way to uphold their right of administration.
After Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, established his rule in Nanjing, he ordered a circular mound altar built on the southern slope of Zhongshan Mountain to worship heaven and a square altar built on the northern slope to worship earth. Later the ceremonies to worship heaven and earth were merged and held in one temple.
After Zhu Li, the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing, he had the Altar of Heaven and Earth built in the new capital based on the standards of the one in Nanjing, but larger in size. Construction was completed in February, 1421, at the site of today's Altar of Prayer for Good Harvests. The Hall of Worship was the main place for the ceremony.
祭天在中国有非常悠久的历史，自西周时期统治者提出“君权天授”的理论后，祭天作为统治者维护自己政权的一种活动，得到历代皇帝的重视。朱元璋在南京建立明朝后，立即在钟山之阳（南）建圜丘坛以祭天，在钟山之阴（北）建方泽坛以祭地。不久改天地分祭为合祭制度，建天地坛合祭皇天后土。明成祖朱棣迁都北京后，仿照南京的规制建立了天地坛。北京天地坛建成于明朝永乐十八年十二月（公元1421年2月）主要建筑为大祀殿，基础在现在祈谷坛位置上，规模比南京天地坛大。
楼上的英语非常之棒……
