How did the exotic customs of Sui and Tang crafts come into being?

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, due to its open political environment, the smooth Silk Road and the prosperity of foreign exchanges, the artistic styles of external factors such as Sassanian Dynasty, Persian Dynasty, Rome and India had a great influence on the art of gold and silver wares and brocade in the Tang Dynasty, forming an exotic style of Sui and Tang crafts.

During the Tang Dynasty, the government sent people to the Western Regions and Tianzhu for cultural exchange activities many times, treated foreign envoys and businessmen who entered China with courtesy, and respected the cultural and religious traditions of foreign residents who stayed in China, which also made the Sui and Tang Dynasties' crafts unique. For example, the patterns in the Tang Dynasty were obviously influenced by external factors. There are pairs of animals in the nest, and the box is surrounded by Julian. The "Yang sample" in the brocade can be taken as a representative. This was influenced by the Persian Sassanian dynasty model.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the open policy not only absorbed a lot of useful culture from other places, but also spread the prosperous traditional culture of China to all parts of the world. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the cultural policy was relatively open, and there were few bans on literature, which made the progress of science and technology and astronomical calendar outstanding, and literature and art flourished. Poetry, ci, prose, legendary novels, essays, music, dance, calligraphy, painting and sculpture have all made great achievements, which have influenced future generations and countries all over the world.

From 58 1 to 960, this 380-year period was the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties when China's feudal system continued to develop and reached prosperity, that is, the second heyday of China's feudal society. The grandeur of the Sui and Tang Dynasties' pattern, the grandeur of its momentum and the magnificence of its scenes are unmatched by all previous dynasties. In the world at that time, China was the frontier of development and the most advanced, prosperous and powerful country.
