What are the representative works of music and dance figurines in Tang Dynasty?

Among the musical and dancing figurines unearthed from the Tang tomb near Chang 'an, Shaanxi Province, there are a group of musical and dancing figurines and a group of musicians and Confucianism. Dance figurines unearthed from Zheng Rentai's tomb (see front). It should be from the early Tang Dynasty, but two of the four sitting figures should be dancers or singers, not musicians. Because judging from their gestures, they don't look like instrument players, but probably sit and rest during the intermission of singing and dancing. What stands out are two dancing figurines, which show the beautiful image described in Tang poetry, that is, "dancing beautifully with long sleeves and waving lightly, singing loudly and singing loudly, and doing business clearly."

Another group of singing figurines is actually a rap performance of You. But this combination, like the last group of dancing figurines, was deliberately put out for display or photography after the figurines were unearthed. It is impossible to know what the original relationship between various figures is, so today we can only explain the artistic achievements of individual modeling of figurines. From the individual point of view of this group of figurines, such as dancing singers, they are ready to come out, as if they heard moving songs. For example, the one-man singing figurine on the whole left and the six-man musical figurine sitting next to him, whether it is the so-called "sitting geisha" popular in the court of the Tang Dynasty or not, can appreciate the talent of plastic workers in the Tang Dynasty only from the attentive manner revealed by the actors, which is commendable.
