Cause of rise

The rise of tri-color in Tang Dynasty has its historical reasons. First of all, the rapid development of ceramic industry and the continuous improvement of the artistic level of sculpture and architecture have promoted their continuous combination and development, so people, animals and daily utensils can be displayed on the utensils of the Tang Dynasty.

After the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the national strength was strong and all walks of life flourished, which also led to the corruption of some senior officials' lives, so the wind of reburial became more and more fierce. At that time, Tang Sancai was also a funerary object. Once included in the official regulations, one product, two products, three products and four products, that is to say, how many pieces can he be allowed to be buried with, but in fact, as these dignitaries, they are not satisfied with the express provisions.

On the contrary, they often have to increase many times than the official regulations to achieve this reburial. The official style is like this, and the folk customs are of course like this, so such a style of heavy burial has been formed from top to bottom, which is one of the main reasons for the rapid development and rise of Tang Sancai in the Central Plains at that time.
