China's pottery culture is not only very developed, its artistic achievements are also very high, the number of pottery that has spread to this day is also extremely many, such as the green glaze of the Han, Tang, Ming and Qing, the Purple Clay Pot and so on, all have very high art appreciation and collection value.

Pottery was first found in the Neolithic Age about eight or nine thousand years ago, and has been the main living utensil for thousands of years, while pottery in the primitive period has gone through the stage of Pelikan culture, Yangshao culture, Qu Jialing culture, Dawen culture and Longshan culture, and gradually matured, especially the most exquisite "eggshell black pottery" in the black pottery made in the Longshan culture about 4300-3800 years ago, and the white pottery in the same period has also become the rudimentary form of primitive porcelain.

Later on, with the gradual development of pottery, the pottery industry became very prosperous, and the variety of pottery became more and more numerous. In addition to the utensils of life, there were also bricks, tiles, terracotta warriors and architectural utensils (the so-called bright utensils were the nether utensils, ancient burial objects, such as tombs, soul bottles, pottery and shady houses, etc.), and the most famous of them were the terracotta soldiers of the Qinshi Tomb, which were renowned both internationally and internationally.

It is worth mentioning that from the beginning of the Han Dynasty, colored pottery has been developing greatly, glazed pottery is also widely used, at the same time white powder and calligraphy appeared in large numbers in pottery, until the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms era, as the sintering technology of porcelain gradually matured, pottery was gradually replaced by porcelain.

However, in the Tang Dynasty period, the pottery as a work of art once again began to shine brilliantly, and the low-temperature glaze of the Han Dynasty was also further developed, forming the famous "Three Colors of Tang", which became a treasure of China's pottery art. And after the Soong Dynasty period, all kinds of low-temperature glaze and glaze and color porcelain were mostly developed on the basis of the three colors of Tang.

After talking about the relationship between pottery and Tang Sanhua, let's talk about Tang Sanhua's understanding.

It is a low-temperature glazed pottery that flourishes in the Tang Dynasty. The glaze has yellow, green, white, brown, blue and black as well as yellow, green and brown as the main colors, so people are used to calling it "the three colors of Tang". Because the first three colors of Tang was found in Luoyang, it also has the title of "the three colors of Luoyang Tang".

And the rise of the three colors of the Tang Dynasty in Tang Dynasty had its historical reasons.

First of all, the rapid development of ceramic industry, as well as the improvement of sculpture and building art level, make them combine and develop continuously.

Since the rule of Tang Dynasty and chastity, the nation's power had flourished, and every cause of war had flourished. At the same time, it had caused the lives of some high ranking officials to erode, and thus the wind of burial had become more prosperous. At that time, as a tool, Tang San Cai was once listed in the officials' rules and regulations. The rules stated that each rank could allow the funeral of Tang San Cai, but in reality, as officials and famous people, they were not satisfied with the rules of Tang San Cai.

This was the case for officials and of course for the people, which led to the formation of such a grave atmosphere from top to bottom. This was one of the main reasons why Tang Sanhua was able to rapidly develop and rise to prominence in the Central Plains at that time.

As the essence of the pottery of the Tang Dynasty, the three colors of the Tang Dynasty peaked in the early Tang Dynasty and in the peak of the Tang Dynasty, during the period from Kaiyuan to the Grand Calendar (713-76 AD). Since the Anshi chaos, along with the gradual decline of the Tang Dynasty and the rapid development of the porcelain, the production of the three colors of the Tang Dynasty declined gradually. Although "Liao San Cai" and "Jin San Cai" appeared later, they were far inferior to the three colors of the Tang Dynasty in terms of quantity, quality and artistry.

The three colors of Tang Dynasty were derived from a healthy and powerful dynasty. At the same time, it also reflected the spirit of the age of the healthy and strong and bright.

At that time, Lin Xi looked at the Tang San Cai model, it was about 10 cm tall, 6 or 7 cm tall, the tire was white, the cup mouth was shaped like a boat, with sharp ends, round in the middle, and its mouth wide open.

The cup was decorated with a dragon's head design, with eyebrows protruding out of the skull. The eyes were wide open, nose curled up, teeth bared, and a long tongue coming out of the mouth. The cup was flat at the bottom, with three spikes that were glazed in yellow, green and ochre.

Even if Lin Xi was not very clear about Tang San Cai, but he had heard of her famous name before. He had seen a few real treasures in the pawnshop, but compared to the Tang San Cai, this treasure that Ye Xinghao brought could be considered a treasure. Her design was ingenious, its design was exquisite, and its color was gorgeous, truly a rare treasure, he couldn't help but praise in his heart.

After the praise, Lin Xi could not help but sigh emotionally. He raised his head to see Ye Xinghao being modest, but he could not hide the pleased look on his face. He sighed to himself once again, "It's really good to be rich."

At least Lin Xi did not think that Ye Xinghao had picked it up by mistake. Furthermore, who would be willing to sell such a genuine Three Colors Tang.

However, though he was sighing emotionally, since this old object was laid out in front of him, it would be a pity if he did not make good use of it. As such, Lin Xi's Heaven Eyes were unable to endure the thirst.

Just as Lin Xi was about to use his Heaven's Eyes, Zhang Senxu opened his mouth and asked in a serious tone: "Ye, do you know the name of this Three Colors Tang? How did you get it? How much did you spend? "

Hearing Zhang Senxu ask three questions in a row, Ye Xinghao couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, and didn't know how to answer.

However, he was immediately overjoyed. Zhang Senxu must have his own reasons for asking him this, and looking at Zhang Senxu's expression, there seemed to be a result, what was lacking now was a result.

Therefore, Ye Xinghao came up with an excuse that they were on good terms: "Please forgive this child for being inexperienced, but I really don't know the name of this object. It was given to me by a friend of mine who came to Ba Chuan last month, and he didn't even mention how much it was.

Hearing that, Zhang Senxu nodded his head, took off his white gloves and walked to Tang San Cai to look around, and then extended his hand out to feel the texture.

After a long time, he slowly said, "This piece of Tang San Cai's material is loose, with corrosion marks, and even some rust marks like calcium. Moreover, the color of the glaze is deep, soft, and slightly dark, and from the glaze, you can also see the same runes as the silkworm's silk. The glaze layer is thicker, the texture is very strong, there are no cracks in the ice, and the modeling and craftsmanship are also very exquisite."
