Tri-colored pottery in Tang Dynasty is the general name of China's pottery in Tang Dynasty. Glaze colors are yellow, green, white, brown, blue and black. Because the glaze color is mainly yellow, green and white, people are used to calling it "three colors of Tang Dynasty". According to historical records, Tri-color in the Tang Dynasty began in the early Tang Dynasty, flourished in the middle Tang Dynasty and declined in the Song Dynasty. Up to now, it has a history of 1300 years, and its skills have been lost for nearly a thousand years. When the Longhai Railway was built at the beginning of the 20th century, Tang Sancai was discovered in Mangshan, Luoyang, and was highly praised by Wang Guowei, Luo Zhenyu and other masters of Chinese studies, thus giving new life to this ancient art in China, which had been sleeping for thousands of years. Archaeologists have found that most of the Tang Tri-colors in Luoyang are concentrated in the suburbs around the eastern capital of Sui and Tang Dynasties, that is, Mangshan in the north, Guanlin in the south and Longmen, Shui Gu, Yanshi, Jin Meng and Yichuan in the west.

Tri-colored pottery in Tang Dynasty is a popular pottery in Tang Dynasty, with yellow, brown and green as the basic glaze colors. Later, people used to call this kind of pottery "Three Colors of Tang Dynasty". The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of China's feudal society, with prosperous economy and brilliant culture and art. Tang Sancai is a kind of painted pottery handicraft produced in this period, which is famous for its vivid modeling, bright colors and rich flavor of life. The production of tri-colored Tang Dynasty has a history of 1300 years. It absorbs the characteristics of traditional Chinese painting, sculpture and other arts and crafts in China, and displays decorative patterns in the form of overlapping painting, with rough and powerful lines.

Tang Sancai is a kind of low-temperature glazed pottery. Adding different metal oxides into the colored glaze, after firing, various colors such as light yellow, ochre yellow, light green, dark green, sky blue, brown red and eggplant purple are formed, but most of them are yellow, brown and green. It is a traditional handicraft with China's unique style, mainly the colored glaze coated on the ceramic body. During the firing process, chemical changes occur, the depth of the colored glaze changes, mutual penetration, mottled dripping, natural color coordination and smooth patterns. In the mutual reflection of colors, the three colors of Tang Dynasty show magnificent artistic charm. As a funerary object, Tang Sancai was used for funerary objects, because its fetal quality was crisp, its waterproof performance was poor, and its practicability was far less than that of celadon and white porcelain that had appeared at that time.
