Tang Sancai was once included in the official regulations as a funerary object. The first, second, third and fourth items refer to how many items he can bury, but senior officials are not satisfied with the provisions of the Ming Dynasty, so they did so. This formed such a thick tomb style, which was one of the main reasons for the rapid development and rise of Tang Sancai in the Central Plains at that time.

Common unearthed tri-colored pottery in Tang Dynasty include horses, camels, ladies, musicians' figurines, pillows and so on. Especially the tricolor camel with silk or ribbon on its back, raised its head and screamed. Luo Yong, with a red beard and blue eyes, wears a narrow sleeve shirt and a wide-brimmed hat, which reproduces the life image of Central Asian conference semifinals and reminds people of camels walking on the Silk Road.
The production of tri-colored Tang Dynasty has a history of 1300 years. It absorbs the characteristics of traditional painting, sculpture and other arts and crafts in China. The production process of Tang Sancai is complicated. The finished kaolin is used as blank, copper, iron, cobalt, manganese, gold and other minerals are used as colorants of the glaze, and appropriate lead smelting slag and lead ash are added into the glaze as additives.
First of all, the biscuits are baked in a kiln, glazed after baking, and then baked in a kiln to about 800℃ ... Due to the strong fluidity of lead glaze, the glaze spreads and flows everywhere during the firing process, and various glazes penetrate and mix with each other to form natural mottled and gorgeous colors. This is a traditional handicraft with unique China style.
