Abstract

This study is a qualitative study utilizing the concept of artistic influence and cultural communication. The following three research objectives are: 1) study the social, cultural and historical background of the three-glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty; 2) study the artistic style and production skills of the three-colored pottery of the Tang Dynasty; 3) study and analyze the artistic influence of the three-colored glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty on the ceramics of other countries under the background of the Silk Road.

The study found that the tricolor pottery unearthed from the Tang tomb found in Mangshan, Luoyang was transported to Liulichang in Beijing by antique dealers and entered the market, which attracted wide attention of scholars at home and abroad. Some overseas scholars were the first to study. Due to the rich colors and diverse shapes, the tri-colored glazed pottery not only won the love of everyone in the Tang Dynasty, but also developed the three-colored glazed pottery culture to all over the world through the Silk Road and imprinted in the hearts of people of various countries, forming various art forms, which can see the historical value of the three-colored glazed pottery. By understanding and analyzing the moment and form, use and trajectory of the tricolor art in each period, we can understand the meaning and value of the Tang tricolor.

This study further analyzes the value of tri-colored glazed pottery in the Silk Road from the perspective of artistic influence and cultural communication, and helps people to deeply understand the significance and development of tri-colored glazed pottery in the Silk Road. This study will enrich the future research information in this field by studying the relationship between Tang Tricancai and the Silk Road.

To sum up, with the continuous development of the society, Tang tricolor has developed from a local to an international brand. Three-color culture has gradually become a commodity used to promote the development of local tourism in Luoyang. A similar situation is also common in China and in other parts of the world. But it also has deep cultural connotations.
