Product Details

Height:18"

Craft:Chinese traditional handicraft with thousands of years history

Origin:Luoyang

Tang San Cai, also called Tricolor Glazed Pottery and a gem of ancient Chinese art, is a kind of handmade glazed ware of exquisite craftsmanship created in the Northern and Southern Dynasty (386-589) about 1,400 years ago. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the production of Tang San Cai reached its peak, which is part of the reason the pottery got the name of Tang San Cai.

Luoyang, named the eastern capital in ancient times, in Henan Province was the home of Tang San Cai, and most of unearthed Tang San Cai was found in Luoyang.

Tang San Cai is a polychrome handicraft with yellow, green, and white as its major tones. It is fired with lead glaze and presents a harmonious complex of varied colors, deep and light. The process is complicated: first, bake the ready mode in kilns until the temperature reaches 1,100oC, then take it out and apply glaze on it; bake it again in kilns at a temperature of about 900¡ãC.

Tang San Cai items that have been unearthed include horses, humans, and even pillows, and camels, of which the pottery camel is one of the best. Its head rises high, as if telling stories about merchant caravans along the Silk Road in the remote past and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Being the gem of ancient Chinese art, Tang San Cai absorbed the advantages of Chinese painting, sculpture and stone carving. It features fleshy figures, regular and exquisite technics, compact carving traces, and smooth lines, indicating the high-level of the craft reached in the Tang Dynasty. Tang San Cai is mainly divided into pottery tomb-figures and daily commodities.

After the founding of new China, specialized institutions have been set up to study the technics of making Tang San Cai, which has boosted the development of the craft.

The Majesty of the Chinese Dragon Dance

In Chinese culture the dragon (long) is the supreme symbol of power, wisdom, and good fortune — a benevolent creature that brings rain, prosperity, and protection. The dragon dance dates back nearly two thousand years and is performed wherever a community wishes to summon luck and chase away misfortune: at the New Year, at temple fairs, and at the opening of businesses and festivals.

A team of performers brings the dragon to life, poles in hand, weaving the long body through sweeping coils, daring chases, and the famous sequence of the dragon chasing the flaming pearl of wisdom. The longer the dragon and the more perfectly synchronized the team, the greater the luck it bestows — which is why troupes compete to carry dragons dozens of meters long.

Our dragons are handcrafted with a lightweight bamboo-and-rattan frame, brilliant sequined scales, and flowing silk, balanced for the fluid sweeping motion that makes the creature look truly alive. Whether for a parade, a school, or a cultural celebration, a well-made dragon is the centerpiece that turns any event into a spectacle.
