Abstract

In the 5,000 years of Chinese history, the Tang Dynasty, with its self-confidence, openness and tolerance, widely absorbed the essence of various ethnic groups and foreign cultures, realized a high degree of intermingling of Hu and Han peoples and cultures, and forged the Tang culture with a strong vitality based on the local Han culture and the intersection and fusion of various cultures. Tang Sancai, as a unique art emerging from the Tang Dynasty, is a unique flower in the history of Chinese ceramics, with a vivid cultural gene, and is known as an "encyclopedia" of the Tang Dynasty society, and a mirror reflecting the intermingling of Hu and Han cultures in the Tang Dynasty. The raw materials, production and aesthetic style of Tang Sancai were all influenced by the intermingling of Hu and Han cultures to varying degrees, and contained distinctive marks of exchange and interaction between the Hu and Han peoples, which provided the driving force for the formation of its artistic style representing the meteorology of the Tang Dynasty. This paper focuses on the study of the application of Tang Sancai art under the influence of the intermingling of Hu-Han cultures, firstly by collecting, organizing and summarizing various books and documents, and then by using history, archaeology and design to cross-analyze the research. In terms of content arrangement, firstly, the historical history of the intermingling of Hu and Han cultures is explored, and the process of intermingling is analyzed; secondly, the reasons for the spread and interaction of Hu and Han cultures during the Tang Dynasty are analyzed, and the specific expressions in terms of social customs and arts and crafts are discussed; and then an overview of the Tang Sancai is given, including the development, craftsmanship, and decoration, and the expressions of the influence of the intermingling of Hu and Han cultures in the Tang Sancai are explored.
