The Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) was a prosperous cultural period that helped shape Chinese history's foundations for future centuries. This era was marked by notable technological and cultural advances, including gunpowder and printing. Among artistic advances during this period was the perfection of the sancai glaze technique, which was a prominent attribute of sculpture during this period.

La dynastie Tang (618-907 ap. J.-C.) est une période culturelle prospère qui a contribué à façonner les fondements de l'histoire chinoise pour les siècles à venir. Cette époque a été marquée par des avancées technologiques et culturelles notables, notamment la poudre à canon et l'imprimerie. Parmi les avancées artistiques de cette période figure le perfectionnement de la technique de la glaçure sancai, qui était un attribut important de la sculpture à cette époque. La glaçure sancai (tricolore) ; les trois couleurs de glaçure utilisées étaient l'ocre ou le brun, le vert et le clair. Les objets émaillés étaient beaucoup plus coûteux à produire que les autres objets en terre cuite, et étaient donc réservés aux clients les plus riches.

L'Esprit de la Terre en glaçure Sancai proposé ici représente un "Zhenmushou". Il s'agit de créatures hybrides mythiques dont le corps est une combinaison de chiens, de lions, de sangliers et d'autres animaux. Ces bêtes à l'aspect féroce se trouvaient par paires pour garder l'entrée des tombes de la dynastie Tang.
