4.7 隋唐展室 The Exhibition Hall of the Sui and the Tang Dynasties

隋、唐两代是中国封建社会的鼎盛时期,也是陕西历史上的黄金时代。现在的海外华人自称为“唐人”,他们居住的地方称为“唐人街”,反映了唐朝对后世产生的巨大影响。

唐代,瓷器成为重要的手工业产品,并远销国外,使中国有“瓷国”之称。唐三彩是盛唐时的一种以黄、褐、绿3种颜色为主要色釉的陶瓷工艺品,主要作陪葬用。彩色釉的使用,把我国陶瓷工业推向一个新的阶段。三彩器流行的时间较短,烧制的地区较少,因此遗物不多,非常珍贵。

汉朝之后,中国铜镜在唐朝得到快速发展。唐玄宗李隆基常在8月5日他的生日的这天赐文武百官铜镜,以后民间也竞相效仿,更刺激了铜镜的生产。这里展出的四神十二生肖镜、孔子问答镜、八卦镜等,式样新颖,纹饰图案活泼多样,是唐代铜镜中的精品。

唐代金银器制作精美,是唐王朝的标志。这里出土的金银器式样众多,综合运用了浇铸、焊接、切削、抛光、铆接、镀金、镏金等工艺手段,反映了唐代金银器制作工艺的最高水平。

The Sui and the Tang dynasties were China's feudal societies at the height of their power and splendor.They also marked a golden era in the history of Shaanxi.Chinese residing overseas today still regard themselves as the“descendents of the Tang”and the place where they live as the“streets of the Tang”(China Town).This,to some extent,reflects the enormous impact that the Tang Dynasty has had on its descendants.

In the Tang Dynasty,china ware was exported far away to foreign countries as a major handicraft product.It is well-known that China was famed as a“nation of china”.Here on show are Tang tri-colored glazed potteries,all are burial objects.In its prime,the Tang Dynasty produced glazed pottery of brown,yellow and green colors.Colored glaze brought Chinese pottery craft into a new stage. How-ever,the craft prevailed only for a rather short period in limited areas.Therefore,the small amount of tri-colored glazed pottery is of priceless value today.

The Tang Dynasty marked another period of rapid development of Chinese bronze mirrors.Li Longji,Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty of ten bestowed bronze mirrors on his civil and military officials on his birthday.The practice was soon imi tated by the public,which further stimulated the production of bronze mirrors.Bronze mirrors en graved with the designs of the four deities and of the 12 zo-diac animals and those engraved with Confu cius'questions and answers or with a design of the Eight Diagrams,are beautiful with different styles. They are the most exquisite bronze mirrors of the Tang Dynasty.

Gold and silver wares were beautifully made and served as a symbol for the Tang Dynasty.Unearthed gold and silver wares were of various shapes and were made with a combined technique of casting,welding,cutting,po-lishing,riveting,gilding and gold-plating.They depict the very high technological standard of gold and silver ware manufacturing in the Tang Dynasty.
