"The Music in the Court of Tang Dynasty"
Unknown, Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.)
In this
picture, twelve royal servants sat around a table, some of them were
playing music devices, some of them playing games, while the others
enjoying the taste of fresh tea soup. This picture was painted on
silk texture more than one thousand years ago. Now the silk base is
already broken somewhere but the color of this picture is still
bright and fresh. We can even distinguish the patterns on the maids'
clothes and their makeup on the faces. It is a very valuable
artifact depicting the royal life in the Tang Dynasty.
