Thank you, Rat and Bill and Perrie; I do read your responces. An example of latter-day 'Design Attenuation' of Tang pottery is on eBay and in furniture stores. Obviously something is lost, referring to famous literary Chinese stories.

I found asian artwork focuses on Chinese social, religious and cultural history, rather than the art by Chinese elites typically featured in museums. Claiming these figures that come from the Tang Dynasty are just generic without a story is like saying snow is white. Thinking the figures are made by ordinary people that did not make the elites status of recognition certificates? Just commonly encountered artwork from ordinary people, without any higher class status of recognition. Origin would be Chinese people without any social, religious and cultural history, the poor? Therefore, they are fakes.
