The phrase painted on this teapot without handle, is a reminder of the brilliance of 'Mao Zedong Thought'. The sun’s rays symbolise the illumination which Mao’s ideas provide. Like the sun which helps wheat to grow and flowers to blossom, Mao is seen here to be a nourishing force that helps the populace grow stronger.
