At the height of the Mao worship, Mao appears as radiant sun, high above the masses. The dancing figures are from the revolutionary model operas developed by Mao's wife Jiang Qing. A group on the right is holding the famous poster "Chairman Mao goes to Anyuan".
The red books held high in the middle: Chairman Mao's Five Documents on Literature and Art (毛主席关于文学艺术 的五个文件), Talks at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art (在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话), Minutes of the Symposium on Army Literature and Art Work convened by Comrade Jiang Qing on behalf of Comrade Lin Biao (林彪同志委托江青同志召开的 部队文艺工作座谈会纪要).
