Tea is considered a crucial element in Chinese culture. There are tea shops on every corner of every street. Chinese people consider drinking tea as a way to cultivate one’s moral character and nourish the mind. They believe strongly in being honest and truthful, whether it is about matters of living, socialising or within working and business, one should always be sincere and keep true to their word. Drinking tea together would also cultivate good, lasting relationships with friends, family members and especially amongst merchants. 

On the other hand, the gold sycees which were used as a currency in China often has auspicious characters engraved in them, symbolising wealth. 

Therefore, the teapot that pours tea and money into the cup represents how socialising and talking business over tea means to maintain good, honest relationships within trade which in turn creates prosperity and wealth for all involved.
