A Brief Introduction to China Stamp

Since the Founding of the People's Republic of China, more than 700 sets of definitive, commemorative and special stamps, with more than 3,000 different designs have been issued. Both the distinctive themes, rich content and unique artistry, have been especially received by philatelists the world over.

Stamps of new China are records of the over-five-thousand-year history from the very ancient times to modern China.

The charming stamps will bring you to see China's well-known mountains and rivers, beautiful flowers and rare animals. They will show you the potteries and bronze wares of primitive simplicity, the magnificent Great Wall and the world-renowned terra-cottas of the Qin Dynasty. China stamps are a history that not only records the four great inventions our ancestors contributed to human beings, but also records the latest achievements China has made in computer science, space navigation and other modern scientific fields. China's stamps also give you a sense of beauty. From the lovely panda, the precious David's deer to the elegant peony and the rare Chinese lily magnolia, and from the legendary art of acrobatics to the unique Beijing Opera and from the colourful national costume to the upturned eaves of the oriental architecture, all the stamps are carefully designed and well printed. Several thousand pieces of china's stamps are very well arranged with their own serial numbers, and this makes them easy to collect and study.
