China has issued four rounds of Zodiac stamps. How have they changed step by step?

Four rounds of Zodiac stamps, which are rich in China's Zodiac culture, have been issued. The following is a brief introduction to the evolution history of Chinese zodiac stamps.

The first round:

The first Zodiac stamp issued in China was a waiting stamp, which started at 1980, and then the first round of Zodiac stamps ended at 199 1. After the release of the Zodiac stamps, they received wide acclaim, and the most popular monkey tickets for the Zodiac were drawn by Master Huang Yongyu himself. At that time, China Zodiac stamps had been beautifully printed and welcomed by many stamp collectors. The first set of Zodiac stamps issued in China also occupies a very important position in the history of Zodiac stamps. The market value of this set of Zodiac stamps has reached 1.3 million.

The second round:

China issued the second round of Zodiac stamps, from 1992 to 2003. Two stamps are issued every year, with English China on the face. In order to better integrate with the world, it has continued to this day. In addition, the year number is used for the first time in the second round of Zodiac stamps, with different styles of Zodiac names as the main characters, which greatly embodies the characteristics of China.

The third round:

The third issue of Zodiac stamps began in 2004 and ended on 20 15. The third zodiac stamp is mainly square in design, which is quite different from the other stamps in the previous two rounds. Many modern elements are added, which not only embodies the traditional culture, but also embodies the modern trend. The three zodiac stamps combine the two perfectly, and the anti-counterfeiting function is added.

The fourth round:

China issued the fourth round of Zodiac stamps in 20 16, which opened a new era for China Zodiac stamps. A variety of anti-counterfeiting measures have been added to the stamps of the fourth zodiac. Among them, Ding Younian's stamps are anti-counterfeiting with back stamps for the first time. The stamps have the unique anti-counterfeiting colors and other anti-counterfeiting marks of China Post, which greatly protects the rights and interests of stamp collectors and enhances the anti-counterfeiting efforts.

In a word, as a cultural tradition in China, Zodiac stamps should be well protected and continued.
