Giving the "Master of Authenticity" the nickname "Flower Monk" did not mean disrespectful to his old man in the slightest, and more because he was a monk like the flower monk Lu Zhishen.

Jian Zhen was a senior monk in China during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, who worked hard to spread Buddhism to Fusang and was an emissary of friendship between China and Japan. In order to commemorate him, in 1980, China issued a commemorative stamp entitled "Master of Authenticity". The first is the "Jian Zhen Memorial Hall", which was built in 1973 in the Daming Temple of Yangzhou. The second is the "Statue of Master Kanzen", a seated statue of Kanjin shou, which is regarded by Japan as a "national treasure". The third is the "Jian Zhen East Ferry", which is the Japanese wooden boat that Jian Zhen took during the sixth east ferry, because it was the boat taken by the Japanese Ambassador Tang, so it was named the Tang Envoy Ship.

The stamp selection of "Master of Authenticity" is very important, integrating "ancient celebrities, history and culture, and the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and foreign countries (Sino-Japanese relations)". However, the design is not brilliant, the pattern is dull, and there is not much to praise. However, the number of stamps issued was small, at only 1 million. At that time, stamps fully considered the first function of communication, and the consumption of letters was extremely large. After all, at that time, the people had not yet installed telephones, there was no network, and communication was the most important way of off-site communication. Listen to some older post dealers, most of the stamps at that time were casually available at the counter, such as the (Golden Monkey) version of the ticket. The smooth flow of sales channels has made the "Master of Authenticity" stamps consume a lot in communication, and after so many years of precipitation, there is less traffic in the market.

In the previous postal market tide, although it is not the leading variety, it is fully valuable.
