As a long-standing folk culture symbol, zodiac culture is an important part of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. Since 1980, China Post has issued special stamps of the Chinese zodiac every year. Zodiac stamps not only carry the good wishes of the New Year, but also an important national business card that publicizes and promotes China's excellent traditional culture and goes to the world, and glows with new vitality and vitality in the new era.
The special stamp "Year of Nong Yin" was created by the painter Feng Dazhong, with a set of 2 stamps and a full set of stamps with a face value of 2.40 yuan. It continues the design concept of the fourth round of zodiac stamps and interprets the concepts of "country" and "home". The first stamp, titled "National Fortune Changlong", depicts the image of a majestic mountain tiger, standing tall and ambitious, conveying the meaning of the country's prosperity and ambition; the second stamp is called "Tiger Yun auspicious", depicting the warm scene of a gentle tiger mother with two small tigers, implying the prosperity of children and grandchildren and a happy family.
Stamps have always been an important carrier for inheriting traditional culture, and zodiac stamps contain the Chinese national sentiment and traditional cultural spirit that is difficult for Chinese people to abandon. Since 2015, when the "Year of the Sheep Ticket Debut" was held in Guangzhou, the special stamp launch event of the Chinese zodiac has been held for 8 consecutive years, and it has become an integral part of the cultural life of Guangzhou citizens every January.
Since 2015, Guangzhou Post has held a stamp design contest every year around the theme of the Chinese zodiac of that year, which has been supported and participated by the general public, especially young students, and has received hot attention from the people of the whole city.
