In honor of the beauty of classical Chinese poetry and continuing the series of Classical Chinese Poetry Postage Stamps that ran from 2018 to 2022, Chunghwa Post has released a set of four stamps, showing how the ancients love for nature led them to express their feelings in the landscape, specifically through “mountains, rivers, wind and the moon.” Hence the four poems chosen are “Inscription on West Forest Temple Wall” by Su Shi, “Bidding Farewell to Meng Haoran at the Yellow Crane Tower on his Way to Guangling” by Li Bai, “The Wind” by Li Jiao and “Moonlit Night” by Liu Fangping.

1.“Inscription on West Forest Temple Wall” by Su Shi (NT$8): “Ahead: the ridge runs straight on / Seen sideward: peaks soar alone / From far or near, high or low / Each a vista fresh and new / Mt. Lu, which is thy real face? / Bound to thee, I see thee not.”
2.“Bidding Farewell to Meng Haoran at the Yellow Crane Tower on his Way to Guangling” by Li Bai (NT$8): “In the West, old friend of mine, from Yellow Crane Tower, adieu! / Drawn by scents of Spring row thou forth to Yangzhou town! / Thy lone sail lost in the shine of blue-green mountains afar / To utmost horizon nought else but Yangtze flows.”
3.“The Wind” by Li Jiao (NT$9): “Breeze-brushed falling leaves / Zephyr-warmed flowering buds / Wind-whipped wintry waves / Blown back, summer bamboos bend.”
4.“Moonlit Night” by Liu Fangping (NT$15): “At the third watch, when moonlight strikes just half my neighbor's house / As the North Dipper heads home and South Bushel tilts down / On this very night it is that I first feel Spring's warmth return / The chirping of insects wafts anew through green gauze-window frames.”
