Description
A fourth set in the series of Chinese Classical Poetry Postage Stamps was released on June 22, 1985_Poets' Day. The four stamps focus on the beauty of The Book of Odes, one of the Chinese Classics edited by Confucius. The entire piece was too long to be printed on a single stamp, so portions were selected under the guidance of Professor Yeh Ching-ping, Chairman of the Department of Chinese Literature, National Taiwan University.
The quoted portions are as follows： 2.00 Chou-nan 〝Taο-yaο〞 5.00 Hsiao-ya 〝Lu-ο〞 8.00 Ching-feng 〝Chien-chia〞 10.00 Hsiao-ya 〝Tsai-wei〞
