Myths are handed down from olden times, containing the early beliefs and lives of the races.They are hearsay at the beginning, then are written in literature after a written language has been invented. The motif of this issue is to illustrate the creation of the universe and the origin of the whole world. These stamps were instructed by Professor Ching-ping Yeh. The four stories are: (1) Pan Gu's creation of the universe, (2) Pan Gu transmitted himself into all creatures, (3)Nu Wa created human beings with pestled earth, (4) Nu Wa mended the sky with smelted stone.
