BEIJING, Sept. 6 (Xinhuanet) -- A set of stamps will be issued by China State
Post Bureau (CSPB) on Sept. 25 to commemorate Yue Fei (1103-1142), a well-known
general in ancient China.
Yue, a native of Anyang in central China's Henan Province, was known for
his courageous actions and personal integrity in fighting against intruders.
The stamp products to be launched in Anyang include three stamps and a
sheetlet, Anyang Mayor Jin Suidong said at a press conference held in Beijing
Saturday.
Anyang is home to the treasure tortoise shells with inscriptions of the
Shang Dynasty (16th-11th century B.C.). It is also the birthplace of the Book of
Changes (Yi-Ching), a traditional Chinese sutra guiding people to make
predictions.
China has issued stamps featuring inscription-covered tortoise shells and
Museum of Shang Dynasty Relics. Enditem
