Following the loss of mainland China, stamps are restricted to Taiwan and surrounding islands. Since 2008, stamps are inscribed "Republic of China (Taiwan)".
Hong Kong(1862-1973):The early-issues from 1862-1938 are generally higher value stamps. These stamps are well covered in the Stanley Gibbons Stamp Catalogue Part 17 CHINA, since Stanley Gibbons catalogs do a good job on the entire Biritsih Empire. At the New York auction, which ended on May 9, 2013, the leader of the auction was a blue postage stamp of China with an inverted portrait of Sun Yat-sen. In the description to the lot, 1940 is stated as the year of the release, although catalogs date this series to 1941. This issue was printed in New York by the American Bank Note Company. In general, the series is not of particular interest to lovers of exclusive pieces and only such a perfect overprint may be so expensive. As reported in the description to the lot, the copy was discovered in December 1945 by a schoolboy.
About us
Gagō-in [ edit ] A modern gagō-in spelling out "Mitsuko" (光子), a popular woman's name. Note the uniform line widths, archaic text style, and right-to-left direction. The first evidence of writing in Japan is a hanko dating from AD 57, made of solid gold given to the ruler of Nakoku by Emperor Guangwu of Han, called King of Na gold seal. [13] At first, only the Emperor and his most trusted vassals held hanko, as they were a symbol of the Emperor's authority. Noble people began using their own personal hanko after 750AD, and samurai began using them at some time during the Feudal Period. Samurai were permitted exclusive use of red ink. Chinese style seals were also utilized by the Ryūkyū Kingdom. [14] After modernization began in 1870, hanko came into general use throughout Japanese society.

Typically, the seals are carved into stone, but they can also be made of wood, bamboo, bone, or ceramic. When the seals are used, they are dipped in either red ink or cinnabar paste. What's the history behind Chinese seals?Plant: The red paste is made from finely pulverized cinnabar, mixed with castor oil and moxa punk. Because the base is a plant one that has been pulverised, the texture is very loose due to the fact that it does not bind. The appearance is sponge like and not oily.
During the Warring States (476B.C.-221B.C.), there was only one way of calling seals, both official and private, regardless of their usage and material. The name was Xi, which in the following periods gradually became the name only for imperial seals. And the imperial seals is always made of jade. Ji Ji 1 to 13, especially 1, 2, and especially 4, 16 special stamps reprint issued stamps with the original point of difference is as follows:The revolution of 1911 resulted in overprints on the imperial stamps in 1912; at Fuzhou to indicate that the post office was effectively a neutral area available to both sides, and at Nanjing and Shanghai reading "Republic of China" (from top to bottom: simplified Chinese: 中华民国; traditional Chinese: 中華民國; pinyin: zhōnghuámínguó). An additional set of overprints was produced by Waterlow and Sons in London, and postmasters throughout the country made their own unofficial overprints using the same characters. The postal service was established rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s. By 1952 the principal postal networks centered on the capital, Beijing, and links to all large cities had been established. Great progress was made in improving the postal service under the First Five-Year Plan. Postal service was also developed in the rural areas. Besides extending rural postal routes, the problem of delivering mail to places below the county level was solved by enlisting the aid of the population. From 1954 onward a system of mail delivery by rural postal workers was tried in agricultural cooperatives, and in 1956 this system was extended throughout the country. By 1959 the national postal network was complete. The most popular style of script for government seals in the imperial eras of China (from the Song dynasty to Qing dynasty) is the Nine-fold Script ( 九疊文; jiǔdiéwén), a highly stylised script which is unreadable to the untrained. This is a 13% discount to the catalogue value of the collection in the last Stanley Gibbons China catalogue, published almost five years ago.
Also, two values from the 1961 ‘Rebirth of the Tibetan People’ set saw bids 150% above Michel catalogue value for mint unhinged examples. Seals are still commonly used in South Korea. Most Koreans have personal seals, and every government agency and commercial corporation has its own seals to use in public documents. While signing is also accepted, many Koreans think it is more formal to use seals in public documents. In 2008, the Constitutional Court of South Korea upheld a Supreme court judgement that a signed handwritten will without a registered seal was invalid. [19] Korean seals are made of wood, jade, or sometimes ivory for more value. State Seals were generally made of gold or high-quality jade. There are rare cases of bronze or steel seals.Name Seal(2018)". Les Ateliers de Japon. Archived from the original on 2020-12-11 . Retrieved 2018-04-02.
