Festival Stamps

Today, I want to show you the stamps of Taiwanese festival.
This series was published on 20 June 2012.

In order to make sure you all understand which I talk about, you can see the mark A~D.

First, A is the Chinese New Year. 春(means:Spring) and 福(means:good fortune).
You can see the word 福 is opposite. It is the same pronounce to "arrival" in Chinese.

Next, B  is the Lantern Festival. People carry lanterns at night. That is a custom from ancestors.

Then, C is the Dragon Boat Festival (falling on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month). We eat a pyramid-shaped mass of glutinous rice wrapped in leaves for commemorating 屈原(Chu Yuan).

The Last, D is the Moon Festival or the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is a story about "Chang'e's ascent to the Moon".

Those are the newest stamps in Taiwan.
I think there will be some people get one of them from the postcards I sent.
Pray you are the lucky one. Ha~
