Hongkong Post announces sale of philatelic products from various postal administrations (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
China Post issued a set of three stamps entitled "Leading Horses out of Stable". Currently housed in the Palace Museum, "Leading Horses out of Stable" is an ink-and-colour-on-silk painting created by Yuan dynasty painter Ren Renfa in 1280. Employing a horizontal composition, the artwork vividly depicts three stable officials and four horses, from right to left, with delicate brushwork. The stamp design perfectly reproduces the brushwork and historical texture of Yuan dynasty court painting, creating a calm and profound cultural mood that allows viewers to experience the artistic tension of the ancient masterpiece.
China Post also issued a set of four stamps on the theme of "Chinese Seal Engraving (III)". The art of seal engraving is a splendid treasure of traditional Chinese visual culture, etching the enduring and ever-evolving civilisational imprints of the Chinese nation. As a globally renowned cultural symbol, Chinese seal engraving combines practical value as a means of authentication with artistic and aesthetic significance. Within the tiny space of a seal lies the elegance of millennia, making it worthy of collection and inheritance by cultural enthusiasts for generations.
To commemorate Macao's first-ever world-class philatelic exhibition, the Macao Post and Telecommunications released stamps on the theme of the "Macao 2026 Specialized World Stamp Exhibition - A Journey through Day and Night I". "A Journey through Day and Night I" features six time periods of the Chinese timekeeping system, namely Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, and Si. Beginning in the stillness of midnight, passing through the glow of dawn, and progressing towards the vibrancy of midday, the stamps vividly showcase the urban style and cityscape of Macao.
In addition, Liechtensteinische Post AG released stamps on the theme of "Music - Songs from the Attic". The special stamp comes in an unusual form - as a playable vinyl record.
