The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the PRC released on 1987-Sep-25 a set of six stamps on the theme of “Fairy Tales of Ancient China. Full of romance, fairy tales are naive explanation and happy yearning of the ancient people for natural phenomena and social life. The Chinese nation has an age-old history with splendid civilization. Its smart ancestors once considered the fairy tales of ancient times as the beginning or representation of Chinsese ancient civilization. Fairy tales of ancient China mirror lofty quality and indomitable spirit of our nation, from which one can seek philosophic theory of Chinese nation's long history
