my country has issued 7 sets of silk stamps since 2006, namely: "Four Treasures of the Study", "Mianzhu Woodblock New Year Pictures", "Zhuxian Town Woodblock New Year Pictures", and "Beijing 2008 Olympic Expo Opening" Commemoration", "Zhangzhou Woodblock New Year Pictures", "China 2009 World Stamp Exhibition", "Liangping Woodblock New Year Pictures". Among them, four "woodblock New Year picture silk stamps" are among the "lucky seal" prizes.

After the advent of silk stamps, the price has also fluctuated greatly. For example, the price of the "Four Treasures of the Study" silk stamps has risen to 200. 1 yuan, the lowest dropped to 45 yuan 1. However, with the arrival of this round of mail market conditions, Big Silk will once again lead the silk series of stamps to soar.
Why the silk series of stamps are so beautiful is due to the following points:
First, the material is new. Silk stamps are a new thing and can easily attract stamp readers' attention. Second, the subject matter is good. Judging from the silk series of stamps that have been issued, there are both traditional Chinese culture and things that integrate modern China and the world. Third, the picture is beautiful. The "Four Treasures of the Study" silk stamps were drawn by Wang Huming, a famous stamp designer in my country. They have saturated colors, rich content, and pictures and texts. The more you look at them, the more they become more attractive and more charming. The traditional Chinese peonies in the "China 2009 World Philatelic Exhibition" are complemented by the color of silk, and there are also modern peonies that are ready to be seen in the upper left corner, thus forming an art treasure that corresponds to ancient and modern times and inherits literature and ink. It is really hard to put it down. Fourth, the circulation is small. Although the official circulation volume has not been announced, based on the market response in recent years, experts estimate that its circulation volume is much less than that of the souvenir sheet back then. Fifth, series of love. Generally speaking, a series of stamps will receive more and more attention over time. The reason is that as later philatelic enthusiasts join in, influenced by the demand for perfection, most people will look for the vanguard of the series of stamps. The stamp series is often called the dragon head. Now the silk series stamps have only been issued to the seventh set, so they should all belong to the dragon head. In addition, although there is no place for silk stamps in general annual albums, the "Stamp Catalog of the People's Republic of China" has its sacred place. Therefore, silk stamps are official national stamps and can be owned boldly. In addition, in recent years, the China Philatelic Corporation has also printed the commemorative sheet for the annual best stamp selection in silk form. However, since it is not an authentic stamp, you do not need to pursue it too much. You can have it or not.
Recently, I wrote two articles, "Analysis of the Investment Value of 'Big Silk,' the Biggest Dark Horse in Small Pages," and "Re-Talk about the Real Dark Horse, 'Da Silk,' in Small Pages," respectively, which aroused market interest. In response to the positive response, in recent days, the large silk and small edition stamps have increased by 10 yuan per day. Some netizens asked me to add some more materials, so I can only further organize the materials on hand for the enjoyment of netizens. The process of Marxists understanding things is an endless cycle of practice, understanding, practice again, and understanding again. I also gradually became aware of large silk and small editions through the process of practice, understanding, practice again, and understanding again. Now, the degree and depth of my understanding is getting deeper with every step I take. My own point of view is that the large silk and small plates are a major breakthrough in the history of stamp issuance in my country. Regardless of the material, topic selection, and design, they have all left a mark in the history of stamp issuance. With a strong stroke, history will tell you that it is the biggest dark horse in the small version, and will produce new legends like the "Gengshen Monkey". Below I will explain one by one from the background, material selection, printing design and other aspects.
1. The large silk small plate is the first time in the world that stamps are printed on pure silk, and it fills the gap in the world's refined antique silk weaving technology
In order to cooperate with the 2006 Sixth International Stamp and Coin Expo to be held in Beijing, the State Post Bureau decided to use the 2006-23T "Four Treasures of the Study" special stamps issued on September 10, 2006, and specially print two sets of 8 silk stamps. The edition was first released on the opening day of the Stamp and Coin Fair on October 26, 2006. This was the first time that China Post issued postage vouchers made of silk. The news attracted widespread attention both inside and outside the philatelic circle. Although many countries have issued silk stamps before, there is no precedent for printing stamps directly on pure silk.
To turn the light silk into a stamp carrier suitable for high-precision printing, many technical problems must be solved, such as smooth surface, no wrinkles, no warping, etc. Tiangong Silk has overcome more than 30 technical difficulties and finally developed This unique new product is a combination of traditional technology and high-tech. On July 3, the person in charge of the State Stamp Printing Bureau and an expert group confirmed that the product fully meets the quality requirements for direct stamp printing. The State Postal Quality Bureau immediately ordered 50,000 meters of exquisite antique Geng silk from Tiangong Silk, which was bonded with commonly used stamp anti-counterfeiting fibers using a special process. The pattern was printed on the silk surface in the same way as stamps are printed on ordinary stamp paper, and the fiber surface was brushed on the back. glue. At the same time, Tiangong Silk will also apply for a national patent for its exquisite antique silk weaving technology that fills a gap in the world.
2. The design of large silk and small plates is another promotion of my country’s thousands of years of civilization and the first set of intangible cultural heritage stamps in the history of my country’s stamp issuance
“Four Treasures of the Study” The large silk and small plates were designed by Wang Huming, a well-known stamp designer. Regardless of the background layout and the creativity of the unfolding scroll, it seems to be narrating the history of our country's civilization for thousands of years. The printing effect can only be compared with the "Gengshen Monkey" stamp. More beautiful.
It is the first set of intangible cultural heritage stamps in the history of my country's stamp issuance to spread Hu pen, Hui ink, rice paper and Duan inkstone on stamps to expand cultural influence. In September 2006, the "Four Treasures of the Study" stamps were sold in Xuancheng and Huangshan City in Anhui Province, and Zhaoqing City in Guangdong Province (on the stamps, the "Baoyue Lotus Inkstone" and "Double Phoenix Pattern Copy Inkstone" from the Ming Dynasty are now collected in Zhaoqing Duan Inkstone Museum.), Wengang Town, Jinggong County, Jiangxi Province (the capital of Huaxia Brushstrokes) held a launch ceremony, and its small version was launched on the opening day of the postal publication on October 26. It is also the first time in the history of my country's stamps that four places in three provinces and Beijing hold the launching ceremony of a set of stamps at the same time. In addition, in 2004, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province was awarded the title of the hometown of "Four Treasures of the Study" by the China Light Industry Federation and the China Four Treasures of Study Association.
3. The large silk small plate is not only the theme stamp product at the 2006 Beijing Stamp and Coin Expo, but it is also a theme stamp product that is different from previous stamp and coin expos
Previous stamp and coin expos Six themed stamp products have been launched, including the 1995 "International Stamp and Coin Expo-Beijing 1995" souvenir sheet (with or without teeth, the latter is called "Osmanthus Teethless").
In 1997, PLZ-6 "Century Baoding with Inscriptions" was sold by the China Philatelic Corporation with the "Century Baoding" souvenir sheet and the words "97 Shanghai Stamps and Coins Expo" printed on it, with a price of 15 yuan.
Double sheetlet of the 27th Olympic Games in 2000 (issued by the State Post Bureau).
In 2002, "Mid-Autumn Festival plus words" (the State Post Bureau used the "Mid-Autumn Festival" small version as the carrier to print the words "2002 Beijing International Stamps and Coins Expo" and the logo).
A small self-adhesive version of the "National Flag and National Emblem" in 2004.
A small silk edition of "The Four Treasures of the Study" released in 2006.
None of the themed philatelic products of each Stamp and Coin Expo has escaped the hype. Some of them have been sold for more than a thousand yuan, such as Osmanthus Toothless, and some have been sold for more than a hundred yuan. Only the "Four Treasures of the Study" small Version Zhang was born at the wrong time, and there is no real hype yet.
In the eyes of many stamp collectors, the small silk sheet of "Four Treasures of the Study" is the first silk stamp printed and issued by my country. In addition, the title of "Four Treasures of the Study" determines its difference from previous stamps and coins. The special status of the theme stamp products of the Expo must attract more attention than other popular stamp products.
From the analysis of the above aspects, the large silk and small editions have fully achieved the leading position, and will become more prominent as time goes by. I firmly believe that in the future, large silk and small editions will have an increasingly greater impact on the entire market. They will be a banner for stamp collecting in the future, and their value-added and exemplary role will exceed our image. The many firsts of "Big Silk" small editions will make it a new legend. Whether it can reach a price of more than 6,000 yuan in the fourth postal market wave remains to be tested by history.
