¡@¡@BEIJING, Sept. 6 (Xinhuanet) -- A set of stamps will be issued by China State
Post Bureau (CSPB) on Sept. 25 to commemorate Yue Fei (1103-1142), a well-known
general in ancient China.
¡@¡@Yue, a native of Anyang in central China's Henan Province, was known for
his courageous actions and personal integrity in fighting against intruders.
¡@¡@The stamp products to be launched in Anyang include three stamps and a
sheetlet, Anyang Mayor Jin Suidong said at a press conference held in Beijing
Saturday.
¡@¡@Anyang is home to the treasure tortoise shells with inscriptions of the
Shang Dynasty (16th-11th century B.C.). It is also the birthplace of the Book of
Changes (Yi-Ching), a traditional Chinese sutra guiding people to make
predictions.
¡@¡@China has issued stamps featuring inscription-covered tortoise shells and
Museum of Shang Dynasty Relics. Enditem
