ChinaThe 7th Congress of All-China Philatelic Federation
Date of Issue : 25 April 2013
The 7th Congress of All-China Philatelic Federation was held in Beijing on 25 April 2013. The main picture shows cultural relics excavated from Liye Ancient Town in Longshan County of western Hunan Province, including bamboo slips from the Qin Dynasty (221BC - 206BC), daubs and stamp labels. A number of archives of Qin Dynasty's Qianling County were found at Liye Ruins. The words "Qianling yi you xing Dongting" (the express mail from Qianling County, today's Liye, to Dongting Prefecture) on the Qin slips are regarded as China's earliest letter; the daub by "Youyang Cheng Seal" is used as a mark to seal the letter; and the stamp label with notes on the package is considered the earliest one in China.
