To increase R.O.C. citizens' understanding of Taiwanese opera and to celebrate Taiwanese culture, the Directorate General of Posts is releasing a set of Taiwanese Opera postage stamps, which is the first of a series of postage stamps on Chinese regional opera.
Each stamp will pay homage to one of four separate elements of Taiwanese opera:
(1) the noise, festivity and excitement associated with the performances;
(2)the contribution these operas make in passing down the island's traditional arts legacy;
(3) their demonstration that women can do everything men can (since women play all the parts, female and male);and
(4) and their plots, which reflect the absurdity of real life. The and their plots, which reflect a absurdity of real life.
The stamps will have denominations of NT$5.00, NT$6.00, NT$10.00 and NT$25.00.
The stamps will feature:
(1) a festively adorned stage with a crowd gathered around it,
(2) a scene of interaction among troupe members in antique garb that conveys the legacy they are passing down,
(3) an actress, made up and dressed as a man, playing a male character; and
(4)another actress playing the role of a clown. The Directorate commissioned Ming Hwa Yuan Taiwanese Opera Company to plan the stamps.
The tunes of Taiwanese opera originated from the chin-ke tunes that were popular in Jangzhou, Fukien, and were brought to Taiwan by Chinese settlers in the late Ming and early Ching dynasties. Later, ke-tsai-chen developed, which was accompanied. by musical instruments such as yue-chin, er-hu and san-hsien (all of which are string instruments). Whenever people were not busy with farm work, they would gather in plazas where rice was dried or in plazas in front of temples, where they would recite, sing and act scenes using every-day vocabulary and simple movements and facial expressions. This kind of improvisation was called lo-ti-sao. It put little emphasis on make-up and costumes, and the stage was simply the ground between four bamboo poles. This was an inchoate version of Taiwanese opera. The choreography, music and costumes of Taiwanese opera have been heavily influenced by Peking opera. Taiwanese opera contains pleasing displays of martial arts, and its lyrics are easy to understand. During folk celebrations, processions and festivals held after great harvests and in honor of local deities, troupes are often asked to put on shows indoors or out. After 1956, Taiwanese operas have also been performed in theaters and turned into films, as well as being broadcast on television and radio.

Designer: Wong Lui - sang
Process: Deep Etch Offset
Printer: China Color Printing Co., Inc., R.O.C.
To publicize our national legacies and help people to know more of the Chinese martial arts, this Directorate especially used Shaolinquan, Form and Will Boxing, Taijiquan, and Eight Diagrams Boxing as subject matter for a set of four Chinese Martial Arts postage stamps. These stamps, in denominations of NT$5.00, 5.00, 9.00 & 19.00, were designed by the Informational and Research Center of Chinese Martial Arts, National College of Physical Educational and Sports.
Chinese martial arts are very rich in content and profound in nature. From ancient times up to the present, the arts. whether utilized to cultivate one's mind, to protect one's life, or to build up one's body, or to defend the country, have been significantly correlated to the society, army, religion, and culture. Characterized by locality, martial arts. in its broadest sense, include the use of different ways of boxing, the employment of various swords, the guidance to happy life, and traditional medicine. The designs for this set of martial arts stamps are four kinds of very popular boxing practiced by the Chinese people to build up their bodies or protect themselves.
