Stamp collecting is the activity of collecting, appreciating and studying stamps and philatelic products. Stamp collecting belongs to the cultural category and is a worldwide cultural activity. China is a socialist country. Philatelic culture is an important part of developing advanced culture in China. Therefore, it is not only of theoretical significance, but also of practical significance to carry out extensive philatelic activities, mainly in the following aspects:
First, it is thoughtful. The main object of stamp collecting is stamps, which is called "national business card". All countries in the world reflect the most representative and proud contents of their own politics, economy, science, culture, history, geography, sports, health and ecology on stamps, and regard stamps as a "window" for external publicity. With its exquisite pictures and "artistic language", stamps have a subtle influence on people's thoughts, and their functions and effects are comparable to those of art propaganda materials. For example, the "revolutionary holy land" in the collection of ordinary tickets and the "founding the party" and "founding the country" in commemorative stamps are full of profound thoughts.
Second, collecting stamps is an art. The artistry of stamps refers to vividly reflecting all aspects of social life through the artistic image of stamps. Many stamps have reached a perfect, harmonious, vivid and touching height in screen design. For example, Xu Beihong's special stamp Ben Ma, Qi Baishi's special stamp Shrimp, Wu Zuoren's special stamp Panda and so on. It is particularly worth mentioning that China's stamp design combines various forms of plastic arts, such as Chinese painting, meticulous painting, watercolor painting, oil painting, printmaking, woodcut, sketch, paper-cut New Year pictures and so on. Among them, there are "long corridor scroll" sheetlets, sheetlets and souvenir sheets, which have infinite artistic charm.
Third, stamp collecting is intellectual. Colorful stamps contain rich scientific and cultural knowledge: a square inch of heaven and earth contains the world. For example: sociology, history, ethnology, writing, aesthetics, economics, political science; Natural sciences include zoology, botany, architecture, horticulture, astronautics, oceanography, geography and environmental protection. For this reason, people often say that stamps are "the epitome of human civilization" and "the encyclopedia of images". Collecting stamps can increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons.
Fourth, stamp collecting is historical. Since the birth of the world's first stamp "Black Penny" in 1840, up to now, more than 400,000 kinds of stamps have been issued worldwide, which is a rich and precious historical material. In the long history of human society, all major political, economic, scientific, cultural and military events are reflected in stamps, so people vividly call stamps "continuous historical records" and "miniature museums". Stamps have certain historical value in the study of social history, such as the collection of "district tickets", which is a precious cultural relic in the study of the democratic revolution period led by China.
Fifth, the characteristics are also the advantages of China's philatelic activities. Central and local cultural and educational departments, social organizations and the army collect stamps, which is very interesting. The pictures of stamps are rich and colorful, just like the hundred gardens in art, famous mountains and rivers, historical sites, pavilions, rare birds and animals, precious flowers, ancient cultural relics, sports, culture and art, industrial and mining bridges, historical celebrities and so on. , are magnificent pictures, showing the harmonious development of man and nature. Through the dazzling collection of stamps, it is full of fun and endless fun.
Sixth, stamp collecting is social. The sociality of stamp collecting activities means that all walks of life in our country attach great importance to the development of stamp collecting activities and stamp collecting culture, regard beneficial stamp collecting activities as a way and a new form of ideological education for workers and young people, enrich the spiritual world, occupy the ideological position, pollute the spirit of * * *, and "teach by post" to enrich social and cultural life.
Seventh, stamp collecting is international. Stamp collecting is also an international cultural activity. Some provisions of the Universal Postal Union on stamps point out: "The theme of stamps should help people of all countries understand each other and spread culture, thus strengthening international friendly relations." There is also a special international organization-the International Philatelic Federation (FIP). It has formulated the General Rules of FIP Philatelic Exhibition and the General Rules of FIP Philatelic Exhibition Evaluation, which all member countries must abide by. This shows that stamp collecting is an international culture. For example, Zhou Enlai said, "Posting Wan Li is related to the national context." Enhance friendship with people all over the world through stamp collecting.

Question 2: What's the point of collecting stamps? There is an eight-character motto: Love, dispel doubts, make friends and save money. This is a summary of the functions of stamp collecting, which can also be called the values of stamp collecting.
Because it was put forward a few years ago, the pertinence is weakened now, or it is incomplete and inaccurate.
Happiness and cleverness will never go out of fashion, especially collecting foreign stamps, which will make you gain a lot.
The role of making friends has been greatly weakened, and there are fewer and fewer people using email as the medium, but like-minded friends are hard to find, and interesting friends are more worth cherishing.
The role of saving money has also been greatly weakened, and the large-scale wave of using stamps as an investment means is unlikely to come again in a short time. What remains in the postal market now is not stamps, but philatelic products, and it is not necessarily obtained in the tangible postal market. For example, in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, many of them are cultural relics, and the value-added prospects are beyond doubt. Of course, you can't practice for three or five years just with money and without relevant knowledge and judgment.
Question 3: What are the advantages of collecting stamps? Collecting stamps has many advantages. A late American stamp collector once said, "People who are interested are twice as happy as those who are not interested. Because interested people live in two worlds at the same time. " What are the advantages of collecting stamps? As far as teenagers are concerned, there are four main aspects. 1. Cultivate young people with moral qualities to collect stamps, which can be edified ideologically and cultivate noble sentiments imperceptibly. Any country, without exception, puts the beautiful things that best reflect its own characteristics into the square inch. The stamps issued by New China are very thoughtful. Ordinary stamps mainly use Tiananmen Square, the revolutionary holy land, the scenery of the motherland and the patterns showing the achievements of industrial and agricultural production and construction. Commemorative stamps are mainly used by the older generation of class revolutionaries, revolutionary pioneers in China's modern history, thinkers, politicians, militarists, scientists, writers and artists who have played an important role in China's history; Important meetings of the party and the state; Important festivals such as the founding of the Party, the founding of the People's Republic of China and the army, as well as events and activities of great significance to the whole country. Special stamps are mainly used to publicize and display China's political, economic, historical, cultural and natural scenery, among which, they reflect the great achievements of social and cultural construction, the long history and splendid culture of the Chinese nation, the animals and plants unique to China or rare in the world, and the natural scenic spots and historical sites in China; Stamps constitute a magnificent picture of our country and nation, eulogize the motherland's long history, great rivers and mountains and ever-changing construction achievements, and are the epitome of socialist material civilization and spiritual civilization construction. 2. Increase subject knowledge. Colorful stamps contain rich scientific and cultural knowledge. They are a place that embraces the world and integrates various disciplines. People often say that stamps are "the epitome of human civilization and the encyclopedia of images", which is a vivid metaphor. Throughout the topic selection of the new China stamps, the contents are very rich: major events of the party and the country, achievements in the construction of all walks of life, ancient and modern figures who promoted social development, and historical and cultural accumulation of bronzes, sculptures, ceramics, paintings, calligraphy, monuments, ancient buildings, ancient cultural relics, historical and cultural cities, etc. Famous mountains, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, Tianchi, hot springs, geothermal, grotesque caves, famous gardens and special scenic spots are rich in magnificent rivers and mountains, exotic scenery, rare animals, precious flowers, precious trees and important minerals. The life of women, children and teenagers in New China is rich and colorful, including sports, literature, drama, music, dance, folk entertainment and arts and crafts. 3. Creating artistic sentiment stamps vividly reflect all aspects of social life through square artistic images, reaching a perfect, harmonious, vivid and touching height. Appreciating stamp art can cultivate sentiment and improve aesthetic level.
Question 4: What does stamp collecting mean? Stamp collecting refers to the collection, collation and research of stamps and philatelic products. Stamps are known as "national business cards". When issuing stamps, every country will choose the best, most beautiful, most representative or memorable things in its own country, and display them on the stamps after careful design. It covers politics, economy, culture, military and other aspects, and all walks of life have everything, making the small stamp between squares an all-encompassing museum and a small encyclopedia with rich knowledge.
"Stamp collecting" was first exploded by Wu Junru in an entertainment program, which means that some stars in the entertainment circle regard sleeping with popular heterosexual stars as a hobby, just like stamp collecting.
The Taiwan Province variety show "Ace Appraisal Team" once again talked about the "philatelic actress" exposed by Wu Junru a few days ago, and revealed that in order to save Andy Lau's face, Wu Junru said that the "philatelic actress" lacked him, but actually lacked Jacky Cheung.
According to comprehensive media reports, in addition, Hong Kong's "philately male star" was also exposed in the program. Taiwan Province artist Luo Peiying revealed in the "Ace Appraisal Team" that "male philatelists" do exist. Luo Peiying said that a "stamp collector" from martial arts is a standard muscular man who married a Japanese wife and divorced. He has relationships with many A-list actresses, and then he will tell his friends about their special hobbies.
One of the biggest characteristics of the "philately male star" is that he has made * * *, and also made a series of lamb movies. But after checking the information, it turns out that there are only * * * lambs, lamb doctors and new lamb doctors in Hong Kong. According to the program of Taiwan Province Province, the lamb series actually refers to the lamb and Hongkong Wonder. In other words, the actors who shot these three plays may all be "stamp collectors"!
Eight Characteristics of Big Bang Stamp Collecting Male Stars
One of the characteristics of a male stamp collector is that he is an actor but not the four kings.
The second feature of male stamp collectors: sleeping with five first-line actresses.
The third characteristic of male philatelists: multi-acting pervert
The fourth characteristic of male stamp collectors: more muscles.

It is known that this "philatelist" was active in the Hong Kong film circle in the 1990s. Although he is not a white house, he charmed many actresses with his strong muscles. He took many photos. According to the reporter's in-depth tracking, this "philatelist" had an affair with the actress from time to time, and even had an affair with the heroine in the play at the beginning of his career. Later, the actor became attached to his first wife because of filming, and his wife was also a martial arts actress in the circle. In recent years, "collectors" have switched to business, but they still make movies.
Question 5: What's the point of collecting stamps? What's the point of collecting stamps? There are two most common sayings:
1. Stamp collecting has three functions: intelligence, fun and wealth accumulation. 1. Puzzle: Stamps are pictures of the universe and everything in the world; Is the ocean of knowledge; 2. Fun: stamp collecting is a symbol of elegant taste and interest; 3. Collecting stamps is to preserve and increase the value of the piggy bank (small vault)!
2. 1. "Stamp is a country's business card", which reflects a country's politics, economy, culture, science and technology, history, geography, folk customs, natural scenery, animals and plants and so on. Stamps are called "mini-encyclopedias". It depicts the universe and the universe, and it is a treasure house of knowledge, from which we can learn a lot!
From the above two statements, you can understand "what's the point of collecting stamps"
Question 6: What are the advantages of collecting stamps? Personally, I think it's useless. This is an interesting question. This doesn't seem to be a problem. I've had enough points, so I just want to leave some words on it so that everyone can have a chance to discuss it.
But you have to understand that in the field of stamp collecting, the collection of sealed envelopes is the most important, which includes tickets and materials.
, seals, stamps, as well as the recipient of the letter, the content of the letter and many other information, as long as we understand this, let's discuss it.
Makes more sense. )
First of all, I must make sure that people who don't like collecting stamps personally think it is really useless, just as I think collecting furniture, leaves, tires, bottle caps, wine bottles and candy paper is useless. Collecting stamps is just collecting stamps, not for appreciation, not for hype, and not to divert others' likes and dislikes. Just like the small map cards in the snack bags that children eat now, children buy many bags of the same food just to make up a set of map cards, and merchants also use this to increase sales, although I don't agree with this. However, children's hobbies are only short-lived, and they have not really formed a conscious psychological foundation for collection. They may not be able to play this for a while. However, once this hobby of adults is formed, it will change a lot. Even if there is no corresponding collection activity, my heart is concerned. Just like a person who really loves football, it is impossible to watch the World Cup because the national football team is not playing well.
In fact, the scope of stamp collecting is very wide, but it is limited to its professional fields, such as stamp collecting, sealing and stamping, and there are many categories in it; Another example is the collection surcharge, such as the color code of the inscription version, such as the collection of sports, music, architecture and stamp products with a specific theme, and there are countless. However, it is an illusion that some people count the derivative behavior of stamp collecting in stamp collecting. For example, the circulation of a certain theme is too large, and hype does not make money; Since no one writes letters, stamps lose their value. Wait, these have nothing to do with the meaning of stamp collecting itself. There are associations collecting candy paper and bottle caps all over the world. Is that thing big? Can you enjoy it? Does anyone collect antiques now, such as sacrificial ding, such as cong? Then look at the photos on these things. How many are there?
People have the strength to shoot it?
Stamp collecting is a meaningful activity, even if it is not a hobby, because stamp collecting, regardless of the nature of the hobby, actually belongs to the category of documents and archives. I'm afraid some keywords will be screened, so I won't go into details. There is communication when there are people, and the key behavior records of communication are documents and files, from the early Oracle bones to the later cloth and silk, the guest mail in Qing Dynasty, the letters of literati, the real envelope reflecting the owner's right to go west/Tibet and carrying the postal information, the mail between the two regions of China/* *, and the postage adjusted due to changes in the economic environment. These physical records correspond to the historical process of people/species, especially.
Does the customs issue stamps? How is the postage determined? How can the battlefield/battlefield letters written by Qin people on bamboo slips have more academic value than those recorded by Wang/Shi? Wait, the history of postal service is actually a reflection of human history. Needless to say, it is too regular, so it is well-deserved that stamp collecting is called the biggest collection activity. Coin collection is not, porcelain collection is not, only stamp collecting is. Even though I like basketball, I have to admit that football comes first. In the same way.
Of course, it doesn't matter where the stamps go. Even if you don't write a letter, you send an email, which is the same as the radio. There is nothing but TV, but the radio brings pictures. Just as e-mail has to be called e-mail, it is also inseparable from the essential form of e-mail, that is, people must communicate with each other.
This is another form of stamp collecting when someone backs up or saves the mail in an e-mail box many years later. Whether stamps are used or not, personal hobbies and the status of mail as a part of historical archives will not change.
Of course, I also want to talk about the hobby of collecting stamps. One is that this activity is so rich that no one can play it all. Real philatelists choose one aspect to enter, unlike postal merchants, which products they can play when they can make money, which plays an auxiliary role in stamp collecting. The second is the exquisite attraction of stamps, and its spread is unparalleled. Have you ever seen cartoon stories or idioms printed on money? It can be printed on cards, but the circulation is too poor. So stamps are called national/family business cards, but coins can't be called that, no matter how valuable they are. Exquisiteness comes from the fact that stamps are the carrier to prove the peak of printing design.
