What's the name of the first set of stamps in New China?
The name of the first set of stamps in New China is: Dalong Stamp.

China officially issued stamps for the first time in the late Qing Dynasty1July, 878, with a set of ***3 stamps. The face value of stamps is calculated in silver: green face value 1 minute, red face value 3 points and orange face value 5 points. In the middle of the pattern is a dragon. The upper two corners are the word "Qing". This is the first stamp issued in China. 1885, China issued a set of three Panlong stamps. The main picture is the symbol of the Qing royal family.

The pattern is similar to the first stamp, but the pattern is thinner and smaller. Therefore, people later called the earliest stamp of 1878 issued in China "dragon stamp", and later a set of stamps was called "Little Dragon Ticket". The issuance of Dalong stamps marks the beginning of the establishment of modern postal service in China, and marks that China, which has a history of postal communication for thousands of years, has entered a new era of adopting modern communication methods.
