1999 Ancient Chinese Painting Stamps & Souvenir Sheet(s/s)- Joy Peacetime. Formosa(Taiwan), Rep of China.
sc#3231-34 & #3234a.

There is the ancient coins image on the back of elephant(1st stamp of NT$5.00).

The stamps released on March 2, 1999, the day of the Lantern Festival(Last day of Chinese new year).

During the Han Dynasty, the emperor would hold an all-night ceremony to worship the King of Heaven on the 15th day of the first lunar month, and many lights would be lit during this time. Later, the people adopted this ceremony for themselves, and ordinary folk would also light up many lights.

During the Tang Dynasty, the court celebrated the occasion lavishly, and the people adopted those celebrations for themselves as the lantern festival.

Since that time, the Chinese people´s celebration of New Year´s has ended with the lantern festival, at which time people take their children to visit temples with lanterns in hand, watch outdoor Chinese operas and attend lantern fairs in which each displayed lantern has a riddle written on it.

In recent years, out of respect for the nation´s great folk traditions, the Tourism Bureau and county and city governments have held lantern fairs every year.

These provide proof of the nation´s economic and political development, show that the people are well fed and well clad and provide an opportunity for the government and people have fun together. These fairs are very well attended.

The photo is only an example.
