The four ancient Chinese bridges shown on the stamps are all arch bridges. They are located in Suzhou of Jiangsu, Linying County of Henan, Beijing, and Jianshui County of Yunnan respectively. They embody the intelligence of the ancient Chinese people as well as the Chinese national style. They have witnessed historical tragedies and glories, and are related with historical events and legends. Today, these ancient bridges still retain their original charm.

Their appearance brought in a new era of beidge construction technology in China.
