Background
China Post issued a set of four special stamps titled "Fruits (I)" on July 15, 2014, with a total face value of 5.40 yuan. The stamp designs feature apples, peaches, pomegranates, and kumquats.The stamp designs employ a super-realistic style, vividly capturing the lifelike appearance of apples, peaches, pomegranates, and kumquats, with lush green leaves and plump fruits that evoke a sense of happiness and sweetness in life. The stamps are printed with scented ink, each corresponding to the distinctive fragrance of the four fruits. As viewers admire the images, they can also enjoy the subtle aroma of the fruits; gently rubbing the stamps enhances the scent, adding an element of delight.
The fruits chosen for the special stamp set "Fruits (I)" carry auspicious meanings in Chinese culture. Apples (Pingguo) are associated with the word Ping (peace), symbolizing safety and tranquility. Peaches (Tao) traditionally represent longevity and good fortune. Pomegranates (Shiliu), with their many seeds, symbolize fertility, many descendants, and family prosperity. Kumquats (Jinju) are linked to the word Ji (auspiciousness) due to their homophonic relationship, and their golden color signifies wealth and good fortune, symbolizing "good luck, abundant wealth, and treasure."
