Ouyang Tian and Zhou Bozhai were both experts. They looked closer and opened their mouths slightly. Ouyang Tian shook his head repeatedly: "Good boy, have you stepped on shit during the day?"
"Haha." Zhou Bozhai laughed: "This boss is too big and gave such a big gift."
Luo Tian held a stamp with his two fingers, an orange stamp, and a churning dragon in the center, which is lined with clouds and water waves. The left is written as "Five-cent silver" and the right is written as "Post Bureau": "The owner of this comic strip
I must have forgotten that I had picked up a five-cent silver in it. Oh my God, this is a big dragon stamp."
On August 15, 1878 (the specific issuance date has not been recorded so far. It is generally believed that the earliest issuance date of the Dalong stamp was between July 24 and August 1, 1878), the Qing government's customs piloted the postal service and issued the first China
The first set of stamps - Dalong stamps. This set of stamps has 3 pieces in total. The main picture is the symbol of the Qing royal family - Yunlong.
The one in Luo Tian's hand is called five cents silver, which is the orange registered postage, with a face value of five cents. In addition, there is one cent silver, green, printed postage, three cents silver,
Red, send ordinary letters for postage.
Before issuance and before issuance, Qing Customs designed three stamp sketches, namely the Yunlong, the pagoda and the ten thousand-year-old elephant picture. Among them, "The ten thousand-year-old elephant" is the most precious and priceless. The big dragon stamp has thin paper big dragon and wide border.
Big dragon and thick paper dragon.
"Luo Tian, Dad, why is this set of stamps not issued by the post office, but customs?" Ouyang Tian and Zhou Bozhai smiled sly, and they like to tease Luo Tian and try to make things difficult for him.
Luo Tian was really confused in an instant. Customs and Postal Bureau, he took a photo of himself. Yes, what's the matter with issuing stamps and customs? Ouyang Tian chose a little bit that is not easy to understand. No wonder his dad is also a genius.
.
"What? Luo Tian, can't he be embarrassed by an old man like this?" Ouyang Tian's expression became serious. The relaxed atmosphere just now disappeared suddenly. Ouyang Tian had high expectations for Luo Tian.
What you want is to be better than the best. The son will have blood that is familiar with antiques in his bones. If he cannot develop his height, it will be too failure.
Luo Tian quickly sorted out his thoughts. He was just a little confused just now and didn't react quickly enough. With his father's sudden serious face, he actually wandered away. A flash of inspiration. Luo Tian finally remembered the knowledge base in his mind.
Opened.
"After the Opium War in 1840, the invading powers of China frantically seized rights in China, and the customs was even controlled by foreigners. At that time, the British man Hurd Heard was a Chinese official, and he was the postal service for China.
The power has been coveting for a long time. Hed and Li Hongzhang have a close relationship, so he tried every means to get the Qing government to agree to the customs to try the postal service."
"The trial postal service of China Customs was first handled by Tianjin Customs. In 1878, the General Taxation Department appointed Decuillin of Tianjin Customs to prepare for postal service of China Customs. He took Tianjin Customs as the center in Beijing, Yingkou,
Five customs from Yantai and Shanghai will come to trial the customs postal service."
"In March 1878, the Tianjin Customs Letters Museum prepared by the Tianjin Customs Taxation Side Cuilin was officially opened to the society. It is the first post office letter museum in modern Chinese history to emulate the Western model. The old customs building located on the bank of the Haihe River
, used to be the office of the customs office, the customs letter museum was located in the building, and China's first set of stamps was also issued here. After the letter museum was opened, it was also to facilitate the receipt and delivery of mails and to regulate the customs' postal service.
In management, Decuilin prepared the first set of customs stamps in modern Chinese history. According to historical records, Decuilin originally sent orders for customized stamps to the UK a year before the opening of the letter museum, but it was finally due to the time period.
He gave up too long. In his helplessness, he had to ask the Shanghai Customs Registration Office to print a batch of stamps first for emergency purposes. These batches of emergency stamps are Dalong stamps."
Ouyang Tian remained silent. Zhou Bozhai felt Ouyang Tian’s severity. In fact, Luo Tian’s knowledge base was already sufficient. Is Ouyang Tian too strict?
"Luo Tian, don't be content with yourself. Always remember that there are still things you don't know. You know that you are very busy recently, but don't forget that everything you have is based on your ability. If you lose this ability, you will
He will lose everything he has." Ouyang Tian kept hitting him meaningfully.
This sentence was like a revelation. Luo Tian hadn't heard anything like this for a long time. He buried himself in a sensation of praise and almost got carried away. Luo Tian's face was a little hot. He thought he had been calm, but he didn't know something
It happened subtly, and it would be too late to realize it.
"I understand, I will continue to replenish the knowledge in my brain." Luo Tian took a deep breath.
Seeing that the father and son suddenly became cold, Zhou Bozhai hurriedly smoothed out: "Okay, let's talk about this stamp. It seems that it was stored by the owner of the comic strip. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I've forgotten it a long time ago."
Luo Tian put the stamp on Zhou Bozhai's hand: "Godfather, this stamp is placed in the antique shop. I will take the comic strip away, so I still have to read it."
"Okay, I'll tell them the value of the big dragon stamp and let them take advantage of the price." Zhou Bozhai carefully studied the big dragon stamp in his hand, went to get a ruler, and after measuring it, he said: "The spacing between the frames is shown in the picture frame.
4.5mm, the paper is relatively complicated, this is a big dragon with a broad edge..."
Ouyang Tian waved his hand to interrupt Zhou Bozhai and looked at Luo Tian. Now Luo Tian has woken up and immediately continued the conversation: "The big dragon in broadband was printed in 1882, and it is the second period. The space between the frames is about 4.5--5.0
mm, the paper is relatively complex, some are brittle and thin and easy to crack. Due to the paper size, the whole sheet of 3 cent silver was changed to 15 (5*3). Except for 3 cent silver, the other two types of printing are smaller. 5
There are very few new tickets in the world, and they are precious products, commonly known as yellow 5 points, and the new tickets in the whole ticket are orphans."
"This one is not a new ticket, and it is worth a lot." Zhou Bozhai said: "The quality is very complete, I hope that buyers who know the goods can take a fancy."
"In addition, there is also the Thin Paper Dragon: printed in 1878-1882, which is the first phase. The paper is tough and thin, slightly transparent, with a spacing of about 2.5mm, and the entire sheet in the later phase is 25 (5*
5) pieces, but the 3-cent silver sheet is 20 (5*4). This type is also the most printed. The third issue is called Thick Paper Dragon, printed in 1883-1885, paper
Thick and opaque, with a spacing of 2.5--3.25mm, and due to the relationship between mold wear and paper size, the whole sheet has been changed to 20 (4*5 or 5*4). Due to the hole punching machine, the tooth holes produced are bright
There are two types of teeth and hairy teeth. The one with light teeth is also called "thick paper light-toothed dragon". The one with fiber hair around the tooth hole of the stamp is called "thick paper hairy teething dragon."
Ouyang Tian's face calmed down and he nodded gently: "Yes, it seems that your brain is still running."
Since ancient times, it is natural for me to teach my son a lesson. Although Luo Tian is almost thirty years old, he has recently regained his parents and has regained this feeling of father-in-law and mother-in-law kindness, so he feels a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
The scene of hope is that although it is more than twenty years late, it is better than not.
