早在1978年,邮票发行局曾建议发行马年生肖邮票,但未被采纳,于是打算出一套“良马”邮票,寓意马年,后来又改发行一套徐悲鸿创作的“奔马”邮票,1979年4月,中国邮票代表团访港归来后,建议仿照香港的做法发行生肖邮票,同年6月,开始组织我国第一套生肖邮票的设计。 As early as 1978, the stamp issuing bureau had proposed the issue of the Lunar New Year stamps, but it was not adopted. Therefore, he planned to issue a set of stamps of “good horse” which symbolized the Year of the Horse and later released a set of “ Ma ”stamp. In April 1979, after returning from a visit to Hong Kong, the Chinese stamp delegation recommended that the stamp should be issued in the style of Hong Kong. In June of the same year, the stamp stamp design of our first set of stamps was started.
