建国初期,我国邮票发行部门曾连续发行了五组“伟大的祖国”特种邮票,这也是新中国首次尝试发行系列邮票。其中第五组“古代文物”邮票从筹印到正式发行历时将近三年,期间邮票图案上文物的取舍几次更换。究其原因,有因文物本身价值或代表性不足而被舍弃的,也有因当时所处的历史或社会原因而未能登台亮相的。其中“达摩像·明代陶瓷”就因其“特殊身份”而未能入选方寸之地。 In the early days of the founding of New China, five stamps of “Great Motherland” special stamps were successively issued by the stamp issuing department in our country. This is the first time New China has tried to issue a series of stamps. The fifth group of “antiquities” stamps went from printing to formal issuance for nearly three years, during which the selection of relics on the stamps was changed several times. The reason for this is that cultural relics were discarded because of their own value or lack of representativeness, or because of historical or social reasons at the time they were not able to stage their debut. Among them, “Bodhgumi Ming Dynasty Ceramics” because of their “special status ” and failed to enter the square.
