First Day Cover of 2000 Seasonal Periods Stamps- Summer. Taiwan, RO China.
The designs of the stamps are as the following:
“Commencement of Summer”: Now the seedlings planted in early spring have already grown, and the fields are green and lush. The temperature is rising gradually, resembling the start of summer, and the warm flower-blooming spring is about to end.
“Little Fullness”: Now the crops in the field have already borne grain, so it is named the “Little Fullness.” Farmers tread water wheels to provide seedlings with ample water.
“Husks of Grain”: Most of the crops planted in early spring have borne ears of grain, which are ripening. The plants sag under the weight. The hot and humid plum rain season is about to begin.
“Summer Solstice”: The sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer, and it is the longest day and shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. All the crops have already ripened, the really intense heat of summer has arrived, and one can hear the calls of cicadas (locust, or harvest fly) everywhere in the trees.
“Lesser Heat”: With the weather growing steadily hotter, people use palm leaf fans to cool themselves. This symbolizes people’s adaptive abilities. As suggested by the name “Lesser Heat,” it is not yet the hottest time of the year.
“Great Heat”: This is the hottest time of the year, when people eat watermelon to dispel summer’s heat.
