A bold New Year's price reduction! These stamps were purchased as a souvenir during a trip to China (Wuxi's Taihu Lake, where the filming facilities for Romance of the Three Kingdoms are located) over a decade ago. They are stamps featuring scenes from the classic Chinese novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." They are a set affixed to a black backing, and item ① is not a stamp but rather a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms advertisement," making it a very rare sheet. ♥ Stamp Overview ♥ ① Sheet (Not a Stamp) ◈ Value: No value printed ◈ Year of Manufacture: As it's part of a set with other stamps, 　　　　probably 1998. ◈ Design: Romance of the Three Kingdoms - The Longzhong Dialogue ◈ Design Overview: From the internet 　The Longzhong Dialogue, also called the Longzhong Strategy, 　refers to the strategic discussion that Zhuge Liang (Kongming) 　had with Liu Bei in Longzhong during the late Eastern Han Dynasty 　(known in Japan as the Three Kingdoms Plan). ② Stamp ◈ Value: 50 fen (approx. 10 yen) ◈ Year of Manufacture: 1998-18 (4-1) T ◈ Design: Baiti Tuogu (Entrusting the Orphan at Baidi City) Tuogu: Entrusting the support of a young ruler, orphaned by his father, 　　　　to a trusted senior official. ◈ Design Overview: From the internet 　In August 222, Liu Bei was defeated by Wu's general Lu Xun in the Battle of Yiling, 　and retreated to Baidi City outside of Kuimen, where he built the Yong'an Palace and went into seclusion. 　Later, Liu Bei died of illness, and entrusted his son to Zhuge Kongming and Li Yan. ③ Stamp ◈ Value: 50 fen (approx. 10 yen) ◈ Year of Manufacture: 1998-18 (4-2) T ◈ Design: Kongming Banshi (Returning with the Troops) ◈ Design Overview: ???
