Extended information:

The birth of stamps is due to changes in the objects of postage collection: 1. Reduced postage 2. Calculated by weight Fee 3. Pay postage first. Communication has therefore entered the homes of ordinary people. Stamps are a form of payment for postal services by the sender.

The prototype of postage stamps first appeared in the mid-17th century. In 1653, King Louis XIV of France gave Verlaye the property rights to open a postal service in the Paris area. Villale set up a "small post office" in Paris and also set up post office boxes on the streets to collect and deliver letters every day. Veraye uses a label called a postage-paid certificate to send letters to users.

The sender puts the postage-paid certificate on or affixes it to the envelope, writes the date of sending the letter, and puts the letter into the mailbox. After receiving the letter, the post office will tear up the postage-paid certificate and deliver the letter to the recipient. This kind of postage-paid certificate label can be said to be the predecessor of stamps. This kind of label is torn off as it is used and has not been handed down.
