Mr. Chen, a famous stamp collector in China, advocates that stamp collecting should achieve "three A's": accumulation, analysis and achievement. Stamp collecting is the concrete embodiment of "exploration" and "achievement". There was only one kind of stamp collecting in the early days, the so-called traditional stamp collecting, and then postal history and postal supplies were separated from it. With the passage of time, aviation, aerospace, special topics, extreme categories, tax stamps, open categories, and youth philatelic categories have emerged. Stamp collecting, like other things, is constantly developing, changing and progressing. The first section is an overview of stamp collecting. Stamp group philatelic products are works that classify, arrange, design and arrange collected stamps, seals, films, strips and stamps according to different requirements. Before you start to make stamps, you must first determine what level your stamp collection will reach in the future, whether you play by yourself or close to the level of national and world-class exhibitions.
1? Self-entertainment stamp collecting itself has the nature of entertainment, and most stamp collectors belong to self-entertainment groups. Just like running and exercising every morning, the purpose is only to exercise the waist and legs, and few people want to compete for the world championship. The purpose of collecting stamps is to seek happiness, taste the satisfaction brought by the process of finding collections, and experience the beauty and profound knowledge brought by stamp products. When a person buys his favorite stamp, the feeling of joy and satisfaction is beyond others' understanding. No one has counted the average life expectancy of stamp collectors, but some people have counted that the occupation with the highest average life expectancy is music conductor, because their mentality is always in a satisfying spiritual enjoyment. These people organize stamp collecting and are not bound by any rules and regulations. They rely entirely on their own preferences and collect whatever they like, as long as they are fancy stamps, whether they are birds or famous paintings, whether they are architectural or sports stamps. They have no intention of spending huge sums of money to chase rare and overpriced stamp products, but the pleasure of watching their own stamps is not inferior to those who won prizes for collecting stamps. Among these people, some people organized a stamp album with surname postmark, others organized a stamp album with famous sayings, collected thousands of stamps of characters, researched their identities, backgrounds, achievements and works one by one, and extracted the most representative classic quotations. Someone organized a stamp album of university official letters to collect printed university names, which clearly showed the changes of university names in China. Someone grouped the stamp collection of Idiom Story, cleverly arranged several stamps to form idioms, and the creativity was wonderful. Although philatelists don't think highly of these philatelic products, they think they are worth collecting and enjoy them all year round, regardless of others' comments. They emphasize the happiness in the process of collecting, and don't pay attention to the results of collecting stamps.
2? Generally speaking, stamp collectors start from the bottom. When the grass-roots postal exhibition has achieved certain results, new desires will arise. Therefore, the initial topic selection should consider that it has certain potential and can develop to a higher goal. Stamp collecting in competition must be handled according to the rules, and stamp collecting should be arranged according to the competition rules and scoring standards formulated by the International Philatelic Federation.
