This stamp was issued to commemorate the fifth animal in the Chinese Zodiac of he Lunar New Year – the dragon. It’s the fifth stamp in the Lunar New Year series that began in 2020.

The benevolent nature of the dragon extends to the famous story of the Chinese zodiac animals. Since it could fly, the dragon should have finished first in the Jade Emperor’s big race, making it the first animal of the 12-year cycle. However, along the way, the dragon saw villages suffering from droughts and flooding. Because he stopped to help, he fell behind the other animals. He even let the rabbit finish ahead of him, saving it from a wolf that had been chasing it. Based on these stories, it’s no wonder Chinese parents hope for children born in the Year of the Dragon.
