Here is a little bit of recent Chinese history.
Stamps of China
Here is a good selection of Chinese stamps from the 1890’s to 1997. Whilst reasonably comprehensive, there are none-the-less significant gaps in some of the periods covered - [e.g. stamps from the early Cultural Revolution (1966-71) - these are pricey and hard to come by].
An appealing characteristic of stamps is that they not only represent postal matters, but inevitably also reflect elements of culture, history, politics, geography, finance (currency, inflation), art and religion.
