First Day Cover of Seasonal Periods Stamps- Autumn. Taiwan, RO China.
The designs of the stamps are as the following:
1. "Commencement of Autumn " : The torpid heat of summer is soon to pass, and with the imminent arrival of the cool clear days of fall the farmers are busy cutting crops and drying them in the sun, taking joy in the harvest.
2. "Bounds of Heat": The heat of summer is gradually dissipating, but afternoons on sunny days are still very summer-like. Therefore, this period is called "Bounds of Heat." In this period, the farmers have finished drying
their harvested grains and have put them in granaries, which can be seen dotting the countryside.
3. "White Dew": As the hot summer gives way to cool autumn, the temperature variation between day and night grows, and the cool nights cause the moisture in the air to condense as dew, whose sparkling beads cover the grass,flowers, and leaves, as if to highlight the arrival of the cool autumn weather.
4. "Autumn Equinox" occurs when the sun is directly over the equator and the northern and southern hemispheres receive the same amount of sunlight. Night
and day are of equal length on the actual equinox, which is the first of this period. From this point on, there is a stronger sense of autumn in the air. It is also the time of year when the maple leaves turn red.
5. During "Cold Dew" it is now deep into autumn.The temperature is dropping, and the leaves are falling from the trees. The green hillsides are turning yellow and brown. Upon the land there is a sense of the coming cold weather.
6. By the "Descent of Hoar Frost" the sun is markedly favoring the Southern Hemisphere, and the Northern Hemisphere is turning cold. Sometimes in the early morning you can see a layer of frost upon the grass and trees: "The dew crystallizes into frost."
