A fourth set in the series of Chinese Classical Poetry Postage Stamps was released on June 22, 1985_Poets' Day. The four stamps focus on the beauty of The Book of Odes, one of the Chinese Classics edited by Confucius. The entire piece was too long to be printed on a single stamp, so portions were selected under the guidance of Professor Yeh Ching-ping, Chairman of the Department of Chinese Literature, National Taiwan University.
