France’s iconic postal service, La Poste, just dropped a fiery new release to ring in the Year of the Loong! 🇫🇷🐉 Two vibrant stamps and souvenir sheets launched Friday, blending Chinese cultural symbolism with French artistry. Designed by Chinese French painter Chen Jianghong, the collectibles feature swirling dragons in bold reds and golds—a nod to ‘loong’, the mythical creature central to Lunar New Year celebrations.
Chen, known for fusing Eastern folklore with Western techniques, told press the designs symbolize ‘strength and unity’ across cultures. 🌏✍️ The stamps have already sparked buzz among collectors and diaspora communities, with La Poste calling it a ‘bridge between traditions’. Fun fact: Unlike Western dragons, the loong represents prosperity and good fortune in Chinese culture—making these stamps a lucky grab!
Whether you’re into art, culture, or just love snapping up limited-edition gems, these stamps are a must-see. 🎨📮 Psst… they’re available at post offices and online!
