Bildnummer: 56845323 Datum: 09.01.2012 Copyright: imago/Xinhua (120109) -- WELLINGTON, Jan. 9, 2012 (Xinhua) -- Photo taken on Jan. 9, 2012 shows the 2012 Year of the Dragon stamp issued by New Zealand Post in Wellington, capital of New Zealand. New Zealand Post issued the stamp to celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year, which begins on 23 January 2012, in recent days. The individual stamps in this issue are as follows: 60c - Year of the Dragon. Calligraphy is a traditional Chinese art form, and the Chinese character for dragon expressed on the 60c stamp is from the Xi Xia Song stone monument. Carved in the Lishu calligraphy style, the character has an authoritative feel that reflects the strength and confidence of those born in the year of the dragon. $1.20 - Paper-cut Dragon. Paper-cutting is a much-loved Chinese folk art that became popular shortly after paper was invented. It is used for many Chinese weddings, ceremonies and festivals, and the skilfully crafted paper-cut dragon on the $1.20 stamp indicates prosperity, amiability and celebration. $1.90 - Dragon Lantern. Chinese lanterns are an important part of Chinese New Year, and the Chinese Lantern Festival marks the end of the 15-day Chinese New Year celebrations. The dragon lantern featured on the $1.90 stamp was used in the Auckland Lantern Festival, which annually celebrates New Zealand s multicultural society. $2.40 - New Zealand Icon - Dunedin Railway Station. Situated in the South Island, Dunedin was one of the earliest settlements for Chinese immigrants in New Zealand. Over the centuries New Zealand has welcomed many different cultures and this is depicted by the pair of swallows on the $2.40 stamp, which in the Chinese culture symbolise hope, blessings and happiness in the land.
