The stamp printing of 300 Tang Poems adopts offset printing, intaglio carving and screen printing, and uses sandalwood ink, luminous ink, golden magic pearl ink, micro-carving, multimedia technology and so on. As long as you touch the light-colored part of the stamp pattern with a special reading pen, you will hear the music poems recited by famous artists, so that you can not only enjoy the stamp picture, but also listen.

The ancient books in the "untitled" pattern of the fourth stamp and the ancient paintings below the edge of the mini-pane are covered with a layer of sandalwood-flavored microcapsules on the ink. Gently rubbing the pattern will give off an elegant sandalwood flavor, which will make people feel the antique of this set of stamps more directly.

The Tang poems in stamps and mini-panes are all printed by block printing. The diameter and height of each word of the Tang poems carved in the edge decoration of the mini-pane are only 0.4 mm, which is the smallest and finest carving used in stamps. Although this sculpture is small, it is very fine under a magnifying glass.
