English: Every year's zodiac greeting postal postcards must be designed and printed in advance, and issued in advance on November 1 of the previous year. Just as the 1997 New Year greeting zodiac postcards had been printed and prepared for distribution as planned, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of P.R.China suddenly adjusted domestic postage rates on December 1, 1996. Postage for postcards no longer differentiated between within-city and cross-cities, and were all adjusted to 40 cents. That's why the imprinted stamp was surchanged from 15 cents to 40 cents.
