张兰青老师以亲戚Yu Zhen Wu名义报名参展的一框邮集《中国猴票之实寄》,曾在2022年度美国圣地亚哥邮票展览中以77分收获镀金奖,前言页写道中华人民共和国于1980年2月15日发行了最著名的邮票之一—T46《庚申年》特种邮票。这是新中国首套农历生肖邮票中的第一枚,纪念农历猴年。如今,未使用的红猴邮票被视为吉祥之物,备受珍藏。而真正经邮寄使用的红猴首日实寄封则极为难得。“红猴”由黄永玉绘制,邵柏林设计,雕刻师姜伟杰雕刻,采用雕刻版印刷。鲜艳的红色在中国文化中寓意丰富。这一系列的首枚邮票印量较少,且当时“文革”刚刚结束,集邮活动尚未普及,因此大部分猴票都用于邮寄而未被保存。后来,当集邮爱好者重新开始或新加入集邮时,这些猴票已经变得极为稀缺,因而被视为新中国邮票中的珍罕品。

One of the most renowned stamps issued by the People's Republic of China on February 15, 1980, is the special stamp T46 "Gengshen Year." This is the first stamp from New China's inaugural series of Lunar Zodiac stamps, commemorating the Year of the Monkey. Today, unused Red Monkey stamps are considered auspicious and highly treasured. Genuine first-day covers actually mailed with the Red Monkey stamp are exceptionally rare. The "Red Monkey" was illustrated by Huang Yongyu, designed by Shao Bolin, engraved by Jiang Weijie, and produced using intaglio printing. The vibrant red color holds rich cultural significance in Chinese tradition. As the first stamp in this series was printed in limited quantities, most of the Monkey stamps were not preserved. Later, when philatelists resumed collecting or newcomers joined the hobby, these stamps had already become extremely scarce, making them highly prized rarities in New China's stamp collection.
This exhibit centers on the postal usage of the "Red Monkey" stamp and is presented as follows:
