Its main purpose is to enrich the diversity of exhibition categories in China, to introduce a philatelic approach that enjoys a broad public base into national exhibitions, and to encourage more philatelists to participate in philately and exhibition activities.

Article 2 Definition

2.1 FDC Class Materials
FDC class materials mainly refer to envelopes, letter sheets, postcards, postal cards, etc., that are produced or cancelled on the first day of issue of a stamp. They may be unposted (produced but not mailed) or sent through the postal system.

2.2 Exhibits
An FDC class exhibit is composed, within a defined scope and around a specific theme, of relevant and applicable materials collected according to a certain logic and set of requirements, in order to demonstrate the exhibitor's collection, study, and research achievements in that thematic area.

Article 3 Principles of Exhibit Composition

3.1 An FDC class exhibit must be composed solely of FDC class materials.

3.2 The carriers of FDC class materials must conform, for their respective time periods, to the specifications and materials required by postal regulations at that time. If a carrier bears a design, the area covered by that design must be within postal requirements. If the carrier includes inlays, those must also comply with relevant postal and exhibition regulations.

3.3 The cancellation marking on the postage of an FDC class material must be an effective postal datestamp, such as a regular circular datestamp, a pictorial postmark, a commemorative postmark, etc.

3.4 FDC class exhibits may include design drafts for the FDC carrier, as well as proofs, specimens, etc., produced during the printing process. They may also include design drafts and die proofs of the first‑day commemorative postmark as materials.

Treatment refers to a clear exhibit theme, a well‑defined scope of the title, a plan that unfolds logically, with balance, narrative flow, and appropriate and complete use of materials within the thematic scope, as well as originality and novelty of concept.
