A set of stamps will be issued by China State Post Bureau (CSPB) on Sept. 25 to commemorate Yue Fei (1103-1142), a well-known general in ancient China.

Yue, a native of Anyang in central China's Henan Province, was known for his courageous actions and personal integrity in fighting against intruders.

The stamp products to be launched in Anyang include three stamps and a sheetlet, Anyang Mayor Jin Suidong said at a press conference held in Beijing Saturday.

Anyang is home to the treasure tortoise shells with inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty (16th-11th century BC). It is also the birthplace of the Book of Changes (Yi-Ching), a traditional Chinese sutra guiding people to make predictions.

China has issued stamps featuring inscription-covered tortoise shells and Museum of Shang Dynasty Relics.
