摘要

<正> In March 2003, the State Postal Bureau issued a set of four special stamps celebrating China's historic bridges.Ancient bridges in China are noted and admired for their exquisite structures. They can be broadly divided into the four categories of beam, arch, cable and floating bridges. This set of stamps singles out four of China's most magnificent arch bridges.Maple Bridge in Suzhou is representative of bridge architecture in south China. The stamp's olive green background sets off perfectly this starkly beautiful single-arch bridge.
