Stamp details:
60c – Year of the Rabbit
Through one of the oldest styles of calligraphy, the 60c stamp features a Chinese character that reflects the awareness and alertness of the rabbit. Lunar celebrations have become more and more popular in recent years with festivities occurring all over New Zealand.
60c 分值—兔年
60分值的邮票使用了“兔”字最古老的一些书写方式－隶书，用此向人们告知兔年来临的这一信息。近年来，新西兰各地也开始越来越重视对中国农历佳节的庆祝。
$1.20 – Paper-cut Rabbit
The distinctive art of Chinese papercutting dates back to the 6th century when women pasted gold and silver foil cuttings onto their hair at temples. Today, paper cutting is a pastime enjoyed by many young Kiwi children. A paper-cut rabbit appears on the $1.20 stamp conveying liveliness and peace.
$1. 20分值－剪纸兔
中国的剪纸文化拥有悠久的历史。始于公元6世纪，当时女子们在庙里剪切涂有金银的纸片，并将此作为发饰。现在，剪纸依然作为休闲活动而为新西兰的青少年们津津乐道。120分值的剪纸兔以其生动的形象象征和平与安详。
$1.90 – Painted Rabbit
The Chinese meticulous painting technique is characterised by highly detailed brushstrokes. It is often vibrant in colour and depicts narrative subjects. The $1.90 stamp uses this technique to portray the well known Chinese story in which the rabbit jumps down from the moon (where the essence of the rabbit is said to have originated).
$1. 90分值－彩绘兔
中国神奇的印刷术以对细节高度的刻画而闻名。对于色彩的灵活运用以及对于细节的把握使得画中之兔栩栩如生地展现在我们面前。190分值的邮票运用此彩印技术描绘了那只广为人知的月中之兔（相传其为最古老的兔子起源）。
$2.40 – New Zealand Icon
Kites are an important part of the Chinese culture and appear at Chinese festivals around the world. The first Chinese kites were made using silk and bamboo more than 2000 years ago. The $2.40 stamp shows a traditional Chinese kite being flown above the Christchurch Cathedral in New Zealand.
$2. 40分值－新西兰的标志
风筝是中国文化的一个重要组成部分，并在农历佳节时广泛出现于世界各地。最早的风筝出现于离现2000多年之前，由丝绸和竹子制成。240分值的邮票展现了一只中国风筝飘翔于新西兰基督城大教堂上空的这一祥和的景象。
