The 26th Summer Universiade, Shenzhen (2011) (set with maximum cards) – cover

Similar in many ways to other large items from Guangdong Philatelic, this book-like item has 20 thick pages of mint stamp sheets, in all shapes and sizes, and an almost-first-day cover (with chop and stamp, but not together)–ending with two pages each holding two maximum cards.

Blessing on the Earth (set with cards) – cover
Another of these very substantial sets, issued in October 2013 by China Post. It’s a hardcover book in a heavy cardboard sleeve, the whole thing measuring 10-3/8″ x 10-1/4″ x 3/4″. What you see in this scan is how the book looks through the cover, and we have placed an (untranslated) white insert in the photo too. Apart from inner front and back covers, this item has five heavy pages, each with stamps, stamp sheets, or nine postage pre-paid postcards (you can see examples in 20307559B). At the very end, in its own plastic sleeve, there is a fold-out three-panel strip with three more cards resembling paper cuts on each page: a total of nine more connected cards. Basically, if you like elaborate Chinese paper cuts and drawings of ancient deities and daily life, this is for you. Grade: 1

Nanhua Temple (set with maximum cards) – cover
First, we are indebted to Wikipedia for this explanation of the temple: “Nanhua Temple (Chinese: 南華寺; pinyin: Nánhuá Sì) is a Buddhist monastery of the Chan School, one of Five Great Schools of Buddhism where Hui Neng, the Sixth Patriarch of the Chan School of Buddhism, once lived and taught. It is located 25 km southeast of Shaoguan, China in the town of Caoxi (漕溪), within Qujiang District. The location is in the northern part of Guangdong province, within a few kilometers from Bei River, formerly an important trade route from Central China to Guangzhou.” Now, to the item: issued by Guangdong Philatelic in 2013, a hardcover set in a cardboard sleeve, measuring 11-3/8″ x 8-3/8″ x 1/2″. Including front and inner back covers, a total of ten facings (four solid pages) with some text, all in Chinese. Of those facings, one has a strip of mint stamps; one has a booklet of stamp sheetlets; four have (postmarked) first-day covers; and four have maximum cards (see 20307561B). Two sets are available.
