Republic of China – surcharges

There are several groups of surcharges on stamps of the Republic of China beginning in 1922. Chinese characters are arranged in a boxlike form in the center of definitives along with the value repeated in arabic numerals. Be aware that some provinces including Communist zones and occupation issues have used the same style on similar stamps, but often using different typefaces/fonts.
