Due to unclear instructions, many post offices overprinted old stamps when China became a republic instead of waiting for the official overprints. These provisionals were quickly withdrawn. Other than having auction catalogs illustrating covers, it may be impossible to tell where they originate. The cancel on yours might help.

There are also fakes made of these overprints.
