what an opportunity for you to learn some basic history, heraldry, and philately.
at the top you have the flag of Taiwan, ergo...
most of the rest are from China, but my eyes and your image conspire to make them difficult to ID.
As Bob I said in another response to another post, you ought not consider us your free labor.
We can teach you HOW to do the research, if you're interested;

Most of the stamps which appear in your photo appear to be Rep of China. Except for the two Hong Kong stamps (marked as such). And one light blue stamp along the right-hand border. (Too blurry to identify.)
None of the stamps which appear in your photo appear to be significant in terms of (current) catalogue value. However, this is a nice selection of ROC stamps, and includes a number of overprints.
If you’re new to the hobby you’ve started at a good time. Arguably there are more free/no-cost philatelic resources available via the Internet than ever before. Further, good quality (recent vintage) pre-owned sets of Scott cataloges can be purchased via the Internet often at very reasonable prices.
As stated by a fellow respondent (to your earlier postings), many community libraries include the Scott catalogue in their collections.
If you decide that China is to be your area of focus, recommend joining the Chinese Stamp Society. It’s a good group of folks, publishes a quarterly newsletter, and offers identification assistance to members.
In closing, believe forums such as Stamporama are the future of the hobby. The members possess a wealth of philatelic knowledge which they are willing to share with like-minded collectors. However, like much in life, it requires BOTH give and take.

I've been using the FREE catalog at Stampworld.com and found it much better than Scott's due to the fact they show almost all stamps in a set, instead of just one example. Plus, if a country issues stamps with a date on them, it certainly makes it even easier, even though most countries do not put dates on their stamps. We wouldn't want it too easy, would we?
Good luck in your endeavor and the more you research your own stamps the easier it will be to identify the countries, which is sometimes challenging, but very rewarding and exciting, to me at least.
