Is this a postcard?

If not, what kind of card is it?

Thank you...

Does a [Trivia Card] typically have (on the flip side)
a multiple-choice question ?

Doubtful its a postcard. What are the dimensions? What's
on the other side?

It says "Famous Celebrity" and google translate
handles it. It's from Aristotle. Looks like a series.

A tea card from the "míngrén míngyán 名人名言" tea brand. It has a mistranslation perhaps making it more collectable.
