Guangdong has a long history in this area. The portrait of the U.S. one dollar bill - of George Washington by Gilbert Stuart, was copied onto glass in Guangdong in the late 1700's and early 1800's, and the merchant who did the copying was later sued in the US by Gilbert Stuart.

December 23, 2010 at 1:07 AMFor a definition of the Holocaust, or for any other Jewish terms, please consult, 犹太百科全书， published by 上海人民出版社, an abridged translation of Encylopedia Judaica by Prof. 徐新of the Center for Jewish Studies at 南京大学。 Holocaust is defined at 纳粹屠犹（Nazi Slaughter of Jews). Hannukah is defined as: 光明节， 哈努卡节， 净殿节， or 献殿节。 （Festival of lights, transliterated, temple cleaning holiday or temple dedication holiday). "Festival of lights" is a common term, but it is really best understood as a holiday of dedication). Anway, the encyclopedia is probably the most authoritative source, and was written by a dedicated scholar. Mark
