Features: Three hundred and sixty trades are familiar to people. This album not only selects the prosperous 19th-century Guangzhou commercial port as the background but also uses the "Chinese Trade Painting" style, which combines Chinese folk painting techniques and Western European painting techniques and was already popular worldwide at the time. Editor Professor Huang Shijian dramatically brought hundreds of "Chinese Trade Paintings" depicting "Three Hundred and Sixty Trades" all the way back from overseas to their place of origin, allowing readers to witness the charm of the "Chinese Trade Painting" that was once popular worldwide and also understand people's perceptions of the so-called "Three Hundred and Sixty Trades" at the time. This album is entirely in a bilingual Chinese-English format, with corresponding "Zhuzhi Ci" or annotations below each image, adding interest to the readers' review.
