China has launched a series of underwater archaeological projects in its segment of the Maritime Silk Road. A shipwreck carrying Five-Dynasty Yue Kiln celadon was discovered in Pingtan, Fujian Province. Shipwrecks of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties were found in the sea areas of Lianjiang, Putian, Longhai, Pingtan and Zhangpu, Fujian Province. Underwater archaeological excavations were conducted for the Song Nanhai Ⅰ, Huaguangjiao Ⅰ, Ming Nan’ao Ⅰ and Qing Wanjiao Ⅰ shipwrecks in the sea areas of Guangdong, Fujian and Hainan Provinces. These underwater archaeological projects represent a great academic achievement which could have great reference value and significance for related research on the Maritime Silk Road.
