A rule on the protection of Maritime Silk Road cultural heritage will take effect in Fuzhou, capital city of East China's Fujian province on April 1. Many historical sites in Fuzhou have witnessed the development of the Maritime Silk Road. One of the most famous is a well-preserved stone tablet in the Minwang ancestral temple. The tablet is one of four dating from the Tang dynasty (618-907), whose inscriptions have recorded in detail the important role Fuzhou played in the development of the Maritime Silk Road.
