Editing Fujian (section)

=== Ming dynasty ===
After the establishment of the [[Ming dynasty]], Fujian became a province, with its capital at Fuzhou. In the early Ming era, Fuzhou Changle was the staging area and supply depot of [[Zheng He]]'s [[Treasure voyages|naval expeditions]]. Further development was severely hampered by the [[Hai jin|sea trade ban]], and the area was superseded by nearby ports of [[Guangzhou]], [[Hangzhou]], [[Ningbo]] and [[Shanghai]] despite the lifting of the ban in 1550.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}} Large-scale piracy by [[Wokou]] was eventually wiped out by the Chinese military.
