It is believed that central China’s Hunan Province began to trade with Africa as early as 1,200 years ago.In 1998,more than 50,000 pieces of Changsha porcelain from the Tang Dynasty(618-907)were found in the hull of a ship that had been lying in Indonesian waters for more than 1,000 years.It is said that the merchant ship Black Stone sank on its way from Changsha,now the capital of Hunan Province,to North Africa.
