Maritime Silk Road

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I am very interested in Chinese history and often read history books as well as related documentaries. The first time I knew about the Maritime Silk Road was when I learned about Zheng He's voyage to the West, and I was curious about this history, so I chose this article.

The article seems to be relatively short, with more exposition of the historical part, but less content in other sections (or maybe it doesn't need much content itself). There are relevant sailing routes, maps, artifacts, etc. placed in the article.

Evaluate the article
The leading session is very concise and direct, the reader can clearly understand what the article contains by this part. The main object of the article is introduced directly in the first sentence. The content is light on several subheadings, except for the history section, where the Extent section lacks reference. The World Heritage nomination section about Taiwan being banned from UNESCO is not relevant to the topic of the article. Most of the article's references are relevant and valid.The History section has sections based on time periods and is relatively easy to read. There are no grammatical and spelling errors. The pictures in the article are relevant to the content, but the picture at the leading part is not very clear when enlarged.However, it is worth mentioning that the distinction between the Maritime Silk Road and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road is made at the beginning of the article to avoid readers' misunderstanding. In general, the article still needs to be improved, for example, the value and impact of the Maritime Silk Road can be added.
