Is there a systematic and authoritative history book like China's Historical Records in the West?

What do you mean by the west? West and East are only later concepts.

The history books only record the history of China, Han Dynasty and neighboring countries. According to the comparison, the Roman Empire should be the most suitable for the Han Dynasty in China.

In ancient Rome, there were biographies of the twelve kings of Rome, and so on. Then Baidu can look at the history of Rome.

As for you asking this question, it should be because you saw the introduction of reasoning in the documentary and so on. I say the following personal views:

This is not because there are no historical records (of course, there are not many documents in ancient civilizations such as Sumerian civilization, just as there are no documents in the Xia and Shang Dynasties in the Middle Ages), but westerners are still very serious and responsible about historical records.

In the history of China, there are also phenomena such as convincing people by reasoning. This is what the so-called one-sided view means, such as whether Zhuge Liang, who has been very popular recently, wants to be emperor or not. . . Ps: I like Yi Zhongtian's lectures very much, because there may be mistakes, omissions, obscurity or contradictions in the history books themselves, so it is not surprising that historians will infer the real history based on various knowledge such as archaeology.
