I want to know the ancient story of China. What books should I read?

If you are young, look up and down for five thousand years. My Lord, I recommend three. China's General History, Shi's General History of China and Bai Shouyi's General History of China. The latter two films are newer than those of Fan Wenlan. But on a much larger scale. Fan Wenlan's is shorter and easier to read. But Fan Wenlan has historical limitations. If you look at it, you should take its essence and discard its dross.
