There are many books about the general history of China, but most of them are written by people from Hongkong, Taiwan Province or overseas. Maybe the mainland book is Lv Simian's A General History of China. It seems that the lower limit of the content has not been seen yet, and it is at most the 1980s and 1990s after the reform and opening up. A General History of China, edited by Fu Lecheng, a Taiwan Province native, has seven volumes, which became popular among Japanese and Singaporeans in Asia in the 1970s.

He also wrote A General History of China, which is also suitable for mainland edition of Guizhou Education Press. Taiwan Province Xu Zhuoyun's Historical Veins was published by Guangxi Normal University Press. Mr. Xu has been giving lectures in the United States, China, Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong all the year round. Now he is an internationally renowned historian in China. The feature of this book is to discuss the history of China from a global perspective, and at the same time, it involves many aspects of horizontal history, but it needs a certain foundation. Fei Zhengqing's America, China and China: Tradition and Change. Fei Zhengqing is regarded as the No.1 expert on China in the United States and probably the most influential sinologist in the last century. The United States and China is not a narrative of major historical events in China, but actually a cultural history of China, which is the common ground of overseas scholars' works. If you read this book on the basis of understanding the basic historical facts of China, it will be easy to understand. As far as content is concerned, it is both comprehensive and insightful, which is really rare. I was shocked, but I can't buy it. The latter one is more popular, and it is a concise general history of China.

Lv Simian's General History of China is rich in content and fluent in writing, which is not a dry language in textbooks. Lv Simian, a self-taught writer, together with Chen Yinque, Chen Yuan and Qian Mu, is known as the four great historians in China in the last century. If you want to know more about China's modern history, there are many books in this field, such as The Outline of China's Modern History by Guo Tingyi in Taiwan Province Province and The Struggle for China by Xu Zhongyue, a Chinese American historian. They are all very good, so I won't introduce them in detail here.
