If you want to increase your knowledge of history, I think as a China person, you should first understand the history of your own country. You can't even know the history of your country or even your ancestors. What foreign history are you reading? Besides, China's 5,000-year history of civilization is enough for you to see for some time. It is best to look at it in historical chronological order. If you are not interested in history for the time being, you can look at the parts you are interested in first, and then slowly expand after you are interested.
