7. Lian Kuoru's Jianghu Talk: This is a book that systematically introduces all walks of life on Jianghu Road before liberation. The author was a famous storyteller at that time. Most of the things in the book are first-hand information even the teachers have seen and heard, so it is particularly vivid to write. In addition to introducing the early development of folk songs and cross talk, the author mainly exposes the faces of swindlers from all walks of life.
8. Lv Simian's A General History of China: It is very suitable for beginners who have a little knowledge of history but are not proficient. This book is not a general history of novels about emperors and princes. It is a macro-historical work that combs the history of China from the aspects of marriage, family, politics, economy, industry and culture. It looks a bit boring, but it is chewy every day.
10, Cai Dongfan's Popular Romance of Past Dynasties: If you want to read through the twenty-four histories, you can't persist without perseverance. Actually, you have to pretend. Cai Lao's book is good. He interpreted the history from Zhou to the Republic of China in a romantic way. However, the general joints are in line with the official history, with high readability and unified style. Of course, as an old scholar, it is inevitable for the author to mix private goods in the book.
In addition, guns, germs and steel and Mr. Qi Xia's Historical Research Law are recommended to master the basic historical concepts.
