Recently, I have been reading some foreign history compiled by Chinese people (such as the medieval period of Western Europe). Is there any ancient history of China compiled by foreigners?

The Book of History was one of the earliest collections in China. It was said that it was compiled by the Five Emperors.

In ancient China, the year names were compiled in a certain order, usually by the emperor or other senior officials, and then arranged and filled in by the officials according to the instructions of the emperor. The meaning of the year name, historical background, status and prestige of the emperor, and other factors were usually taken into account to ensure that the use of the year name would not conflict or cause confusion. For example, from 1368 to 1644 in the Ming Dynasty, there were 12 year titles: Jingguo, Jianwen, Longwu, Zhengtong, Jingtai, Tianshun, Hongzhi, Zhengde, Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli, and Taichang. These year titles all had specific meanings, such as Jingguo to quell the war, Jianwen to establish the Ming Dynasty, Longwu to respect the emperor, Zhengtong to maintain national unity, Jingtai to improve the economic situation, Tianshun to welcome the destiny, Hongzhi to strengthen the central power, Zhengde to advocate morality, Jiajing to longevity, Longqing to prosperity, and so on. During the Qing Dynasty, the use of year names was even stricter. Every emperor would set their own year name and the scope of use of the year name was also limited. Among the 16 emperors of the Qing Dynasty, only Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing used multiple year titles. The other emperors usually only used one year title.

There are many history books about medieval Europe. The following are some of the more famous history books: 1. Sabiens: A Short History of Humanity by Yuval Noah Harari A History of Europe from the Romans to the Present by Richard E Woods 3 An Introduction to the History of Europe in the Middle Ages by John J Passham The History of Medieval Europe by Andrew Marr The Book of European History by David Graeber These history books covered different aspects of European medieval history, including politics, society, culture, religion, economy, and so on. Reading these history books can help you better understand the history and culture of medieval Europe.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was one of the famous historical novels in our country. The story narrated the historical background of the Three Kingdoms period, mainly about the political struggles and wars between Wei, Shu and Wu. There were many famous characters in the novel, such as Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, etc. Their images were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was also adapted into various versions and became an important part of Chinese literature.

In ancient China, there was a famous science and technology encyclopedia called " Heavenly Crafts ". This book was written by Song Yingxing, a scientist from the Ming Dynasty. It was an introduction to China's agriculture, handicraft industry, water conservancy projects, machinery manufacturing, mineral processing and other scientific and technological works. The book was known as the encyclopedia of ancient Chinese science and technology, and made an important contribution to the development of ancient Chinese science and technology.

Song Yingxing's Dream Stream Pen Talks was a comprehensive scientific and technological work in ancient China. It was written in the middle of the Ming Dynasty by the Chinese scientist Song Yingxing. Dream Creek Pen Talks was a book that covered a wide range of scientific works, including astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, agriculture, military, and many other fields. Song Yingxing elaborated his scientific knowledge and insights in this book, and analyzed and explained many natural phenomena. Dream Creek Pen Talk was regarded as a masterpiece of ancient Chinese science and technology. It had a profound impact on the development of ancient Chinese science and technology, and also provided an important reference for later scientific and technological research.

I recommend the following two novels to you: 1. "Let Go of That Witch" was a fantasy epic novel. The protagonist was a girl who traveled to medieval Europe and had a special relationship with the witch. There were also some elements of love in it. 2. "Medieval Heroes" was a historical novel. The protagonist experienced all kinds of difficulties and obstacles in the medieval Viking era in Western Europe and finally created his own legend. Although it didn't have an obvious element of beauty, it could satisfy your needs of being exotic. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
