Reader comments
Moreover, the explanation of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in the book is also very interesting, reminding me of the "General History of China". Like this book, "General History of China" also tells historical stories to help us understand China's past better. I think both books are worth reading and can benefit people a lot.
