A History of Chinese Civilization door Jacques Gernet
So far (~200 pages in) this is kind of a slog. I remember reading Gernet's "Daily Life in China" and thinking it was fairly vivid, but this ... it's hard to pinpoint the issue with the writing, but it just fails to register. Maybe it's me.

History of Chinese civilisation door Jacques Gernet
A useful book. Limited by book-burning by First Emperor, a couple of thousand years ago. The usual story of continual movements of peoples and leaders, power shifts with frequent incursions by outsiders, and wars. Against the background of historical empires in Manchuria or Mongolia, or Tibet, or Central Asia (eg Xinjiang), one can question some of the claims of Communist China about who owns what and how pure their people are.
