Today's topic: Are Western historical books less detailed than Chinese historical books?
The objective reason for the conciseness of Chinese history is that before the advent of paper and movable type printing, the cost of reading and writing was so high that many major historical events were only a few words in the history books. Even so, it is much more detailed than Western history.
The diaries written by leading soldiers to fight in ancient China cannot be handed down, and they are too subgrade. At the very least, it must be sorted out and refined into a theory and written into the art of war, which is of guiding significance, so that it can be said that it can be passed on to future generations.

Don't generalize. This can only say that we can understand most of the ancient characters, but some words have different ways of writing in ancient and modern times (not only the problem of complexity and simplicity), so we have to rely on guesswork. The comprehension of large passages of text requires a certain foundation in ancient Chinese and the ability to break sentences.
Therefore, the depth of Chinese civilization and history is really beyond the imagination of those who do not learn and do not know how to do it
