Does anybody have suggestions to improve my East Asian and particularly Chinese history? I made a list of familiar overlapping contemporaries as far back as I could a while a go, and the main thing I learned is that I have a massive blindspot there. I barely squeaked through the mid 1100's and crapped out at Sappho or Ashurbanipal, but if I knew who the fuck "Xi of Zhou" or "Qinzong of Song" was I could have done better.
