I like medieval stuff but I've nearly learned everything I care about in Europe. I want to get started on China, but I don't have the cultural background to dive in to anything detailed, I'd just get lost in a sea of missing context.

This is exactly what pop historians are for, but 80% of them just make shit up, so I need a recommendation.
