What do you mean by ancient China? I only consider anything before 221 BC to be ancient China. If that the case try
Cambridge History of Ancient China
I would consider Taiping rebellion to be part of modern Chinese history.
Try
[God's Chinese Son] (http://www.amazon.com/Gods-Chinese-Son-Taiping-Heavenly/dp/0393315568/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1346216640&sr=1-1&keywords=god%27s+chinese+son)
and
Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom
For something in between ancient china and taiping rebellion try
Imperial China 900-1800
There still 1300 years gap that I don't have good book to recommend to you.
For good introduction to modern China
try Search for Modern China Keep in mind that the book start at 1500 AD.
Has anyone read Spence's God's Chinese Son on the Taiping? His book The Search for Modern China was terrific, but I haven't read any of his other works.
