Many...

You can start here.
Classic of History - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zhan Guo Ce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Records of the Grand Historian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Twenty-Four Histories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FYI..the Chinese have more surviving written historical records than in the Greco-Roman world.

Just because you do not know about it...does not mean they are not "celebrated".
