- What is clear is that Northern Wei's territory never extended into Korea or Mongolia. Korea (and Liaoning Peninsula) were then ruled by Goguyreo, and Inner/Outer Mongolia was then ruled by Rouran. --Nlu (talk) 17:35, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

- That's what I'm planning on doing. The only reason why I was hesitating is because, in all traditional Chinese historical works, you're going to find, again, Zhangsun instead of Baba, Mu instead of Qiumuling, &c.

The Taba Xianbei, however, disliked the idea that they were mixed blood of the Han and Xiongnu. Instead, they traced their ancestry to the Chinese legendary Yellow Emperor (Huangdi H^?, the symbol of "earth" of the Five Elements) in order ...
The Non-Han Emperors equated their state with the concept of China(中國).[1] Non-Han rulers expanded the definition of "China" to include non-Han peoples in addition to Han people, whenever they ruled China.[2] Yuan, Jin, and Northern Wei documents indicate the usage of "China" by dynasties to refer to themselves began earlier than previously thought.[3]
