Ming basically got all the quintessential Han Chinese territory plus Southern min mountains. Han went all the way to modern day Afghanistan plus North Korea. Tang got what Han got minus Korea but added Mongolia. Northern Song did not have Gansu and most of Hebei. So basically if you want a map of „Core China“, just look at Ming.

Ah yes, back when Northern Vietnam had a city called Tokyo (Tonkin, 東京).

Because of *the Celestial Empire ideology,* which was the official ideology in ancient China-s, China would distort its narrative of its relations with foreign countries. Normal trade and diplomatic gifts would be misrepresented as tributary trade and tribute. Chinese diplomatic envoys would be misrepresented as administrative organs.
For example, the free tribes in the Amur River basin would be considered part of Chinese territory by Chinese Empires. In reality, the „Guard (Wèi)“ was essentially just a diplomatic representative, or even no representative at all; it simply meant that the tribals had traded with the Ming Empire and delivered some gifts to the emperors.
