“…The person of Pan Maoming is not part of the traditional canon of key intellectuals, through which Western historiography of philosophy and culture presents and interprets the philosophy, science, and culture of Ancient China to English-speaking readers. The name of Pan Maoming is not mentioned as in solid, time-tested multi-volume editions, for example, The Cambridge History of China (Twitchett & Loewe 1986;Dien & Knapp 2019), as well as in small articles or essays from Chinese studios written in English (Li Rui, 2019). On the one hand, this state seems quite justified, because, no doubts, the figure and theoretical legacy of Pan Maoming is minor compared to such well-known philosophers, scholars, religious, political and cultural actors as Lao-tzu, Confucius, Mo-Tzu, Sun-Tzu, Ming-Tzu, and many others.…”

The paper considers the philosophical, historical, practical, and futurological aspects of the whole complex of relationships between human and humanity with the Moon from being an object of cognition, exploration, usage, and development to total colonization in the paradigm of the global future and expansion into outer space. A "comprehensive" definition of the concept of "Moon exploration" is given. The article provides periodization and a brief description of the history and prospects of the exploration of the Moon in the context of evolution of goals, concepts, projects, and technologies. The concept of total exploration and colonization of the Moon is developed, which includes: a general model of the exploration process; a general super global project covering many individual projects; environmentally friendly technologies and projects (their general classification and examples). The main conclusions are formulated.

During the Northern and Southern dynasties period, northeast Asia saw the establishment of many states by an array of peoples of non‐Chinese origin, with those established by the Xianbei (Chinese: ; pinyin: Xiānbēi ) people as perhaps the most successful. Initially recorded as being subject to the Xiongnu confederation, the Xianbei emerged as major geopolitical players in the region after the second century ce . States established by those of Xianbei descent promulgated organizational and military innovations that culminated in the unification of north China under the Tuoba branch as the Northern Wei dynasty. Though the Northern Wei fell to a divisive civil war in the sixth century, the dynasty and its regional successors set many precedents for the later Sui and Tang dynasties, including their extensive patronage of Buddhism, urban and land planning, and administrative structures. The use of the term “Xianbei” as an appellation gradually disappeared in the Sui and Tang, but by then much of the northern elite, including the imperial houses of both dynasties, claimed descent from Xianbei families.
