Some scholars note that Tibetan leaders during the Ming frequently engaged in civil war and conducted their own foreign diplomacy with neighboring states such as Nepal. Some scholars underscore the commercial aspect of the Ming-Tibetan relationship, noting the Ming dynasty's shortage of horses for warfare and thus the importance of the horse trade with Tibet. Others argue that the significant religious nature of the relationship of the Ming court with Tibetan lamas is underrepresented in modern scholarship. In hopes of reviving the unique relationship of the earlier Mongol leader Kublai Khan (r. 12601294) and his spiritual superior Drogon Chogyal Phagpa (12351280) of the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism, the Yongle Emperor (r. 14021424) made a concerted effort to build a secular and religious alliance with Deshin Shekpa (13841415), the Karmapa of the Karma Kagyu school. However, the Yongle Emperor's attempts were unsuccessful.
Who did the Yongle Emperor try to build a religious alliance with?
****
The answer: Deshin Shekpa

Some Flemish dialects are so distinct that they might be considered as separate language variants, although the strong significance of language in Belgian politics would prevent the government from classifying them as such. West Flemish in particular has sometimes been considered a distinct variety. Dialect borders of these dialects do not correspond to present political boundaries, but reflect older, medieval divisions. The Brabantian dialect group, for instance, also extends to much of the south of the Netherlands, and so does Limburgish. West Flemish is also spoken in Zeelandic Flanders (part of the Dutch province of Zeeland), and by older people in French Flanders (a small area that borders Belgium).
What kind of governmental boundary does dialect distribution transcend, reflecting medieval divisions?
****
The answer: political boundaries
