It has been generally accepted by Tibetologists that the early Ming court adopted a "divide and rule" policy toward Tibet. Ming Ch'eng-tsu in particular is associated with this thesis. It is believed that the titles and honors which he bestowed on the eight Tibetan hierarchs who are given special prominence in the Ming-shih were designed to promote fragmentation among them. In this dissertation both Chinese and Tibetan primary sources have been examined to see if there is any evidence to show that such a policy was formulated at court. The results reveal no such evidence, but other reasons which explain Ch'eng-tsu's interests in the Tibetan hierarchs are brought to light. It is found that the emperor had definite religious interests in three of the hierarchs, and maintained secular ties with the others. His religious leanings in this matter derived from his favorable attitude toward Buddhism. His secular ties to the hierarchs were centered around the trade in Tibetan horses and the need to keep the routes carrying the trade secure.
