Who was Ayurbarwada Buyantu Khan, Emperor Renzong of Yuan?
Buyantu Khan, also known as Emperor Renzong of Yuan, born Ayurbarwada, was the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and is regarded as the eighth Great Khan of the Mongols in Mongolia. His name means "blessed/good Khan" in the Mongolian language. His name "Ayurbarwada" was from a Sanskrit compound "Āyur-parvata", which means "the mountain of longevity", in contrast with Emperor Wuzong's name Qaišan.
Ayurbarwada was the first Yuan emperor who actively supported and promoted the mainstream Chinese culture after the reign of Kublai. The emperor, who was mentored by Confucian academic Li Meng, succeeded peacefully to the throne and reversed his older brother Khayisan's policies. More importantly, Ayurbarwada reinstituted the civil service examination system for the Yuan Dynasty.
