Ayurbarwada Buyantu Khan or Buyantu Khan (Born Borjigin-Khiyad Ayurbarwada, 1286-1320) was the 4th emperor of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in China.
[edit] Reign
Buyantu Khan stood out among other Yuan Emperors as an adopter of the Chinese culture. He was mentored by Confucian academic Li Meng.
Buyantu Khan was also known for his reform efforts for the Yuan government. Buyantu Khan's reform efforts included the disbanding of the Department of State Affairs (which resulted in the execution of 5 high-ranking officials) and the introduction of a civil examination system for public officials that was similar to the Han Chinese regulations. A race-based quotas were set for these examinations, allowing a certain number of both Mongol and Han Chinese to enter the government as civil officials.
These reforms were made at the displeasure of the Mongol nobility.
