Ayurbarwada Buyantu Khan, known by the temple name Renzong, was emperor of the Yuan dynasty from 1311 to 1320. Educated in Confucian learning, he favoured Chinese-style government, curbed some abuses of his predecessor's reign and in 1315 restored the civil service examinations, although with quotas that favoured Mongols and Semu. He was succeeded by his son Shidebala.
