Külüg Khan's enthronement as Khagan of the Mongols and Wuzong of the Yuan was a pivotal moment in the history of the Mongol Empire and its governance structure in the Yuan dynasty of China. Following the death of his predecessor, Külüg Khan, a member of the Borjigin clan, assumed the throne at a time when the Mongol Empire was facing challenges such as internal division and the need for renewed strength in leadership. His ascent was sanctioned through traditional ceremonies that brought together the ruling elites and tribal leaders, reinforcing the Mongolian customs of legitimacy and authority.

The ceremonial aspects of Külüg Khan's enthronement involved rituals rooted in Mongolian beliefs, including sacrifices and oaths of loyalty from the nobility. This event took place in a specific context; the Mongol Empire, once expansive and unifying, was showing signs of fragmentation. Külüg Khan's leadership was crucial for reasserting Mongol dominance both in Central Asia and within the territories that formed part of the Yuan dynasty in China, facilitating the integration of Mongolian and Chinese cultures.

Külüg Khan's reign would later focus on addressing the discord among various factions within the empire, a necessity for the continuation of Mongolian authority. His enthronement marked the beginning of efforts to revive the glory of the Mongolian Empire, while also managing the complexities of ruling over a diverse and culturally rich territory, emphasizing the dual identity of Mongol and Chinese elements within the Yuan dynasty experience.
