Emperor Huanzong of Western Xia (1177–1206), born Li Chunyou (Chinese: 李純祐), was the sixth emperor of the Western Xia dynasty of China, reigning from 1193 to 1206.
[3] He was the son of Emperor Renzong, and tried to follow the policies dictated by his father.

[citation needed] Also in 1205, the Mongols began their first invasion of the Western Xia, pillaging and burning many outlying villages and cities.
In 1206, his cousin Li Anquan, who became Emperor Xiangzong, started a coup d'état and took power from Huanzong.
