Yan Song (Chinese: 嚴嵩; pinyin: Yán Sōng; 1480–1567), courtesy name: Weizhong (惟中), pseudonym: Jiexi (介溪), was a corrupt Ming Chinese politician, who dominated the Ming government for two decades as Grand Secretary during the reign of the Jiajing Emperor.
Famous quotes containing the word song:
“The screech and mechanical uproar of the big city turns the citified head, fills citified ears—as the song of birds, wind in the trees, animal cries, or as the voices and songs of his loved ones once filled his heart. He is sidewalk- happy.”
—Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)
