You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Yan Song''' (((zh|s=严嵩|t=嚴嵩|p=Yán Sōng|w=Yen Sung)); 1480–1567), [[Chinese courtesy name|courtesy name]] '''Weizhong''' (惟中), [[Art name|pseudonym]] '''Jiexi''' (介溪), was a Chinese politician and regent of the [[Ming dynasty]]. He was notorious for being corrupt and for dominating the Ming government for two decades as [[Grand Secretariat|Grand Secretary]] during the reign of the [[Jiajing Emperor]].

==Biography==

===Early life===
Yan Song was born in [[Fenyi County|Fenyi]], modern-day [[Jiangxi]] province. His father, a scholar who had repeatedly failed the [[imperial examination]], while put great effort into educating his son from childhood. A talented scholar, he passed the village examinations at the age of 10, and acquired the ''[[jinshi (imperial examination)|jinshi]]'' degree at the age of 25, being inducted into the imperial secretariat ([[Hanlin Academy]]) as an editor.

His early career was quickly cut short by a severe illness which forced Yan Song to return to his hometown, though this proved to be a blessing in disguise, since it kept him away from the imperial court just as it was under the domination of powerful [[eunuch]] [[Liu Jin]].

Yan Song returned to [[Beijing]] not long after the fall of Liu Jin, returning to work in the [[Hanlin Academy]] in both Beijing and auxiliary capital Nanjing.

===Senior Grand Secretary===

Yan Song was the Senior Grand Secretary under the [[Jiajing Emperor]] from 1544 to 1545 and from 1548 to 1562. Yan was a close ally of [[Zhao Wenhua]].<ref name="Cosmo2009">((cite book|author=Nicola Di Cosmo|title=Military culture in imperial China|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=F3baSe8QlPUC&pg=PA322|access-date=28 May 2013|year=2009|publisher=Harvard University Press|isbn=978-0-674-03109-8|pages=322))</ref> During his second term as Senior Grand Secretary, he and his son ((ill|Yan Shifan|zh|嚴世蕃)) dominated court politics with the tacit consent of the fatuous monarch who shirked his responsibilities as emperor and devoted much of his time to sensual pleasures and [[Taoism|Taoist]] practices. Yan Song's wealth is said to have been so great as to have been comparable to that of the emperor. He is also well known for his corruption and had been known to openly sell government positions for cash during the Jiajing Emperor's reign, but his corruption and treachery created many political opponents. In order to suppress dissent, he had prominent critics such as [[Yang Jisheng (statesman)|Yang Jisheng]] imprisoned and executed. Yan Song was finally disgraced in his later years and died in poverty not long after that, while his son, Yan Shifan, was executed for collaborating with the [[Wokou|wokou pirates]] who invaded Chinese coastal provinces [[Jiajing wokou raids|at the time]].

He was the subject of the [[Chinese opera]] called ''Beating Yan Song'' (打嚴嵩 Dǎ Yán Sōng).
