'''Yang Wanli''' (or '''Yang Wan-Li''') ({{zh|first=t|t=楊萬里}}) (29 October 1127 – 1206), [[courtesy name]] '''Yanxiu''' (延秀), was a Chinese [[Chinese poetry|poet]] and politician, born in Jishui, Jizhou (today [[Jishui County]], Jiangxi). He was one of the "four masters" of the Southern [[Song dynasty]] poetry. 

Written during the final exile of the Song to [[Hangzhou]], the poems celebrate the beauties and mysteries of nature, flora and fauna, much as the famed Song painters did. But they also querulously and wittily illuminate the annoyances and pleasures of everyday life.

He passed his [[Jinshi (imperial examination)|jinshi]] exams in 1154 (24th year of the [[Emperor Gaozong of Song|Shaoxing era]]) and served a number of minor official posts in the Song Dynasty.
