Yu Song

Yu Song (fl.234 - 280), courtesy name Shilong, was an official of the Jin dynasty of China.

[4] While he was in Wu, he assumed the following appointments: Colonel of Striding Cavalry (越騎校尉), Minister of Justice (廷尉), and Administrator (太守) of Xiangdong (湘東) and Hejian (河間) commanderies.

Sima Yong, the Prince of Hejian (河間王), had heard of Yu Song before and he treated him respectfully.

Whenever he met and interviewed potential candidates to join the civil service, he did so in plain and simple buildings instead of in his office.

In response to Wang Qi's remark, Yu Song wrote to his nephew Yu Cha (虞察), "Those who recruit others to serve in the government had never ventured as far as into the countryside or society to search for talents.
