Palace Attendant (Chinese: 侍中; pinyin: shìzhōng)[1] was a title in Imperial China comparable to that of Chief Minister, also known as Grand chancellor or Counselor-in-chief.[2] These are in turn collective terms designating the chief policy maker of the central government in Imperial China. They designated the head of the central government during the Qin and Han dynasties and during the Three Kingdoms period, the "highest official advisor to the Emperor."[2]
