Auxiliary academicians or Zhixueshi were official positions from the Tang dynasty (618–907), Liao dynasty (907–1125), Song dynasty (960–1279) and the early years of Ming dynasty (1368–1644).[1] It was discontinued in 1381. They were editors, usually also holding nominal positions elsewhere, that were working for:
- Tang dynasty: Academy of Scholarly Worthies, Institute for the Advancement of Literature
- Song dynasty: Bureau of Military Affairs, Academy of Scholarly Worthies, Institute for the Glorification of Literature, and Institute of Academicians
- Liao dynasty: Institute for the Glorification of Literature, Institute for the Veneration of Literature
- Ming dynasty: Hanlin Academy
The position is relatively high in the imperial hierarchy during the Song dynasty.
