                                1. Officials are referred to as shì 士 and daì fū 大夫. The word shì 士 can also include daì fū 大夫, therefore the term is often used for a whole body of officials.

                                2. Dà fū 大夫 "notables" is a general formal term for high officials.

                                3. Lì 吏 refers to officials in charge of concrete practical matters, often policing and the like.

                                4. Gōng 工 can be used as a general term for clerks.

                                5. Yǒu sī 有司 can refer to a person in charge of an office.

                                6. Guān 官 refers quite generally to the persons in charge of an office.

                                7. Shì zhě 仕者 refers to any person in public employment of any kind.

                                8. Lǎo 老 originally politely referred to higher officials (>gōng 公, >qīng 卿, >dài fū 大夫 ), therefore it came to be used as a general term referring to high officials.

                                9. Yuán 員 originally refers to officials as counted units, and the word came to be used as a general term for officials.
