“管鲍之交”——蔡邕与曹操关系考论

On the Close Friendship Between Cao Cao and Cai Yong

结合对背景史料的分析,考察汉末名士蔡邕与曹操二人之间的交游活动。蔡邕比曹操年长22岁,而曹丕曾声称"家父与蔡伯喈有管鲍之好",为后来的著名历史事件"文姬归汉"的动因做出了部分注解。二人或因共同的好友乔玄而相知,由对诗文、音乐等的相同爱好到性情相投,同时,从蔡邕善于知人、乐于奖掖后进的性格来看,他对当时尚无名气的曹操应有一定的知遇之恩。

Combining the analysis of historical background,the paper will argue the friendship between Caiyong at the end of Han Dynasty and Cao Cao.Cai Yong lived in the time when Han Dynasty started declining;he was born in a respected and influential clan,and he was versatile and knowledgeable and had widespread friends’ circles.He is 22 years older than Cao Cao,and Cao Pi claimed that his father and Cai Yong had close relationship,which made to some extent the explanation for the reasons of Cai Wenji’s coming back to Han.There are few specific records about the contact between Cai Yong and Cao Cao in the historical events,in which they two might befriend each other for Qiao Xuan’s introduction,or have too much in common loving poem and music.Meanwhile,from the fact that he is good at judging person and enjoys encouraging backward students,he must have some help and kindness to unknown Cao Cao.
