论苏轼与陈公弼、陈季常父子的交谊

On the Social Contact of Su Shi with Chen Gongbi and His Son Chen Jichang

苏轼与陈公弼、陈季常父子的关系相当特殊。苏轼任职凤翔时与陈公弼有矛盾,后来却一反常例为陈公弼作传;传闻贬苏轼到黄州是当政者想假陈季常之手加害苏轼,陈季常却成为苏轼在黄州交往最为密切的朋友;素有游侠之名的陈季常,却家有"河东狮吼"。真真假假的事实和传闻后面,表现了陈公弼对苏轼的严格要求、"爱人以德",陈季常的侠肝义胆以及苏轼不记前嫌的风范,为人们的交谊树立了典范。

Su Shi had a unique companionship with the father and son, Chen Gongbi and Chen Jichang. During Su Shi＇s tenure in Feng Xiang, he had certain conflicts with Chen Gongbi. In spite of the contradiction, Su still com- posed the biography for Chen Gongbi. It is said that the powerful people in the government wanted to persecute Su Shi through Chen Jichang by degrading Su to Huangzhou District, however, Chen Jichang became Su＇s most inti- mate friend. Chen Jichang, known as a member of the traveling swordsmen, had a shrewish wife surprisingly. The true facts and rumours showed Chen Gongbi＇s strict request to Su Shi and his spirit to care for people in ac cordance with the code of ethics, meanwhile, Chen Jichang＇s virtue of supporting the weak and curbing the strong, together with Su Shi＇s demeanour to forgive and forget, has been considered as the model of friendship.
