君子之交,和而不同——论苏轼与秦观的交谊

On the friendship between Su Shi and Qin Guan

秦观是苏轼最中意的弟子,元丰时期他们相识、相知,元祐、绍圣、元符时期政治上同升并黜。"苏子瞻于四学士中最善少游"的原因是多方面的,有政治、文才、生活诸方面的契合。他们和而不同的相处、相交之道,对于今天的我们更有启发意义。

Undoubtedly, Qin Guan is Su Shig favorite disciple. During the Yuanfeng period, they got to know each other and later became bosom friends. During the Yuanyou, Shaosheng and Yuanfu period, they first got promotions and then resigned from their posts at about the same time. The reason that ＂Su Shi favors Qin Guan most among the four bachelors＂ is multifaceted. While they share many views in politics, literature and various aspects of life, the ways they communicate and deal with people are different. This type of friendship is of enlightening significance for people today.
