蘇、黃訂交考

The Engagement of the Friendship Between Su Shih and Huang T’ing-chien

蘇軾一生的交遊，目前可考知的約有一千三百多人。其中，蘇軾與黃庭堅之交遊極引人注意，是研究宋代文史的學者必然會注意的一個重要課題。蘇門四學士之中，黃庭堅性行最佳，文藝成就最高，最獲蘇軾看重，堪稱是「蘇門四學士」之首。逐漸的，黃庭堅的聲名在「蘇門四學士」中異軍突起，進而與蘇軾並列。蘇、黃並稱，傳誦千年，本文以史證詩，以詩明史，詩文互證，析論蘇、黃之訂交及相關詩文、史事，蘇、黃不朽情誼肇端於此，值得我們探討。

The number of Su Shih's friends in his lifetime was about one thousand and three hundred. Yet, the friendship between Su Shih and Huang T’ing-chien was very important in terms of literary history of Sung dynasty. Among the four scholars of the Su school, Hung was the most exceptional one in moral and literary achievements. Therefore, Huang was the head of the so-called four scholars and earned a great deal of attention of Su Shih. Su and Huang are juxtaposed in the history of Chinese literature. This article tries to study the friendship between the two and its related poems, essays, and historical events, because these materials record the beginning of their important and everlasting friendship.
