The 苏门四学士 are 黄庭坚, 秦观, 张耒 and 晁补之, younger writers whom 苏轼 promoted. A line in one of his ci, 从来好事多磨难 'good things have always met many trials', is an early source of the idiom 好事多磨.
memory
晁 is a rare surname that sounds like 朝 'dynasty'. The best-known bearer after him is the Japanese envoy Abe no Nakamaro, who served the Tang court as 晁衡 and was a friend of 李白.
