本文以作者与陈式刚先生自1993年相识以来的学术交往历程为线索，展现了陈式刚作为理论物理学者深厚的学术造诣与独特的指导风格．文章通过两人初见时对“三维映象”问题的讨论，到作者在陈式刚的建议下转向强场物理的探索，再到陈式刚对作者论文写作与研究方法的指导等典型事例，突出陈式刚始终坚持从第一性原理出发、直击问题本质的科研理念，以及他在“兴趣驱动”与“需求驱动”之间切换的学术智慧．陈式刚不仅引导作者在科研上不断突破，更以其“教学相长”“因材施教”的教育思想深刻影响了作者的学术道路和人才培养方式．

This paper traces the academic interactions between the author and Mr. Chen Shigang since their first meeting in 1993, highlighting Chen Shigangs profound expertise as a theoretical physicist and his distinctive mentoring approach. Through key instances such as the discussion on the “three-dimensional maps” problem during their first meeting, the authors transition into strong field physics research under Chen Shigangs guidance, and later guidance on scholarly writing and research methods, the article underscores Chen Shigangs consistent adherence to first principles and his focus on uncovering the essential of a problem. It also reflects his academic wisdom in balancing “interest-driven” and “demand-driven” research. Chen Shigang not only guided the author toward continual breakthroughs in research but also profoundly shaped the authors academic path and approach to nurturing talent through his educational philosophy of “teaching benefits teachers as well as students” and “educating students according to their aptitude.”
