In recent years, postgraduate enrollment has been increasing greatly and the number of postgraduate students is also increasing year by year. Therefore, the harmonious issue of supervisor-postgraduate relationship becomes an academic hot-spot. However, daily supervisor-postgraduate relationship is affected by the universal application of instrumental reason. In view of this, this paper draws on the core connotation of Habermas' theory of interactional behaviour to analyse the real dilemma of the current mentoring relationship, and to reconstruct the new era of graduate student mentoring relationship of mutual respect, understanding, equality, and harmonious coexistence in terms of four dimensions: interactional rationality, language, life world, and intersubjectivity.
