In Google, quoting "...." means exact match, "+" means "must exist" and "-" means "must not exist".

@user3306356 It simply says Google indexed "劝和不劝离" the most while "劝合不劝散" least. It may not fully explain the term (I did not hear this before either) but sure gives a picture on how people on the Internet use these terms.

That doesn't answer the question at all. I know they all have the same meaning, hence the word `variants` in the question. The meaning is, likewise, quite clear. The question is: is there an official, widely accepted one of the lot?

<p>In these terms, I think 分 and 离 is more acceptable than 散. <br/>
 <strong>分</strong> usually used as a couple(not married) break up, <strong>离</strong> means a married couple divorced. <br/> while <strong>散</strong> is much less used in my experience.</p>

<p>Came across this, old(?), term today:

<p>A quick <em>baidu</em> gives me a lot of variants on this term though:</p>

<p>And </p>

<p>劝和不劝散</p>

<p>劝和不劝分</p>

<p>劝和不劝离</p>

<p>I would imagine anything with 和 would be a more widely accepted variant, than those with 合.</p>

<p>But is there a most widely accepted term among the whole 散、分、离 group?</p>

Proper term 劝合不劝散
# Proper term 劝合不劝散

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-09-04)

Came across this, old(?), term today:
`劝合不劝散`.

A quick *baidu* gives me a lot of variants on this term though:

劝合不劝离

劝合不劝分

And

劝和不劝散

劝和不劝分

劝和不劝离

I would imagine anything with 和 would be a more widely accepted variant, than those with 合.

But is there a most widely accepted term among the whole 散、分、离 group?

In these terms, I think 分 and 离 is more acceptable than 散.   
**分** usually used as a couple(not married) break up, **离** means a married couple divorced.   
 while **散** is much less used in my experience.
