《南史·列传·卷八十》
元帝大怒，让人用钉把王伟的舌头钉在柱子上，用刀剜出他的肠子，王伟面不改色。他的仇人用刀零割他的肉，他低头观看，一直割到骨头才把他杀了。
昙朗走入村中。村人斩之，传首建邺，悬于朱雀航，宗族无少长皆弃市。
Emperor Yuan was furious, and ordered Wang Wei's tongue to be nailed to the pillar with a nail, and his intestines to be gouged out. Wang Wei did not change his face. His enemy dismembered him with a knife, he kept watching, and he was killed when they cut his bones.
