《南史·列传·卷十五》
檀道济平时与王弘要好，当时王弘受皇帝知遇正深，檀道济更加拉拢攀附，经常连通徐羡之等人，王弘也非常依靠他。
道济素与王弘善，时被遇方深，道济弥相结附，每构羡之等，弘亦雅仗之。
In normal times, Tan Daoji was on good terms with Wang Hong, who at that time was deeply trusted by the emperor. Tan Daoji tried even harder to court and flatter him, and often joined forces with Xu Xianzhi and others. Wang Hong also relied on him very much.
