《南史·列传·卷五十五》
当时天下太平无事，武帝正重视修治文学，王茂心里很不痛快，陪武帝饮宴喝醉后，每每溢于言表，武帝也都宽容并不责备。
时天下无事，武帝方敦文雅，茂心颇怏怏，侍宴醉后，每见言色。武帝宥而不责。
At the time, there was peace throughout the country, and Emperor Wu was attentively improving literature, which made King Mao feel very unhappy. After becoming drunk while drinking with Emperor Wu, he often expressed these feelings in his speech, but Emperor Wu was tolerant and did not blame him.
