《旧唐书·列传·卷五十》
武则天很称赞他的孝心，并下旨： 解琬孝性很是淳正，哀情恳切，坚辞任官之荣誉，乞请完成丧礼，这实可以激扬风俗，勉励名节，允其所请。
则天嘉之，下敕曰： 解琬孝性淳至，哀情恳切，固辞权夺之荣，乞就终忧之典。足可以激扬风俗，敦奖名教，宜遂雅怀，允其所请。
Wu Zetian highly praised his filial piety and issued an imperial edict: "Xie Wan's filial piety is very upright, and his mourning is earnest and sincere. He firmly declined the honor of taking office and requested to complete the funeral rites. This can indeed inspire good customs and encourage reputation. His request is granted."
