《南史·列传·卷六十》
谢月兆曾有一次在宫中值班后回家路上登门看望江革，当时下雪天气严寒，他看到江革铺一条破褥子和一条单席，却沉缅于读书不知疲倦，感叹不已，于是脱下自己身上的短袄给他，又把自己的坐毡割下一半送给他当坐垫才回去。
朓尝行还过候革，时大寒雪，见革弊絮单席，而耽学不倦，嗟叹久之，乃脱其所着襦，并手割半毡与革充卧具而去。
One time, after having taken his turn on duty in the palace, Xie Yue Zhao called at Jiang Ge’s house on the way home. It was snowing heavily and bitterly cold, and he saw Jiang Ge sitting with a thin mat and a single cushion, absorbed in his studies and oblivious of the cold. This moved him so much that he took off his jacket and gave it to him, then cut his own cushion in two and gave him half as a seat before going home.
