《南齐书·列传·卷二十二》
我出入荣耀显赫，礼仪盛大，府第壮丽，行事却违背制度，虽然是宋留下的体例，蒙恩沿用，还是深感不当关于仪仗方面的陈请，仰望皇上体察。
臣出入荣显，礼容优泰，第宇华旷，事乖素约，虽宋之遗制，恩处有在，犹深非服之惭。威卫之请，仰希曲照。 
My comings and goings are glorious, my ceremonies splendid, my residence magnificent; my conduct, however, is in violation of the rules—although this was the system that Song continued to use and I have been privileged to do the same, I deeply feel that it is inappropriate. Regarding the request I made about the ceremony, I beseech Your Majesty to show consideration.
