二十年，世宗以所得蜀俘歸之，昶亦歸所獲周將胡立於京師，因寓書於世宗，世宗怒昶無臣禮，不答。 In the twentieth year Shizong returned the Shu captives he had taken. Chang sent back the Zhou general Hu Li and enclosed a letter to Shizong, who, angered by Chang's lack of subject ritual, did not reply.

荊南高保融以書招昶使歸周，昶以前嘗致書世宗不答，乃止。 Gao Baorong of Southern Jing wrote inviting Chang to submit to Zhou, but Chang, remembering Shizong's silence to his earlier letter, let the matter drop.
