王愷地即渭陽，家承世祿，曾弗聞於恭儉，但崇縱於奢淫，競爽于季倫，爭先于武子，既塵清論，有斁王猷，雖復議行易名，未足懲惡勸善。 Wang Kai, kin by marriage to the throne and heir to hereditary stipends, scorned frugality; he tried to outshine Shi Chong in display and to outdo Wang Ji in extravagance, fouling public opinion and the royal model. A harsher posthumous name could hardly punish vice or teach virtue.
