有司奏撰立郊廟歌，敕司徒褚淵、侍中謝朏、散騎侍郎孔稚珪、太學博士王咺之、總明學士劉融、何法冏、何曇秀十人竝作，超宗辭獨見用。 The responsible offices memorialized requesting that suburban and ancestral-temple hymns be composed. The emperor ordered ten men to write them: Minister over the Masses Chu Yuan, Attendant-in-Ordinary Xie Fei, Scattered Cavalry Gentleman Kong Zhigui, National University Erudite Wang Xuanzhi, Zongming Academy scholars Liu Rong, He Fajiong, He Tanxiu, and others. Only Chaozong's wording was used.
:　　今月九日，治書侍御史臣司馬侃啓彈征北諮議參軍事謝超宗，稱「根性昏動，率心險放，悖議爽眞，囂辭犯實，親朋忍聞，衣冠掩目，輙收付廷尉法獄治罪」。 On the ninth of this month, your servant Sima Kan, Reviewing Secretary and Attendant Censor, submitted an impeachment against Xie Chaozong, advisory staff officer for the Campaigning-North command, saying: "His root nature is muddled and rash; his heart is dangerous and unrestrained; his perverse arguments violate truth and his clamorous words offend fact. Kin and friends cannot bear to hear him; gentlemen cover their eyes. He should at once be arrested, delivered to the law prison of the Chamberlain for Law Enforcement, and punished for his crime."
