父僧祐，安東錄事參軍。 His father Sengyou served as recorder-adjutant under the Andong commandery.

山陰，東土大縣，難爲長官，僧祐在縣有稱，琰尤明察，又著能名。 Shanyin was a major district in the eastern region and a difficult post for any magistrate. Sengyou had earned a reputation there, and Yan was especially sharp-eyed in judgment, winning renown for his competence as well.

年少時與北地傅僧祐俱以通家子始為太祖所引見，時上與何尚之論鑄錢事，凝之便幹其語，上因回與論之。 In his youth he and Fu Shengyou of Beidi, both sons of allied families, were first presented to Emperor Taizu; when the emperor was discussing coinage with He Shangzhi, Ningzhi interjected, and the emperor turned to debate the matter with him.

僧祐引凝之衣令止，凝之大言謂僧祐曰：「明主難再遇，便應正盡所懷。」 Shengyou tugged at Ningzhi's robe to stop him, but Ningzhi said loudly: "A wise ruler is seldom met twice; one should speak one's mind fully while one can."

傅僧祐，祖父弘仁，高祖外弟也。 Fu Shengyou's grandfather Hongren was the Founding Emperor's brother-in-law.

子邵，員外散騎侍郎，妻燾女也，生僧祐，有吏才，再為山陰令，甚有能名，末世令長莫及。 His son Shao served as Attendant Gentleman of the Scattered Cavalry, married Dao's daughter, and fathered Shengyou. Shengyou had a gift for administration, served twice as magistrate of Shanyin with great renown, and in the dynasty's final years no district magistrate could rival him.
