父逢，咸通中為秘書監，以才名著於時。 His father Feng served as Director of the Palace Library under Emperor Yizong and was widely celebrated for his gifts as a writer.

初，廷珪父逢，著《鑿混沌》、《真珠簾》等賦，大為時人所稱。 Tinggui's father Feng had earlier written celebrated rhapsodies such as Boring Through Chaos and Pearl Curtain that won wide praise in their day.
