父寧，有高操，談辯可喜。 His father Ning was high-minded, eloquent, and engaging in discourse.

擢明經，調臨渙主簿，棄官還夏，與陽城為莫逆交。 Ning passed the Mingjing, served as Linhuan chief clerk, quit office, returned home to Xia, and became Yang Cheng's closest friend.

德宗以諫議大夫召城，城未拜，詔寧即諭，與俱來。 Dezong summoned Cheng as Left Remonstrator; before Cheng accepted, the throne ordered Ning to urge him, and both arrived.

齊運入為京兆尹，表奉先主簿，拜監察御史，坐累免。 When Qiyun became Jingzhao magistrate, he recommended Ning as Fengxian chief clerk; Ning became Attending Censor but was dismissed for a fault.
