《元史·列传·卷四十六》
挺二十四岁时，汴京被蒙古军队攻破，因此到北方去依靠冠氏县赵天锡，在此与元好问、杨奂等交游。
父衡，佥陕西行省员外郎，以战死。挺年二十四，汴京破，北走，依冠氏赵天锡，与元好问、杨奂游。
When Ting was 24 years old, Bianjing was overrun by the Mongolian army, so he moved north to seek the patronage of Zhao Tianxi from Guanshi County. There, he associated with Yuan Haowen, Yang Huan, and others.
