樊廷，陝西武威人。 Fan Ting was a native of Wuwei in Shaanxi.

初入伍，更姓名王剛。 When he first enlisted he changed his name to Wang Gang.

廷率副將冶大雄等將二千人御之，轉戰七晝夜，與總兵張元佐等軍合，殺賊無算，盡還所盜。 Ting led Brigade Commander Ye Daxiong and two thousand men against them, fought seven days and nights, joined Zhang Yuanzuo's force, killed the enemy in great numbers, and recovered everything that had been taken.

時提督紀成斌護寧遠大將軍印，聞上，詔褒廷以寡敵眾，忠勇冠軍，賜白金萬，一等輕車都尉世職。 Provincial Commander Ji Chengbin then held the seal of the Ningyuan grand general; when word reached court, an edict praised Ting for fighting many with few, called his loyalty and courage unmatched in the army, granted ten thousand taels of silver, and ennobled him as hereditary Commandant of Light Chariots of the First Class.

副將軍張廣泗偵賊伏烏爾圖水，檄廷將千五百人自鹼泉子進剿，至哈洮遇賊，奪據山梁，連敗之。 Deputy Grand General Zhang Guangsi learned that the enemy lay in ambush at the Wueritu River and ordered Ting forward with fifteen hundred men from Jianquanzi; at Hatao they met the foe, seized the ridge, and routed them again and again.

乾隆初，上從查郎阿請，發甘、涼諸鎮兵五千人駐哈密，置總統提督，以授廷。 Early in the Qianlong reign, acceding to Zhalang'a's request, the emperor sent five thousand troops from the Gansu and Liangzhou garrisons to Hami, created a supreme commander's post, and gave it to Ting.

廷至軍，疏言：「烏爾克為極西第一要隘，兵出偵洮賴大坂北蘆草溝、噶順溝東亂山子及烏爾圖水，夜輒有火光。 On reaching the army Ting memorialized: "Wuerke is the foremost pass of the far west; patrols toward Taolai Daban report fires by night north at Lucao Gully, east at Luanshanzi above Gashun Gully, and along the Wueritu River.

贈都督同知，諡勇毅。 He was posthumously made Vice Commissioner-in-chief and titled Yongyi.

無黨、進義皆能勤其官者，行義捕盜，廷屢從戰，皆有勞。 Wudang and Jinyi were diligent in office; Xingyi suppressed bandits; Ting fought in many campaigns—all earned merit.
