外祖犯罪流安西效力，守胡城南門，頗讀書，每坐常清於城門樓上，教其讀書，多所歷覽。 His maternal grandfather, banished to Anxi for a crime, guarded the south gate of Hucheng, was well read, and each day sat Changqing on the gate tower to teach him — the boy read widely.

外祖死，常清孤貧，年三十餘，屬夫蒙靈察為四鎮節度使，將軍高仙芝為都知兵馬使，頗有材能，每出軍，奏傔從三十餘人，衣服鮮明。 After his grandfather died Changqing was left poor and alone. Past thirty, Fumeng Lingcha was commissioner of the Four Garrisons and Gao Xianzhi commander — a capable man who marched with thirty-odd brilliantly dressed attendants.
