Tingwei 庭幃 literally means the place where parents live and is used to refer to parents here. This is an example of metonymy, “a figure of speech in which an object or idea is referred to by the name of something closely associated with it” (Reference: https://www.masterclass.com/articles/what-is-metonymy), which is very commonly used in ancient Chinese.
