Where is Henan hometown?

If your grandfather or paternal ancestor lived or was born in Henan for a long time, then your native place is Henan. Native place generally comes from father, which refers to the permanent residence or birthplace of grandfather and above paternal ancestors.

According to the document [1995]9 1 issued by the Ministry of Public Security, a citizen's native place should be his grandfather's place of residence (domicile) when he was born. If his grandfather died, fill in the household registration at the time of his death. If the grandfather has not left the permanent residence, fill in that the grandfather should leave the permanent residence. After a citizen registers his native place, if his grandfather moves his place of residence, his native place will not be changed.

Native place refers to a person's original native place before moving to a certain place. The domicile is not necessarily the person's ancestral home or native place, especially in economically developed areas and some places that started construction after the founding of New China and developed rapidly in modern times. A large number of people have no household registration. These people generally migrated from other places after China's reform and opening up or in the era of planned economy according to the distribution of the country at that time, or immigrated to new places in modern times.

According to the tradition of China for thousands of years, native place is an expression of ancestral home, which is the difference between household registration and native place.

Generally speaking, the place of origin is paternal, and some are maternal; In terms of ancestral home, ancestral home refers to the place where ancestors lived for a long time, divided by region.
