Native place refers to the place of birth or residence?

Native place is the place where your grandparents lived. When you were born, you usually followed your father. For example, you were born in Shanghai, but your parents' hometown is Zhejiang, so you are from Zhejiang.

A registered permanent residence is the address written in the registered permanent residence book, which refers to the location of your registered permanent residence, but it is possible that you do not live at this address. The place of birth is where you were born. Household registration and household registration are actually the same meaning, which refers to the place where you live now, but your household registration may not be in this place.

The frequency of using native place is still high. According to the tradition of China for thousands of years, native place is an expression of ancestral home. Since modern times and since the reform and opening up, there have been a large number of floating population and population migration in China. A large number of people regard their parents' domicile as their birthplace, but they don't know or forget their ancestral home, which is very wrong.

The domicile refers to the domicile of China citizens before the age of 18, that is, the place of birth (according to the latest geographical division) or residence, not the domicile of parents or grandparents. And the "ancestral home" should be traced back to which generation, usually great-grandparents.

Ancestral place is the permanent residence of an ancestor of a family group in a certain period, which refers in detail to the permanent residence or birthplace of great-grandfather and above paternal ancestors. Some people who have left their ancestors' birthplace or hometown still trace their descendants back to their ancestors' birthplace or hometown (that is, ancestral home) as their birthplace.
