What do you mean by native place? Is it your place of residence or birthplace?

Native place refers to the permanent residence of grandfather and above paternal ancestors.

The native place of a citizen should be the place of residence (domicile) where his grandfather was born; If grandfather died, fill in the location of the household registration at the time of grandfather's 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 household registration, his native place will remain unchanged.

The domicile is not necessarily the person's ancestral home or native place, especially in economically developed areas, some new places that started construction after the founding of New China and places that have developed rapidly since modern times. A large number of people's native place is not their domicile place. Generally, these people moved from other places to new places after China's reform and opening up or in the era of planned economy, according to the distribution of countries at that time or 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.

Disputes over registration of place of origin:

In the statistics of organizations and units in China, the place of origin is a column that needs to be filled in frequently. However, many people are not very clear about the concept of native place, which leads to the confusion and inaccuracy of actual statistical information.

In order to avoid the loss of corvee and taxes, ancient countries registered and controlled their native places. At the beginning of the founding of New China, out of public security management and political needs, the native place project was established. Since the reform and opening up, there have been a large number of floating population and population migration in China, and the registration of native place has long lost its practical significance. In some places, the column of place of birth has been cancelled, and some schools no longer require students to fill in the place of birth information, only students need to fill in the place of birth. In Taiwan Province Province, there used to be a native place in the household registration, but it has stopped in recent years.

The insignificant native place makes the Chinese people at a loss. During the period of 1999, when the new version of cadres' resumes were re-submitted nationwide, the Notes on Reporting jointly issued by the Organization Department of the Central Committee and the National Archives Bureau confirmed that grandpa's birthplace was the basis for reporting.

However, for the fast-moving society (especially for ordinary people), this kind of origin registration is of little significance.
