Native place, also known as ancestral home or native place, generally comes from the father, and individually from the mother's side, which refers to the long-term residence or birthplace of grandfather and above paternal ancestors. The origin is the original origin.

According to the document of the Ministry of Public Security [1995]9 1, a citizen's native place should be his grandfather's place of residence (domicile) when he 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.

When filling in the place of origin, you only need to go to the county (city) specifically, and you don't need to refine the province/autonomous region/municipality directly under the central government+district/county.
