In the traditional household registration system in China, everyone has a fixed place of origin, usually the birthplace or residence of parents or ancestors. Native place records usually contain personal name, gender, age, date of birth, parents' or ancestors' names, native place and other information.
In China, native place is generally regarded as one of the important identity symbols of a person, which is closely related to a person's family background, cultural tradition, social status, political economy and so on. Native place is often used to judge a person's native place, social status and cultural background, so in some specific occasions, such as job hunting and marriage, native place information still has important reference value.
