This in Asia and elsewhere may be linked to the rural home of grandparents and ancestors of first and second or third generation city-born descendants. In China this is known as &#039;&#039;jiāxiāng&#039;&#039; ([[:zh:家乡]]), among other terms, and is legally entrenched in the [[hukou]] registration.

In India &quot;native place&quot; can refer to one&#039;s origin from very distant ancestors.&lt;ref&gt;Anand Giridharadas &#039;&#039;India Calling&#039;&#039; 2011 page 14 &quot;The most mystical new concept, though, was “native place,” which I eventually discovered was the village where my ancestors had most recently milked cows, even if “recent” meant the year 1500.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Urbanization]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{planning-stub}}</div>
