You often need to fill in your place of origin on some forms. The dictionary says: Native place is the place of ancestral home or the place of personal birth. This is a scribbled explanation. Distant rural sounds, ancestral graves with lush grass, diaojiao buildings with slightly inclined walls, increasingly slim childhood songs, and self-contained rural customs. All these have become the most powerful evidence of native place, which implies all kinds of spatial depth and cultural habits behind a person's identity. I have seen a Chen family tree, a yellow thread-bound book. According to the book, Chen's ancestral home was in Jiangxi Province. In the early Ming Dynasty, he moved to a place called Baima Temple in Jiangling, Hubei Province. Three hundred years ago, some ancestors fled the war and scattered in Changyang. In the late 195s, Dalongping was transferred from Changyang to Wufeng. A foreign land has gradually become a hometown, which is a long and uncontrollable process. Now I can only fill in "Five Peaks" in the column of my native place, but not in Changyang or Jiangling or even some other place in Jiangxi. As a symbol, native place blinds too many historical sites for textual research.

As the spatial background form of a person's birth, native place easily entered the archives and began to become a symbol. No matter from the old paper pile or from the real life, we can find out its rich connotation. Politicians in history often take their native place as their faction, and naturally form various political factions, such as Chang 'an faction. In military history, there are even more brave "Xiang Army" and "Chuan Army" with a pipe in one hand and a rifle in the other. At this point, even intellectuals can't avoid customs. For example, the famous Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics and Tongcheng Prose School, whose artistic styles have been branded with regional signs, have maintained an amazing tacit understanding together with the spirit and blood flowing inside.

the division of native place has a subtle relationship with the spatial background of its contrast. The general situation is that when you arrive in the city, the same county will become your own hometown; In the provincial capital, the same city has also become a fellow villager; Out of the province, we are called Hubei people. Hubei people won the title of "nine-headed bird" with their own cleverness. However, when I return to the province, I will draw a 369 th class. For the first time, I heard that "it is Hanchuan to rape Huang Bei, to be cunning and filial, and to be cunning and cunning." I admire the ingenuity of Hanchuan people. Later, I learned that there was a following article, saying that "three Hanchuan guys can't catch up with heaven (door) and yang (yang)." It turns out that Tianmian talents are real child prodigies. It's those people who can pick out tooth worms the size of rice grains from people's mouths with a three-stick drum. These stories are similar to human jokes. If we don't think about them carefully, people will often ignore the connection between regions or places of origin and them.

the trademark function of native place is often more impressive. If the word Wenzhou is added in front of businessmen now, there will be a touching phrase: Wenzhou businessmen. At the beginning of reform and opening-up, those Wenzhou businessmen who went around selling "three-step" rat poison made mainlanders look down on them, thinking that they were shallow in culture and badly written, like chicken feet; Speak vaguely, like a potato in your mouth. It is this group of Wenzhou people who have never tossed enough, but they have created a business miracle that attracts worldwide attention. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Wuhan have just become a dock for Wenzhou businessmen to try their hand. In recent years, the "Wenzhou House Purchase Group" has become a team that makes China's real estate industry eager. Now even the authoritative media have to quote the word "Wenzhou Shoe Merchants" when commenting on the "shoe burning incident" in Turkey. Looking ahead, didn't Pingyao businessmen in Shanxi, who were "my elder brother went to the west, but my younger sister was hard to stay", also create the "Rishengchang" known as the "grandfather in the countryside" of modern commercial banks? Shanxi banks all over the country have to make people marvel that "it is the richest in the sea". Yu Qiuyu once elaborated in the article "Shame on Shanxi". In the business empire, native place has become an intimate element involving Shang Yexing Bob. How can it be summed up in a word?

The newspaper said that China will further promote urbanization in the next few years, which means that a large number of rural people will become city dwellers, and more new immigrant cities like Shenzhen will emerge. After several generations, their native place will change. The prevalence of Putonghua will also gradually drive the local accent out of our language communication system. A few years later, the dialect slang that stung the countryside may become the object that must be studied to understand, just like Tang poetry and Song poetry. With the continuous acceleration of personnel flow, the column of native place will disappear completely from all kinds of tables, and the homesickness related to native place can only become a sigh of ancestors hiding in rural graves.
