Wikipedia definition
2. Ancestral home (Chinese)​In Chinese culture, hometown or ancestral home is the place of origin of one's extended family. It may or may not be the place where one is born. For instance, Physics Nobelist Tsung-Dao Lee was born in Shanghai, China, but his hometown is listed as Suzhou. A person's ancestral home is a rather vague concept, which can be defined by the birth place of any of his or her patriline ancestors. Su Shi limited it to five generations, i.e. it refers to the home of one's great-great-grandfather.
