白居易的祖籍考

A Study on Bai Ju-yi's Ancestral Home

全面客观地了解白居易的身世,有助于理解白居易的思想和作品。实情是,太原是他的远祖籍贯,渭南是他父祖的安葬地,新郑是他的出生地,洛阳是他的安葬地,新郑、符离、渭南和洛阳又是他家人的客籍地,韩城才是他的近祖籍贯。

Knowing Bai Ju-yi＇ s life background thoroughly and objectively helps to understand his works and his thoughts. Although Bai Ju-yi had a close relationship with Weinan, the statement which many people now hold that Weinan was Bai Ju-yi＇ s ancestral home does not agree with the fact in history. In fact, Tai Yuan, Shanxi was the place where his remote ancestors lived and worked for about 200 years before Bai Ju-yi was born, while Weinan was the place where his grandparents and his parents were buried. But he was born in Xinzheng and buried in Luoyang, He＇ nan. His family members used to stay in Xinzheng, Full, Weinan and Luoyang. Actually Hancheng of Shaanxi was Bai Ju-yi＇ s recent ancestral home.
