The name is the most common cultural phenomenon of the human society, and specific cultural symbols with a certain social connotations, by which people are different from the others. Therefore, Names is an important sign to identify the members of the society and a very important component of the national culture. To a certain extent, reflecting the people's values orientation, the name explore in greater depth. Research on this subject is not only the basis of ideology of the history of the Han Dynasty social thought, but also is one of the unavoided subjects on the Study of thought history,even the history of China.By the names reflecting the thinking of the social, through Categoring and Parallelism analysizing the names of the "Wu Zhao xuan yuan"period, this paper preliminarily describes the changing trajectory of the social thoughts during "Wu Zhaoxuan Yuan" period .This paper is divided into four parts:PartⅠ:Names influenced by the thoughts of Huang-lao(Huangdi and laozi).The thought of Huang-lao had been dominant for more than fifty years in Xihan Dynasty ,in which the value conception of "living forever" deeply influenced the people of xihan Dynasty. As the certainly result of the reflection, a lot of the names which reflected the thoughts of longevity,such as Yannian,Changnian,Wannian,Nian,Yanshou,Yishou,Zengshou,Shouwang,Pengzu,Qianqiu,Weiyang,Zonggu,Anqi,Zengji and so on, appeared in large numbers; Meanwhile,Wushang,Wuhai,Wuyou,Buhai,Qubing,Qiji,Bingyi,Heshang and so on,these " speedly disposable disease"names also emerged in a large scale. The focus on emerging of these names in the period of emperor wu proves that the thought of Huang-lao has not been disappeared with the implementation of "overwhelming Confucianism", at least in the period of Emperor wu, and that it still has very important impact in people's social life.PartⅡ: Names under the impaction of utilitarian. The Wushu worship customs inherited Pre-Qin, In addition Wu Emperor's openning up the frontier and in which process civilian military merit Marquis emerged in a large number together make the atmosphere even more rich. Therefore, "warlike" names such as Wu, Yong, Ba, Sheng emerged naturally and the names which closely related to the levy such as Guangguo,Dingguo,Anguo,Chongguo,Guanghan,Dinghan,Pohu,Miehu, Shenghu and the names such as Gong,Qing, Jun, Weng, Wang-sun , Gongzi are also popular during the Emperor wu. These three categories names are, in essence, reflects a tendency of utilitarianism. So we conclude that utilitarianism is a society thoughts which can not be ignored in the peoples' social life of the period of Emperor Wu. PartⅢ: The names relectting the influence of Confucian thought. Emperor wu carry out the initiative of "overwhelming Confucianism," and set up Confucianism Dr.and disciples, thereafter Confucianism developped rapidly.Till Emperor Yuan period, Confucianism had been made an overwhelming and absoluted superiority to the thought of Huang-lao and utilitarian not only in the political life, but also in social life. Previous Saints' names -Yao, Shun and Yu, Tang;The names of Confu's talented apprentices such as Shang,Ci,Yan,You,Hui,JI, Zi Xia, Ziyou,Zisi,Zi Zhang,Zigan, zigao;as well as the names reflecting ethics such as Zhong, Ren,Gong,Qin,Hui,Bo,Xian appeared in large numbers in this period,however the names reflectting the thought of Huanglao and utilitarianism markedly decreased. This From the level of social life prove that Confucianism gradually achieved a dominant position in people's social life. combined haighly respected position in the political field in the period of Emperor Yuan, Confucianism in the period of Emperor Yuan hold a dominant position not only in the social sphere but aslo in the social life , in other words,Confucian finally access the truly "overwhelming" status.PartⅣ: Summary. The papers conducted macro analysis on the basis of the micro study, pointing out that from the value orientation of the names, although "oust 100, the overwhelming Confucianism" was established atThe period of Emperor Wu, until the period of Yuandi Confucianism access to The overwhelming and essential status in the political as well as social life areasThe innovation points of this paper, mainly using the method of microscopic and macroscopic unifies to study the personal names of Western Han Dynasty and the thought cultural context, and concludes that the personal names have the close relationship with the political context and the social ideological trend then, that Confucianism status truely established in the period of Emperor Yuan, which has had the profound influence to the politics, the economy, the culture and social life and many other aspects of China more than 2000 year feudal society, and that until now in ours daily life more or less there still is the trace affected by Confucianism.
