两汉时期西域人汉式姓名探微

A Study on the Han-Style Names in the Western Regions during the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties

本文探讨了两汉时期西域人采用汉式姓名的问题。认为王莽于西汉元始二年(2年)操作实施的“去二名”改制措施,是导致以后西域人改用汉式名字的直接原因;论证和复原了西汉曾经在西域实施过“去二名”措施以及东汉继续在西域推行汉式名字的史实;讨论了有关西域人采用汉式名字或姓名的模式问题;探讨了来源于汉地的姓氏观念在西域的植入和生根的轨迹。

The paper studies the Han-style names adopted by people in the Western Regions in the Western and Eastern Han dynasties and holds that the measure of 'giving up two-character name' put in practice by Wang Mang in the second year of the reign of Yuanshi in the Western Han Dynasty is the immediate cause of the adoption of Han-style name by the people in the Western Regions from then on.The author studies the implementation of this measure in the Western Regions by the Western Han and the generalization of Han-style name by the Eastern Han,discusses the adoption method of Han-style name in the Western Regions and explores the spreading and rooting of the family name concept of inland China in the Western Regions.
