Abstract: The thought of "Name & Object" by Gongsun Long, one of the famous representative of the pre-Qin period, not only
contains the sprout of the philosophy of language, but also has reached a high level of philosophy in some areas, among which there are
some profound insight and understanding. Gongsun Long called "Name" as "Object". "Object" has two meanings: one is a pure
"thing"without reference to a name or a symbol, and the other is a "thing" that is referred to by "name" or symbol. The reason that he
corrected the relationship between name and object was the painful feeling of the chaotic relationship between name and reality at the
time. In short, his method of rectifying name and truth is "verifying the name and truth" and "following the name and complimenting
it". Gongsun Long did not specifically and consciously conduct discussions on "names" and did not have a clear and accurate
discussion, that is, those names or words that he frequently uses are not explored, that is, what category they should belong to, that is,
he only explored "species and genus of thing", but did not specifically discuss "categories".

Key words: Gongsun Long, thought of name and object, debate
