The invention discloses a content acquisition method, a content acquisition node and a content network, which belong to the field of communication. The method comprises the following steps of: receiving a content request, wherein the content request at least comprises an identifier of requested contents; judging whether the contents corresponding to the identifier can be locally acquired or not, and if the contents corresponding to the identifier can be locally acquired, locally acquiring the contents corresponding to the identifier; otherwise, querying a name resolution system according to the identifier to obtain a target node corresponding to the identifier, and acquiring the contents corresponding to the identifier from the target node, wherein the name resolution system comprises a hierarchical distributed hash table and a global content resolution structure; and the global content resolution structure supports name aggregation and longest match searching. The node comprises a content agent module and a content acquisition module. The content network comprises the content acquisition node and a transmission network. In the content acquisition method, the content acquisition node and the content network, a content-oriented network architecture is constructed by adopting a distributed scheme, the content delivery efficiency and the safety of the network are improved by introducing an optimization strategy, network investment is reduced, and the network is more adaptive to the rapid increasing of the contents.
