摘　　要：在殷商、西周、春秋三个时期,卜筮对于中国早期至上神信仰的作用历经了从催生到消泯的变化:殷商时期,卜筮与至上神"帝"信仰有着表里与共的内在关系,卜筮催生宗教;西周以后,周人不再把"帝"而是把祖考作为信仰对象,卜筮沦为了政治的工具,与"帝"信仰发生了断裂;春秋时期,卜筮又成了人本精神所利用的舞台,周人借助对卜筮形式的肯定和卜筮结果的否定来彰显人的主体性,消泯"帝"信仰。卜筮在历史中两种截然相反的作用,对早期中国宗教的发生与夭折形成深刻的影响。The idealness of the One inquired in divination gave birth to the belief in Supreme Being and the awareness of religion. After the replacement for Yin Dynasty, the object of ordinary people＇s belief has become the ancestors of high moral principles instead of Supreme Being in Chou Dynasty. Divination without the belief in Supreme Being has become a political tool of Chou Authority in the early period and provided an opportunity for the victory of humanism in Spring and Autumn Period. From giving birth to religious awareness to speeding up the dying young of Chinese religion, divination has played two roles which are polar opposites.
