摘　　要：甲骨文中的"灾"字常用来表达祸患之意。殷商时期的甲骨文中,"灾"字的字形不断变化,表达的含义也不尽相同,或表示河水泛滥,或表示河流壅塞,或表示战祸,或表示自然界发生的天火,或表示凶猛野兽的威胁。研究"灾"字形的变化有助于认识殷商时期灾害发生的基本情况。In oracle bone inscriptions,the Chinese character ＂灾＂was often used to express the meaning of disasters. In the Shang Dynasty,the shape of the character changed continually,so did its meaning. It was used to refer to flooding,river blockage,wars,naturally occurring fire or the threat of savage beasts. The shape change of the character helps to understand the basic situation of disasters in the Shang Dynasty.
