摘　　要：在春秋时期 ,龟卜作为传达神灵意志的媒介被淡化了 ,而在贵族阶级的政治传播、人际交往中却频频发挥作用。在许多时候 ,它实际上是一种服务于人事的政治装饰品 ,与传统“礼”法相通。贵族阶级在信息传通中把它借用来作为文饰的幌子 ,以增强传播的效果。卜官地位的衰落以及对自身职业的否定 。Divination by the tortoise shell in the Spring & Autumn Period,while playing an important role in the political and person to person communications in the nobility,gradually lost its power as a medium for the transmission of super natural will. Tortoise shell divination were widely used in political activities at that time: sacrifice,war,wedding and birth of the noble class,disease,selecting the would be king,selecting officials,the capital movement,buildings,etc. In many cases,the divination, connected closely with traditional rituals,served essentially as a political ornament for human activities. The noble class used it not only to fool the common people in the political communication but also to cheat themselves in the person to person communication. In the process of information communication,the noble class took it as an ornamental mask to strengthen the communicative effect. The declining of the social status of diviners and their negative attitudes towards their own profession reflected common people's growing awareness of the fraud hidden in the divination. Meanwhile, the role of political and person to person communications by tortoise shell divination became less and less effective. Once prominent,the culture of such divination died out as rationalism developed.
