商周时期,至上天神被称为"帝"或"天",虽名称存在差异,但其缔造思维相通。至上天神拥有多重神性,从令雨、令雷、令风等神权,可知至上神有着极强的农业神性。郊祀作为对至上天神的祭祀制度,其核心理念是强烈的农业诉求。

In Shang Dynasty,the Supreme Heaven Immortal was called"God"or"Heaven".In spite of the different names,concept of the Immortal was created for similar reasons.The Immortal is entitled with capability to regulate rains,thunders and winds,which suggested strong power of agricultural management.The suburb prayer rites,as an institution for worshiping the Supreme Heaven Immortal,is characterized in strong appellation for agricultural harvest.
