This study investigates the relationship between China ’ s energy consumption and economic grow th from 1953 to 2013 with two methods ,the bivariate linear and nonlinear Granger causality tests , and the linear and non_linear Granger causality tests based on the extension of neo_classical production func -tion .It is found that the different methods support four different hypotheses and causalities .Based on the relevant nonlinear studies and the recommendations of some foreign scholars ,this article argues that there is a unidirectional nonlinear Granger causality between the energy consumption and economic growth in Chi -na .The finding indicates that ,to extend the energy’s contribution in economic growth ,China should in-crease the energy exploration stocks ,promote the access to foreign energy sources and improve the energy efficiency .%利用双变量的线性与非线性Granger因果关系检验，以及基于扩展的新古典生产函数的线性与非线性Granger因果关系检验方法，对我国1953至2013年的能源消耗与经济增长之间的关系进行研究。结果发现，不同的方法分别支持四种不同的假说和因果关系，根据非线性研究和相关文献，我们认为我国存在从能源消耗到经济增长的单向非线性Granger因果关系。因此，需要通过增加可勘、可采能源存量，增加海外能源获取渠道和提高能源的利用效率，以保证能源对我国经济增长的推动作用。
