澎湖200年元宵民俗 乞龜文化創意無限

  (中央社記者高茂雄澎湖縣28日電)「乞龜」是澎湖已流傳200多年的元宵民俗,歷久不衰,不僅與時俱進並推陳出新。從以往的肪片龜演變至黃金龜和大米龜,今年更推出麵線龜,可說創意不斷。

  「乞龜」又稱「乞平安龜」,意即乞求神明賜龜,是澎湖地區流傳已久的元宵特有習俗。早年所乞的龜為糯米粉加上麥芽糖、糖為材料作成烏龜形狀、可以食用的「肪片龜」。「乞龜」時,民眾前往地方宮廟,選定中意的「肪片龜」,再擲筊請示神明獲准,就可捧回家,但隔年元宵節必須以更大的「肪片龜」還給廟方。

  最早肪片龜以1台斤為主,大者2、3台斤,後來各家宮廟「肪片龜」展開比大的局面,份量愈作愈大,1947年,東衛天后宮推出5台斤肪片龜,1951年另1家宮廟又出現100台斤的肪片龜,其後以百斤為單位,各家宮廟競相比大,屢創記錄。

  1988年,馬公山水上帝廟推出1萬2800台斤的超級大龜,造成轟動,數10年來不斷比大的肪片龜熱潮在這1年達至頂點。由於「肪片龜」甜度很高,如何分食成為問題,這隻超級大龜引發後續處理的難題,從此肪片龜不再競大,代之而起的是黃金龜的另1波風潮。

  1989年山水上帝廟推出36兩黃金龜後,重量年年加大,鎖港北極殿也跟著推出,形成2家宮廟不斷較勁的局面,重量逐步增加到2008年的230兩,由鎖港贏得黃金龜王的榮銜,但之後重量就沒再增加。

  去年乞得鎖港230兩黃金龜王的得主是旅居高雄的澎湖商人謝仲箎,今年新的得主將在今晚以擲筊方式產生。

  首開米龜風氣之先的是開台澎湖天后宮,1989年推出1隻1萬2000台斤的大米龜,但集大成而發揚光大的則是南甲海靈殿。海靈殿去年由劉長寶、吳澄門、陳兆慶3位老師傅,在廟埕堆疊1隻重達36萬台斤超級大米龜。

  大米龜長62台尺、寬38台尺、高9台尺,共使用3萬1200包中興米,堆疊成烏龜形狀。

  今年元宵則推陳出新,推出麵線龜。由於今年承辦元宵節「萬龜祈福」民俗活動的是馬公市西衛里的宸威殿,而西衛里素來以手工麵線聞名,廟方在廟埕以1萬3000多包麵線堆疊成1隻大麵線龜,重達1萬6800台斤,吸引眾多人潮參觀。

  宸威殿主任委員吳文相表示,待整個活動結束後,所有麵線將發放給來參觀的民眾帶回家「呷平安」。

  澎湖元宵乞龜文化流傳200多年,其中有變也有不變,不變的是乞龜求神明保佑的精神,變的則是其內容,從肪片龜、黃金龜到大米龜,再到麵線龜,可說創意不斷。990228
