07鬧元宵／離島元宵超趣味 澎湖乞龜把遊艇帶回家
2007/03/03 14:23
記者陳志東／台北報導
除了北天燈、南蜂炮、東寒單，還有台灣燈會、台北燈會……等等各地燈會外，台灣離島的元宵也超熱鬧。特別是馬祖的「擺暝」與澎湖的「乞龜」，都是非常具有地方特色的元宵節慶。今年馬祖針對元宵節推出「擺暝嘉年華」，澎湖則推出「乞龜」，獎品還有遊艇跟轎車。如果元宵不想待本島，離島也不錯。
澎湖乞龜
所謂的「乞龜」，指的就是在廟會慶典時前往祈願，透過擲筊杯得到神明同意後，就能把糯米龜帶回家或現場大家分著食用，象徵著事業的順利與生活平安，而這一年有乞到龜的人，來年賺了錢，就要作一隻更大隻的龜提供給廟方還願，讓別人接著乞。
澎湖乞龜至少已有150年歷史，而且非常大手筆。一般廟裡的「乞龜」頂多乞個糯米龜，大家求個平安順利，意思意思也就行了。但在澎湖的元宵乞龜，乞的是金龜，這金龜重量往往達到2、3百兩，大約就是將近10公斤，別說造價4、5百萬很嚇人，就連想抱回家都很吃力。還好，通常乞到黃金龜的，都還同時可以獲得不用還願的遊艇或轎車等獎品，可以開著把金龜載回家。
整個澎湖，元宵時節幾乎各大小廟宇都會辦理乞龜活動，其中最著名的就是山水上帝廟，還有鎖港北極殿、風櫃溫王殿、赤崁龍德宮等等。山水上帝廟工作人員表示，「乞龜」的方法，就是大家比賽擲筊杯，通常有意要乞的人，從1、2月間就會開始登記或現場報名，等到金龜打造出來後，廟方會視金龜大小訂出基本的「香油錢」，或者300元、或者500元，然後就可於元宵節當天晚上6點多開始比賽擲筊杯。
筊杯要一直連續「聖杯」，也就是一正一反，萬一沒有聖杯就必須中止，看最後誰的連續聖杯最多就可以把金龜帶回家。歷年來最高紀錄的是連續擲出12個聖杯，而這一位幸運兒，據說當年在神明保祐下祈回金龜，之後果然事業一帆風順，太太也順利生下小寶寶，事業家庭兩得意，現在已經移民加拿大過好日子。
今年澎湖縣政府也針對乞龜活動辦理「2007年元宵節萬龜祈福護蔭蒼生」活動，從3月2日到7日間舉行，屆時澎湖縣內20多座廟宇也都將推出陣頭表演，縣政府也在府前廣場到民生路口擺設一萬隻黑糖糕、餅乾、棗泥、麵包等不同材質和內餡的平安龜，要讓萬龜祈福開放所有人一起來乞。
澎湖縣政府也將在3月3日、4日推出元宵夜未眠觀光導覽專車，帶領遊客參加中央古街燈謎會、風櫃求遊艇、山水乞金龜、鎖港拼轎車，並參觀赤崁龍德宮、二崁古厝等澎湖乞龜活動。元宵節想拼輛轎車或遊艇帶回家嗎？到澎湖就對了！相關資訊可逕洽澎湖縣政府網站：http://www.penghu.gov.tw/
馬祖擺暝
所謂「擺暝」，就是馬祖福州話中的「整夜祭神」。當年先民從福建來到馬祖，每年過年期間因為冬季海象險惡，如果有漁民無法回鄉，便會留在馬祖，除了「擺暝」整夜祭神外，還會點風燈隔著大海向家鄉親友報平安，因而早年馬祖各島都有「上彩暝掛風燈」的習俗。
馬祖的元宵擺暝通常要比過年初一還熱鬧，除了當地人會將馬祖眾神明如媽祖、白馬尊王、五靈公、蕭王爺、鐵甲元帥、臨水夫人等等聚集在一起祭拜外，之後還會繞境巡行，村民也會持著火把或燈籠在街上遊逛，整個晚上進香、祈福、遊行、繞境、放鞭炮.....，整晚都熱鬧。而一般台灣會見到的八家將等等陣頭，到了馬祖則變成「跳馬奴」、「跳孩仔」、財神爺「搶包」等等，是一種與閩南文化決然不同的閩北福州文化。
為了行銷馬祖觀光，今年連江縣政府也推出「馬祖擺暝嘉年華」，活動從3月1日到15日止，相關旅遊資訊，可逕洽連江縣政府網址：www.matsu.gov.tw
