2009全台鬧元宵 澎湖乞龜 馬祖擺暝超趣味
更新日期:2009/02/02 14:40 記者陳志東／專題報導˙攝影
元宵期間除了台灣燈會，還有北天燈、南蜂炮、東寒單外，台灣離島的元宵也超趣味。特別是澎湖的「乞龜」與馬祖的「擺暝」，都是非常具地方特色的元宵節慶。幸運的話，到澎湖乞龜，說不定還能把市價高達近千萬的百兩黃金或遊艇、轎車帶回家。
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，別說造價近千萬很嚇人，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，從春節前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。
今年除了可以前往山水上帝廟或鎖港北極殿乞金龜外，另外澎湖縣政府也邀請馬公南甲海靈殿斥資八百多萬元打造重達36萬台斤的大米龜，試圖締造世界新紀錄，也打算打乞到龜的人給壓死、撐死。如果今年想看看台灣本島以外的元宵慶典，澎湖會很有趣。澎湖乞龜相關資訊可逕洽沿著菊島旅行網址：https://www.phsea.com.tw/travel/index.php/Main_Page
