萬龜祈福破天荒 戊子接承丁亥光

  (記者許玉娟專題報導)俗稱小過年的元宵節即將到來!今年縣府特別配合金鼠年,規劃「來去澎湖,平安乞福」一系列有濃濃地方特色的民俗活動,將由明日下午6點在馬公市區舉辦的「祈安遶境鬥陣行」踩街活動拉開序幕;當然,更是不能錯過一年一度的澎湖萬龜祈福大典,西嶼外垵村溫王宮21日邀大家一起來擲筊鬧元宵!

  每逢新春元宵,澎湖境內各大、小宮廟都會恭請神明遶境踩街祈求合境平安,五花八門的各式神轎、加上力與美结合的陣頭表演,讓元宵節的乞龜文化展現澎湖縣民十足的生命力。這項傳承百年的特有風俗,其豐富的精神層次與文化內涵堪稱目前兩岸規模最大、最隆重的龜祭,並足以「西乞龜」之名和「北天燈、南蜂炮、東寒單」並列為全台元宵節四大主題活動!

  熱鬧滾滾的澎湖縣元宵夜明晚6點將正式引爆!今年擴大舉辦的「祈安遶境逗陣行」踩街活動,參與遶境踩街的宮廟約有20組團隊,各宮廟都準備了精采的轎花車、陣頭,特別是出了名的電子武轎,都會在活動中使出渾身解數互相「鬥」陣,主辦單位在踩街路線中,規劃了東西南北四個演出點,以龍門、七美、西嶼、吉貝來代表澎湖的四個方位,並象徵著以遶境遊行祈求澎湖縣合境平安。

  在當天一直到23日,縣府同時在衛生局前準備了「迎春接福許願卡」,免費提供給遊客及民眾,讓民眾可寫下新年新願望;並由縣長王乾發及議長劉陳昭玲於明晚共同點亮「招財進寶菊鼠來」主燈,主辦單位更邀請在地舞蹈社演出具有澎湖島嶼風味的「海螺祈福」舞之頌為點燈揭開序幕!

  隨後,各廟宇陣頭將從縣府廣場集結出發,沿治平路、途經光復路、中正路,終點站在石滬廣場,全程近4公里的遶境踩街活動將在石滬廣場進入活動最高潮,喧天熱鬧的「祈安之夜」晚會請來知名主持人馬妞炒熱氣氛,現場並結合五光十色的煙火秀,絕對讓你HIGH翻天!

  明晚活動流程為:晚上6點於縣府廣場進行鼠年主燈點燈儀式、6點|8點舉行祈安遶境鬥陣行神轎、陣頭踩街(縣府廣場↓石滬廣場)、8點|9點30分,祈安之夜精彩節目煙火秀(石滬廣場),想感受澎湖小過年的朋友,快跟三五好友帶著一家大小、阿公阿嬤逗陣來熱鬧!

  賞燈賞景盡在澎湖外垵,一起來過個不一樣的元宵節!

  從「新正玩三天,上元玩三暝」這句澎湖俗諺,不難想像澎湖元宵節慶熱鬧程度更勝新春正月一籌,除應景花燈外,開發甚早的澎湖,還保留許多元宵節傳統民俗,包括「七星平安橋」、「鑽燈腳」、「賞花燈」、「乞平安龜」…等等,其中又以具有百年歷史的「乞平安龜」習俗最具特色,全縣民眾自元宵節起一連三天爭相奔走於各廟宇「乞龜」,以祈求來年好運氣。

  而澎湖元宵節重頭戲當然非「萬龜祈福活動」莫屬,今年輪由西嶼鄉外垵村溫王宮主辦,將自本月21日(四)起至23日(六)一連三天,溫王宮均備有舫片龜、蛋糕龜、黑糖糕龜、麵包龜、棗泥龜、餅乾龜等各色食材的平安龜供民眾求乞,讓民眾及遊客祈褔「呷平安」;澎湖俗諺「摸龜頭,起大樓;摸龜尾,存家伙;摸龜殼,事業工作穩達達;摸龜腳,金銀財寶歸厝腳」,而去年吸引大批人潮爭相撫摸由玄武岩雕刻而成的神龍龜,今年也不缺席,想要摸靈龜行大運的朋友更不能錯過!

  四面環海的澎湖自古以漁立縣,早年民生物質條件不佳,海龜成為島民動物性蛋白質的來源之一,諸多客觀條件下自然孕育出「龜祭」的傳統習俗,每逢元宵時節,境內各廟宇都會準備由各種食材製成的「平安龜」供民眾乞求,讓乞得者可以「呷平安」也乞得來年好運氣。近年來除了乞求由食材製成的「平安龜」外,也衍生出各種乞龜的新花招,像是「乞車」、「乞金龜」、「乞遊艇」等,近年來吸引不少外地遊客前往澎湖「試運氣」,讓乞龜文化得以走出澎湖。

  所謂「乞龜」,其實就是民眾與神明之間的一種博奕行為,有點類似現今的「無息貸款」,這種「今年乞,明年還」的遊戲規則,並無規定乞得平安龜者需如數或加倍還願,完全由乞得者「許心願」,斟酌個人能力來還願,除突顯鄉親質樸的民族性外,人與神之間的誠信約定,更是一項相當具有人情味的習俗。

  此外,由溫王宮特別搭設的巨型萬眾祈福平安橋,橋上將安置神明王座,民眾自神明座下穿過,將獲贈廟方精心製作的「祈福袋」、「許願卡」及「集福卡」各乙張;將來年心願寫於許願卡上,掛於巨型氣球上,並於元宵第三日舉行施放氣球升空祈福儀式;廟方在外垵村街上將設置財、子、福、祿、壽、喜、滿七處神龜集福點,各定點均提供集福紀念印章,民眾可執手中集福卡至各點蓋取來年福運。 

  其實,元宵節當天,建議早到的遊客中午就可先到西嶼鄉外垵村到處走走逛逛,村內有頗負盛名的海鮮餐廳提供活跳海鮮,絕對讓饕客讚不絕口!而馬公市最西邊的溫王宮廟宇建築細緻華麗,而傍晚的祈福大典,鄉長將帶領信眾及遊客跨過全台最長的平安橋來消災解厄,晚上在縣長王乾發主持溫王宮點燈儀式後,更可以一併欣賞外垵港口美麗的萬家漁火,最後再把向神明乞求來的平安龜帶回家!

  另外,車船處為便利民眾前往外垵溫王廟觀賞萬龜乞福活動,活動期間馬公至外垵自下午5點10起間隔20分鐘發車1班次至晚間8時30分止,外垵至馬公則自晚間7時起間隔20 -30分鐘發車1班次至11時止,並視搭乘公車前往民眾人數多寡,酌予增減班次,歡迎民眾多加利用。

  此次,縣府為了歡迎元宵假期到澎湖的旅客,以及久違的離鄉遊子,特別準備了一萬隻福龜等著民眾來祈平安!還貼心的準備了象徵「福貴年年」的福龜中國結送給元宵節當天到澎湖的遊客,只要一入境,就有機會在馬公機場取得象徵「福貴年年」的400隻限量版「福龜中國結」紀念品!春節還沒玩夠的朋友,不妨來一趟澎湖行,體驗這項相當具有特色且保留傳統的龜祭民俗活動!
