通樑古榕 香花樹數百年歷史 神話流傳

　　（記者宋國正報導）白沙旅遊勝地通樑村，廟前古榕已屆三百多年而七美人塜上已屆四百多年歷史的香花樹，不僅被人化，當作人一般尊敬，甚至被神話，當成神明一般膜拜，不僅如此，還流傳著各種不同的傳說。

　　本縣目前被列入保護的百年珍貴老樹不少，多數均有著讓當地人津津樂道的神話故事，代代流傳著，其中以「通梁古榕」及七美塚「香花樹」更具神奇色彩，且受人膜拜。

　　白沙鄉通村保安宮前大榕樹，考其由來，有兩種說法，有謂係三百多年前，由貿易商船載來之盆植而移栽長成者，或謂漂來自海上，為村民鄭興所拾而由林瑤琴所栽種。依澎湖誌載：此樹原在神廟前東偏，初僅一株，既而氣根下垂及地，逐形成兩株，以枝根互生漸繁，枝椏岐出，經過悠久歲月，乃蔚成今日，日據時期日人將其列入日本十大奇木之一。目前兩列垂根九十一，蔭蔽地面大半畝，其上枝葉茂密，薈麗平舖，望之儼若華蓋。由於古榕位於通村民宗教中心保安宮前，一到觀光盛季，不僅吸引來自各地送客觀賞外，亦被當成神明般焚香膜拜。

　　七美人塚位於七美鄉南港村，建於明代洪武二十年，洪武年間，倭寇（日本浪人）橫行海上，襲擊大嶼，燒殺掠奪，凌辱婦女，島上有七女子因不願受辱，投井而死，以全貞節，居民乃掩井葬，後於井上生長常青樹七株日本人稱（一葉秋）學名（葉底珠）至今四百多年，依然葉翠枝嫩，春夏之交盛開白花，清香四溢，當地人稱為「香花樹」。

　　後人感念七女之貞烈，立「七美人塚」石碑，並建圍牆，以為紀念。民國三十九年，何志浩將軍前往憑弔，吟歌以頌貞烈，歌日：七美人兮白璧姿，抱負拒賊兮死隨之；英魂永寄孤芳樹碑，「七美人歌」。七美原名大嶼，民國三十八年，為永傳七女子之貞烈事蹟於後世，大嶼乃易名為七美。

　　坊間對百年老樹有著高度的崇敬心理，澎湖縣政府近年來對百年老樹則採取保護措施，並有各種作為，讓民眾對百年老樹有更多的認識。
