澎湖地名之旅Part65 立竿網林立 竹灣村
西嶼鄉竹灣村，自古至今都是一個大村落，因為村落港灣內盛產魚類，先民謀生不難，自明朝永曆年間，鄭成功經營台灣初期，竹灣村已有許多先民居住，以捕魚為業了
原名「竹篙灣」，但不生產竹子，明、清時代也不曾生長竹林。「竹篙」是閩南話，指竹竿，「竹篙灣」是指港灣裡插著許多竹竿。
澎湖先民最先使用的捕魚漁具就是「立竿網」：即在乾潮時，將漁往定置在沿海海底，滿潮時才使用竹竿把漁網撐起來，高於水面，由於古代沿海魚類很多，用這個方法捕魚，作業簡單，無風險，因此先民大多以「立竿網」捕魚為業。
在古代，由於竹灣村港灣每天定置林林總總的「立竿網」，「竹篙」（竿）林立而得名。「立竿網」是學名，俗名叫做「截網」，現在人們仍叫「截網」。
清朝時代稱為「竹篙灣社」，日據時期叫做「竹篙灣鄉（村）」，光復後實施地方自治，才叫西嶼鄉竹灣村。
最早的移民姓蔡，屬「青陽衍派」，是隨著鄭成功而來的移民，後來有一半以上遷居台灣本島；最晚的移民姓吳，於清朝嘉慶年間來自泉州府南城門外磁灶庄。
村落神廟大義宮建於清朝同治元年（1862），供祀文衡聖帝（關公），民國六十二年改建，由於廟貌堂皇壯觀，是澎湖的觀光廟之一。
竹灣村的特點是婦女們勤快，每年於冬季就開始種植花生，次年農曆四月即可採收，因為早種花生值錢，不少居民以早種花生作副業。
