澎湖200年元宵民俗 乞龜文化創意無限
（中央社記者高茂雄澎湖縣28日電）「乞龜」是澎湖已流傳200多年的元宵民俗，歷久不衰，不僅與時俱進並推陳出新。從以往的肪片龜演變至黃金龜和大米龜，今年更推出麵線龜，可說創意不斷。
「乞龜」又稱「乞平安龜」，意即乞求神明賜龜，是澎湖地區流傳已久的元宵特有習俗。早年所乞的龜為糯米粉加上麥芽糖、糖為材料作成烏龜形狀、可以食用的「肪片龜」。「乞龜」時，民眾前往地方宮廟，選定中意的「肪片龜」，再擲筊請示神明獲准，就可捧回家，但隔年元宵節必須以更大的「肪片龜」還給廟方。
最早肪片龜以1台斤為主，大者2、3台斤，後來各家宮廟「肪片龜」展開比大的局面，份量愈作愈大，1947年，東衛天后宮推出5台斤肪片龜，1951年另1家宮廟又出現100台斤的肪片龜，其後以百斤為單位，各家宮廟競相比大，屢創記錄。
1988年，馬公山水上帝廟推出1萬2800台斤的超級大龜，造成轟動，數10年來不斷比大的肪片龜熱潮在這1年達至頂點。由於「肪片龜」甜度很高，如何分食成為問題，這隻超級大龜引發後續處理的難題，從此肪片龜不再競大，代之而起的是黃金龜的另1波風潮。
1989年山水上帝廟推出36兩黃金龜後，重量年年加大，鎖港北極殿也跟著推出，形成2家宮廟不斷較勁的局面，重量逐步增加到2008年的230兩，由鎖港贏得黃金龜王的榮銜，但之後重量就沒再增加。
去年乞得鎖港230兩黃金龜王的得主是旅居高雄的澎湖商人謝仲箎，今年新的得主將在今晚以擲筊方式產生。
首開米龜風氣之先的是開台澎湖天后宮，1989年推出1隻1萬2000台斤的大米龜，但集大成而發揚光大的則是南甲海靈殿。海靈殿去年由劉長寶、吳澄門、陳兆慶3位老師傅，在廟埕堆疊1隻重達36萬台斤超級大米龜。
大米龜長62台尺、寬38台尺、高9台尺，共使用3萬1200包中興米，堆疊成烏龜形狀。
今年元宵則推陳出新，推出麵線龜。由於今年承辦元宵節「萬龜祈福」民俗活動的是馬公市西衛里的宸威殿，而西衛里素來以手工麵線聞名，廟方在廟埕以1萬3000多包麵線堆疊成1隻大麵線龜，重達1萬6800台斤，吸引眾多人潮參觀。
宸威殿主任委員吳文相表示，待整個活動結束後，所有麵線將發放給來參觀的民眾帶回家「呷平安」。
澎湖元宵乞龜文化流傳200多年，其中有變也有不變，不變的是乞龜求神明保佑的精神，變的則是其內容，從肪片龜、黃金龜到大米龜，再到麵線龜，可說創意不斷。990228
