青龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)原名青龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)祠,又名龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)廟,始(shi)建于明(ming)永(yong)樂(le)年間,位于武陟縣城(cheng)西北1公(gong)里龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)源(yuan)鎮(zhen)萬花莊中部。清(qing)嘉慶十八年(1813年)奉旨重修,改建為青龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)。占地50余(yu)畝,古建房(fang)屋百(bai)余(yu)間,主要(yao)建筑有龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)鳳亭、主門(men)廈古戲樓、東西門(men)、拜殿、東西官廳、玉皇閣(ge)、東西廂、誠心橋、后寢(qin)宮(gong)、龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)圣(sheng)宮(gong)、后大殿等。主要(yao)神(shen)像(xiang)有玉皇大帝、王(wang)(wang)母(mu)娘(niang)娘(niang)、青龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)、龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)母(mu)、東海(hai)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)、西海(hai)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)、南海(hai)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)、北海(hai)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)、風伯(bo)、雨(yu)師、雷公(gong)、電母(mu)、雪花公(gong)主、推云童子、關(guan)公(gong)、木鯨神(shen)等。
青龍(long)宮歷經(jing)幾(ji)百年(nian)滄桑,經(jing)道(dao)光(guang)、光(guang)緒年(nian)間(jian)幾(ji)次(ci)增修,成為具有(you)相當規模的(de)明(ming)清建筑群。它大的(de)特(te)點是:房上(shang)、墻上(shang)、梁上(shang)、柱上(shang)、門(men)上(shang)、窗上(shang)到(dao)處是千(qian)姿百態龍(long)的(de)形(xing)象。宮內(nei)古柏常青,鮮花盛開,小(xiao)橋流水,五色(se)(se)金魚在(zai)養生(sheng)池內(nei)悠(you)游自(zi)在(zai)歡快(kuai)跳躍,環境幽雅,景色(se)(se)宜人。青龍(long)王龍(long)母在(zai)人間(jian)所(suo)(suo)做的(de)善事(shi)和(he)歸神界惠普中(zhong)州沐(mu)甘露所(suo)(suo)辦的(de)奇事(shi)傳說(shuo)比(bi)比(bi)皆是,歷史(shi)真(zhen)實(shi)記(ji)載的(de)龍(long)文化會使你認(ren)為青龍(long)王真(zhen)是“活龍(long)王”。
焦作(zuo)市旅(lv)游勝地青(qing)龍(long)(long)峽與青(qing)龍(long)(long)宮(gong)本為一(yi)家,有著一(yi)脈相(xiang)通(tong)的(de)(de)聯系。據廟內(nei)明(ming)朝(chao)嘉靖六年(nian)(nian)(1527年(nian)(nian))石碣“高氏家傳(chuan)遺言記”記載:青(qing)龍(long)(long)峽為明(ming)永樂(le)年(nian)(nian)間萬花(hua)莊(zhuang)高白寧(ning)陪(pei)給(gei)龍(long)(long)母的(de)(de)嫁(jia)妝地,“陪(pei)嫁(jia)莊(zhuang)”村由此而得(de)名(ming)。青(qing)龍(long)(long)峽中(zhong)的(de)(de)青(qing)龍(long)(long)洞是青(qing)龍(long)(long)王龍(long)(long)母夫婦(fu)歸天常居之處(chu)。因此,想游青(qing)龍(long)(long)峽先觀青(qing)龍(long)(long)宮(gong),這樣我(wo)們既看到了(le)龍(long)(long)文化的(de)(de)內(nei)涵,又感受到了(le)大自然的(de)(de)美景。
武陟(zhi)(zhi)青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)始源于一(yi)(yi)個神(shen)(shen)(shen)話傳說,清道(dao)光(guang)(guang)版的《武陟(zhi)(zhi)縣志》卷十(shi)(shi)九《古跡(ji)》篇記(ji)載:“青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)王廟(青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong))在縣治東北(bei)路(lu)萬花莊。舊(jiu)傳青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)神(shen)(shen)(shen)于明永樂時,假身為貧(pin)少年(nian)(nian),傭力于本莊高(gao)(gao)氏(shi)(shi)家,白晝刻(ke)木為‘鯨’,夜則(ze)灌園田,稼(jia)茂(mao)異(yi)常(chang),高(gao)(gao)氏(shi)(shi)瞰其(qi)(qi)蹤(zong)跡(ji),見云霧中(zhong)有(you)一(yi)(yi)龍(long)(long)(long)在井上(shang),尤(you)是(shi)大奇(qi),妻之(zhi)以(yi)女,其(qi)(qi)后(hou)(hou)(hou),忽見夢于高(gao)(gao)氏(shi)(shi)曰:‘吾以(yi)有(you)異(yi)汝(ru),若逢(feng)旱時,赴青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)洞求雨(yu)必應(ying)’。尺醒則(ze)神(shen)(shen)(shen)已化去,其(qi)(qi)妻亦(yi)逝。所(suo)遺即(ji)牒文(wen)木鯨也(ye),自是(shi)有(you)禱(dao)必應(ying),建(jian)(jian)祠記(ji)之(zhi)”。又(you)有(you)碑(bei)(bei)文(wen)記(ji)載:“龍(long)(long)(long)王顯世于明初永樂年(nian)(nian)間。每逢(feng)亢旱祈雨(yu)輒(zhe)應(ying),以(yi)是(shi)創(chuang)建(jian)(jian)廟宇”。增建(jian)(jian)青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)之(zhi)神(shen)(shen)(shen)記(ji)碑(bei)(bei)文(wen)載:“青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)為嘉(jia)(jia)慶朝(chao)前政莊君鼎建(jian)(jian)”。道(dao)光(guang)(guang)二(er)十(shi)(shi)五年(nian)(nian)(1845年(nian)(nian))碑(bei)(bei)文(wen)載:“嘉(jia)(jia)慶年(nian)(nian)間邑(yi)侯聞其(qi)(qi)異(yi),因匾(bian)(bian)所(suo)舉曰‘青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)’”。玉(yu)皇(huang)閣上(shang)層中(zhong)間脊(ji)檁下知縣孫(sun)肅(su)元手書:“大清嘉(jia)(jia)慶十(shi)(shi)八年(nian)(nian)歲癸酉四月上(shang)浣吉(ji)知武陟(zhi)(zhi)事仁(ren)和孫(sun)肅(su)元率(lv)(lv)同闔紳耆士民創(chuang)建(jian)(jian),自立之(zhi)后(hou)(hou)(hou)永保風(feng)調雨(yu)順,平安(an)大吉(ji)”。玉(yu)皇(huang)閣底層檐下又(you)懸(xuan)“圣旨(zhi)”牌(pai)。所(suo)以(yi)說青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)的主體建(jian)(jian)筑玉(yu)皇(huang)閣、戲樓(lou)、主門廈(sha)為清嘉(jia)(jia)慶十(shi)(shi)八年(nian)(nian)(1813年(nian)(nian))由(you)觀察使莊振請旨(zhi),帶官(guan)銀支助(zhu),在原青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)祠的舊(jiu)址上(shang)重(zhong)建(jian)(jian)的。命知縣孫(sun)肅(su)元親自率(lv)(lv)領族工,并親手書青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)祠更名(ming)青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)。據(ju)青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)新(xin)修后(hou)(hou)(hou)殿記(ji)碑(bei)(bei)文(wen)載:“光(guang)(guang)緒三年(nian)(nian)大旱,大府(fu)遺員……奏(zou)請御賜匾(bian)(bian)額,由(you)是(shi)青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)之(zhi)名(ming)益顯”。光(guang)(guang)緒皇(huang)帝(di)御筆之(zhi)寶“惠普中(zhong)州”一(yi)(yi)式(shi)兩(liang)面(mian),一(yi)(yi)面(mian)懸(xuan)掛青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong),另一(yi)(yi)面(mian)懸(xuan)掛于太行(xing)山青(qing)(qing)(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)峽的龍(long)(long)(long)神(shen)(shen)(shen)祠。慈禧太后(hou)(hou)(hou)御筆“靈濟東都”匾(bian)(bian)一(yi)(yi)面(mian)(現已遺失)。

青(qing)龍(long)(long)宮二月二廟會(hui)歷史悠久。青(qing)龍(long)(long)宮原名青(qing)龍(long)(long)祠,又名龍(long)(long)王廟,始建(jian)于明永樂(le)年(nian)(nian)間,位于武陟(zhi)縣城西北1公里龍(long)(long)源(yuan)鎮萬花莊中部。清嘉慶十八年(nian)(nian)(公元1813年(nian)(nian))奉(feng)旨改建(jian)為(wei)青(qing)龍(long)(long)宮,賜御匾“惠(hui)普中州”。
青龍(long)(long)宮源于(yu)一個動人的傳說:據清道光《武(wu)陟縣志》記載(zai),青龍(long)(long)神在明(ming)永樂年(nian)(nian)間(jian)假身(shen)為貧(pin)少年(nian)(nian),受雇(gu)于(yu)萬花(hua)高家,夜間(jian)現(xian)身(shen)澆(jiao)灌田(tian)畝,高家以女妻(qi)之。白青龍(long)(long)歸(gui)隱云臺(tai)山青龍(long)(long)峽,高女亦逝,托夢與親人,凡遭遇旱災,前(qian)去求雨,有求必應。高家為龍(long)(long)王奶奶建冢,官府為龍(long)(long)王建龍(long)(long)王廟(miao),香火(huo)旺(wang)盛。
二月初二是龍抬頭的(de)日(ri)子,也是廟中(zhong)神(shen)主(zhu)白青龍的(de)生日(ri)。四百(bai)(bai)多年來,中(zhong)州(zhou)大地的(de)老百(bai)(bai)姓為使一(yi)年四季風調雨順,到龍王廟祭(ji)祀。青龍宮(gong)香火(huo)旺盛,各村各廟宇的(de)經擔、旱(han)船(chuan)、盤鼓、高蹺(qiao)、大駕等民間(jian)藝術百(bai)(bai)余路都來廟內演出,八方(fang)商(shang)賈(jia)云集,九州(zhou)百(bai)(bai)貨暢(chang)流,官(guan)府出資請名團名角(jiao)唱大戲五天慶賀(he),十萬多觀光客爭(zheng)睹勝(sheng)景(jing),熱鬧非凡。
青(qing)龍(long)宮(gong)(gong)白青(qing)龍(long)與民間女幸福結合(he)的神奇(qi)傳說,人(ren)民對風(feng)調雨順的祈求,形成(cheng)了青(qing)龍(long)宮(gong)(gong)廟會。二(er)月二(er)廟會規(gui)模(mo)大,以青(qing)龍(long)宮(gong)(gong)為(wei)(wei)中心,村內各條大街,村外空地,熙(xi)熙(xi)攘攘,人(ren)山人(ren)海,每(mei)年(nian)都(dou)超過十(shi)萬人(ren)次(ci);民間信仰與社會企(qi)盼息息相(xiang)關(guan);文化活(huo)動與物資(zi)(zi)(zi)交流融為(wei)(wei)一(yi)體;官府重視,慷慨(kai)出資(zi)(zi)(zi);會期(qi)長,正會五天;祭祀和(he)文化娛(yu)樂融為(wei)(wei)一(yi)體;活(huo)躍城(cheng)鄉(xiang)物資(zi)(zi)(zi)交流,成(cheng)為(wei)(wei)武陟(zhi)第(di)一(yi)、懷慶府的大廟會。
