青(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)宮原名青(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)祠,又名龍(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)(wang)廟(miao),始建于明永樂年(nian)間,位于武陟(zhi)縣城西(xi)(xi)北1公(gong)里龍(long)(long)(long)(long)源鎮萬花(hua)(hua)莊中(zhong)部(bu)。清嘉(jia)慶(qing)十(shi)八(ba)年(nian)(1813年(nian))奉(feng)旨重(zhong)修,改建為青(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)宮。占地50余畝,古建房屋百余間,主要建筑(zhu)有龍(long)(long)(long)(long)鳳(feng)亭、主門廈(sha)古戲樓、東(dong)(dong)西(xi)(xi)門、拜殿(dian)(dian)、東(dong)(dong)西(xi)(xi)官廳、玉皇閣、東(dong)(dong)西(xi)(xi)廂、誠心橋、后(hou)寢宮、龍(long)(long)(long)(long)圣宮、后(hou)大殿(dian)(dian)等。主要神(shen)像有玉皇大帝、王(wang)(wang)(wang)母(mu)娘娘、青(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)(wang)、龍(long)(long)(long)(long)母(mu)、東(dong)(dong)海(hai)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)(wang)、西(xi)(xi)海(hai)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)(wang)、南海(hai)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)(wang)、北海(hai)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)(wang)、風伯、雨師、雷公(gong)、電母(mu)、雪花(hua)(hua)公(gong)主、推云童子、關(guan)公(gong)、木(mu)鯨(jing)神(shen)等。
青龍宮歷經(jing)幾百(bai)年(nian)滄(cang)桑,經(jing)道光(guang)、光(guang)緒(xu)年(nian)間幾次增修,成為(wei)具有(you)相當規(gui)模(mo)的(de)(de)明清建筑(zhu)群。它大的(de)(de)特點是(shi):房上、墻(qiang)上、梁(liang)上、柱上、門上、窗上到處是(shi)千姿百(bai)態龍的(de)(de)形象。宮內(nei)古柏常青,鮮花盛開,小橋流水,五色(se)金(jin)魚在(zai)養(yang)生池內(nei)悠(you)游(you)自在(zai)歡快跳躍,環境(jing)幽(you)雅,景(jing)色(se)宜人(ren)。青龍王(wang)龍母在(zai)人(ren)間所做(zuo)的(de)(de)善(shan)事和歸神界(jie)惠(hui)普中州沐甘(gan)露所辦的(de)(de)奇事傳說比比皆(jie)是(shi),歷史(shi)真實記載(zai)的(de)(de)龍文化會使你認為(wei)青龍王(wang)真是(shi)“活(huo)龍王(wang)”。
焦作(zuo)市旅游勝地青(qing)(qing)龍(long)峽與青(qing)(qing)龍(long)宮本為一(yi)家,有著一(yi)脈相(xiang)通的聯系。據廟內明朝嘉靖六年(1527年)石碣“高氏(shi)家傳遺言記”記載:青(qing)(qing)龍(long)峽為明永樂年間萬花(hua)莊高白寧陪(pei)給(gei)龍(long)母(mu)的嫁(jia)妝地,“陪(pei)嫁(jia)莊”村由此(ci)而(er)得名。青(qing)(qing)龍(long)峽中的青(qing)(qing)龍(long)洞是青(qing)(qing)龍(long)王(wang)龍(long)母(mu)夫婦歸(gui)天常居之(zhi)處(chu)。因此(ci),想游青(qing)(qing)龍(long)峽先觀青(qing)(qing)龍(long)宮,這樣(yang)我們既看(kan)到了(le)龍(long)文化(hua)的內涵,又感受到了(le)大自然(ran)的美景。
武(wu)陟青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)始源于(yu)一(yi)(yi)個神(shen)話(hua)傳說(shuo)(shuo),清道(dao)光版的《武(wu)陟縣(xian)志》卷十(shi)(shi)九《古跡》篇記(ji)(ji)載(zai):“青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)廟(miao)(青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong))在(zai)縣(xian)治東(dong)北路萬花莊(zhuang)。舊傳青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)神(shen)于(yu)明(ming)永樂時,假身為(wei)(wei)(wei)貧少年(nian),傭力于(yu)本莊(zhuang)高氏家,白晝刻(ke)木(mu)為(wei)(wei)(wei)‘鯨’,夜則灌園田,稼茂異常,高氏瞰其(qi)蹤跡,見云(yun)霧中有一(yi)(yi)龍(long)(long)(long)在(zai)井上,尤是大奇,妻之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)以(yi)女,其(qi)后(hou),忽見夢于(yu)高氏曰:‘吾(wu)以(yi)有異汝(ru),若逢旱(han)(han)時,赴青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)洞求雨必(bi)應’。尺醒則神(shen)已化去,其(qi)妻亦逝。所遺即(ji)牒文(wen)木(mu)鯨也,自是有禱必(bi)應,建祠記(ji)(ji)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)”。又有碑(bei)文(wen)記(ji)(ji)載(zai):“龍(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)顯(xian)世(shi)于(yu)明(ming)初永樂年(nian)間(jian)。每逢亢旱(han)(han)祈雨輒應,以(yi)是創(chuang)建廟(miao)宇”。增建青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)神(shen)記(ji)(ji)碑(bei)文(wen)載(zai):“青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)為(wei)(wei)(wei)嘉慶(qing)朝前(qian)政莊(zhuang)君鼎建”。道(dao)光二十(shi)(shi)五年(nian)(1845年(nian))碑(bei)文(wen)載(zai):“嘉慶(qing)年(nian)間(jian)邑侯聞其(qi)異,因匾所舉曰‘青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)’”。玉(yu)皇(huang)閣(ge)上層(ceng)中間(jian)脊檁下知縣(xian)孫(sun)肅(su)元(yuan)手(shou)書:“大清嘉慶(qing)十(shi)(shi)八年(nian)歲(sui)癸酉(you)四月上浣吉知武(wu)陟事仁和(he)孫(sun)肅(su)元(yuan)率同闔紳(shen)耆士(shi)民(min)創(chuang)建,自立之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)后(hou)永保風調雨順,平安大吉”。玉(yu)皇(huang)閣(ge)底(di)層(ceng)檐下又懸“圣旨”牌。所以(yi)說(shuo)(shuo)青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)的主體(ti)建筑玉(yu)皇(huang)閣(ge)、戲樓(lou)、主門廈為(wei)(wei)(wei)清嘉慶(qing)十(shi)(shi)八年(nian)(1813年(nian))由觀(guan)察使莊(zhuang)振請旨,帶官銀支助,在(zai)原青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)祠的舊址上重建的。命知縣(xian)孫(sun)肅(su)元(yuan)親(qin)自率領族工(gong),并(bing)親(qin)手(shou)書青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)祠更(geng)名(ming)青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)。據青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)新修后(hou)殿記(ji)(ji)碑(bei)文(wen)載(zai):“光緒(xu)三年(nian)大旱(han)(han),大府遺員……奏請御賜匾額,由是青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)名(ming)益顯(xian)”。光緒(xu)皇(huang)帝御筆之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)寶“惠(hui)普(pu)中州”一(yi)(yi)式兩面(mian),一(yi)(yi)面(mian)懸掛青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)宮(gong)(gong),另一(yi)(yi)面(mian)懸掛于(yu)太行山(shan)青(qing)(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)峽(xia)的龍(long)(long)(long)神(shen)祠。慈禧太后(hou)御筆“靈濟東(dong)都”匾一(yi)(yi)面(mian)(現已遺失)。

在河南武陟,有一塊神奇的土地。在這塊土地上,每年農(nong)歷二(er)月初二(er)開始車馬(ma)軸集,人頭攢動(dong),鑼鼓喧(xuan)天(tian),龍(long)飛鳳舞(wu),香煙繚繞,聚(ju)各(ge)鄉各(ge)村民(min)間藝(yi)術(shu)之精英,匯山南海北之百貨(huo),傳青(qing)龍(long)民(min)女之神話,結倩(qian)男靚(jing)女之情緣(yuan)……這就是萬花莊(zhuang)青(qing)龍(long)宮(gong)廟會(hui)。
青龍宮(gong)二(er)月二(er)廟會歷史悠久。青龍宮(gong)原名青龍祠,又(you)名龍王(wang)廟,始建(jian)于(yu)明永樂年間(jian),位(wei)于(yu)武(wu)陟(zhi)縣城西(xi)北1公(gong)里龍源(yuan)鎮萬花莊中部。清(qing)嘉慶十(shi)八年(公(gong)元1813年)奉(feng)旨改建(jian)為(wei)青龍宮(gong),賜御(yu)匾“惠普中州”。
青(qing)(qing)龍(long)宮源于一(yi)個動人的(de)傳說(shuo):據清(qing)道(dao)光《武陟縣(xian)志》記載,青(qing)(qing)龍(long)神在(zai)明永(yong)樂年間假身(shen)為貧少(shao)年,受雇于萬花(hua)高(gao)家(jia),夜間現身(shen)澆(jiao)灌田畝,高(gao)家(jia)以女妻(qi)之。白青(qing)(qing)龍(long)歸隱(yin)云臺山青(qing)(qing)龍(long)峽,高(gao)女亦逝,托夢與親人,凡遭遇(yu)旱災,前去求雨,有求必應(ying)。高(gao)家(jia)為龍(long)王(wang)奶奶建(jian)冢,官府(fu)為龍(long)王(wang)建(jian)龍(long)王(wang)廟,香火旺盛。
二月(yue)初二是龍(long)(long)抬頭的(de)日(ri)子,也是廟中神主白青龍(long)(long)的(de)生日(ri)。四百多年(nian)來,中州大地的(de)老百姓為使一年(nian)四季(ji)風調(diao)雨順,到(dao)龍(long)(long)王(wang)廟祭祀。青龍(long)(long)宮(gong)香火(huo)旺(wang)盛,各村各廟宇的(de)經(jing)擔、旱(han)船、盤鼓(gu)、高蹺、大駕等民間藝術百余(yu)路都來廟內(nei)演出(chu),八方(fang)商賈云集,九州百貨暢流,官(guan)府出(chu)資請名團名角唱大戲五天慶賀,十萬多觀(guan)光客爭(zheng)睹勝景,熱鬧非凡。
青龍宮(gong)白青龍與(yu)(yu)民間女幸福結(jie)合的(de)神(shen)奇傳說(shuo),人民對風(feng)調雨(yu)順的(de)祈求,形(xing)成了青龍宮(gong)廟會(hui)。二月(yue)二廟會(hui)規模大,以青龍宮(gong)為(wei)中心,村內(nei)各條大街,村外空(kong)地(di),熙熙攘攘,人山人海(hai),每年都超過十萬人次;民間信仰與(yu)(yu)社會(hui)企(qi)盼息息相關;文化活動與(yu)(yu)物資(zi)交流融為(wei)一體;官府重(zhong)視,慷慨(kai)出資(zi);會(hui)期長,正會(hui)五(wu)天;祭祀和文化娛樂融為(wei)一體;活躍城(cheng)鄉物資(zi)交流,成為(wei)武陟第一、懷慶府的(de)大廟會(hui)。
