據介紹,在(zai)北宋(song)儂智高(gao)起義(yi)時,三(san)聯杜區是賓陽府所在(zai)地,當時官(guan)兵(bing)與起義(yi)軍就(jiu)在(zai)附(fu)近激戰,但未分勝負。于(yu)是官(guan)兵(bing)就(jiu)想出了(le)(le)一個辦法:在(zai)正(zheng)月(yue)十一這天全城扎(zha)起炮(pao)龍張燈節彩,而城里居(ju)民(min)提前過(guo)起了(le)(le)元宵(xiao)節,城內一片喜慶(qing)祥和的氣氛。儂智高(gao)探(tan)得消(xiao)息后(hou)被迷(mi)惑了(le)(le),以為對方正(zheng)在(zai)過(guo)節不會有軍事行動(dong),放(fang)松了(le)(le)警惕,結果被官(guan)兵(bing)突襲打敗了(le)(le)。此后(hou),當地的居(ju)民(min)便每年都(dou)定期過(guo)起了(le)(le)炮(pao)龍節。
20世紀80年代后,賓(bin)陽(yang)人民生活水平提高,炮龍(long)節規模更(geng)為(wei)(wei)盛(sheng)大(da)。1993年炮龍(long)節,賓(bin)陽(yang)縣(xian)(xian)委、縣(xian)(xian)人民政府隆重(zhong)召開炮龍(long)節招待會,邀請廣西(xi)區、地、鄰(lin)縣(xian)(xian)各廳、部(bu)、委、辦、局、銀行(xing)、公司、軍(jun)分區等(deng)有(you)關領導及(ji)海外僑胞(bao),港澳臺胞(bao)、外籍在華(hua)的專家、教授等(deng)200多人參加。這年炮龍(long)節,為(wei)(wei)歷(li)史上(shang)最(zui)隆重(zhong)、最(zui)盛(sheng)大(da)的一(yi)次,共(gong)有(you)炮龍(long)28條,游遍全城(cheng)12條街道,熱鬧通屑達旦。2007年,為(wei)(wei)了展示(shi)賓(bin)陽(yang)悠久的歷(li)史和深厚的文化(hua)(hua)底蘊,獨特豐富的民俗風情(qing),打響(xiang)炮龍(long)文化(hua)(hua)特色品牌,賓(bin)陽(yang)縣(xian)(xian)委、縣(xian)(xian)政府決定(ding)舉辦百龍(long)舞賓(bin)州炮龍(long)節活動。
起源于北宋年(nian)間的賓陽炮龍(long)節(jie),被(bei)譽為(wei)“中國(guo)狂歡(huan)節(jie)”,每年(nian)農歷正月十一(yi)舉行。當日晚上(shang)(shang)主(zhu)要街道上(shang)(shang)群龍(long)勁舞(wu),鞭(bian)炮齊鳴。每條(tiao)炮龍(long)長達(da)三四十米,被(bei)視(shi)為(wei)新年(nian)神物。主(zhu)要活動儀程(cheng)如下:
開始的點睛(jing)儀式,一(yi)個阿婆(po)拿(na)著一(yi)只雞,咬破雞冠,把血蘸在(zai)(zai)筆上(shang),涂在(zai)(zai)龍(long)的眼(yan)睛(jing)和舌(she)頭上(shang),隨(sui)后開始舞龍(long)。
令人稱奇的(de)(de)(de)是(shi),舞龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)者都(dou)是(shi)赤裸(luo)上(shang)身。在(zai)點(dian)(dian)(dian)睛(jing)儀式(shi)之(zhi)后(hou),人群(qun)中馬上(shang)有人點(dian)(dian)(dian)燃(ran)鞭(bian)炮(pao)扔向(xiang)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)身炸(zha)(zha)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long),噼里啪啦的(de)(de)(de)鞭(bian)炮(pao)不(bu)停從(cong)各(ge)個方(fang)向(xiang)扔往(wang)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)身,而袒(tan)胸露背的(de)(de)(de)舞龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)者則快速舞龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)躲(duo)避。在(zai)炮(pao)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)老廟(miao),二十條巨龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)左(zuo)騰右(you)挪(nuo),開(kai)始向(xiang)周圍(wei)(wei)街(jie)(jie)道(dao)進發。每到一(yi)(yi)處,無數的(de)(de)(de)炸(zha)(zha)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)人緊緊圍(wei)(wei)追;每家每戶也(ye)從(cong)房頂點(dian)(dian)(dian)燃(ran)鞭(bian)炮(pao),從(cong)高空炸(zha)(zha)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long),舞龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)者則不(bu)停奔跑躲(duo)閃。據(ju)介紹(shao),鞭(bian)炮(pao)炸(zha)(zha)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long),主要是(shi)祈求(qiu)來年風調雨順、富貴平安。炮(pao)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)在(zai)炮(pao)光中游(you)(you)舞時,很多膽(dan)大的(de)(de)(de)游(you)(you)客(ke)紛紛擠(ji)到炮(pao)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)周圍(wei)(wei),伺機鉆(zhan)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)肚。傳說,鉆(zhan)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)肚能(neng)(neng)帶來一(yi)(yi)年的(de)(de)(de)吉(ji)祥如(ru)意(yi);情侶(lv)攜手鉆(zhan)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)肚,則能(neng)(neng)喜結良緣,所以(yi)很多人樂此(ci)不(bu)疲(pi)地(di)鉆(zhan)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)肚。炮(pao)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)走(zou)過之(zhi)后(hou),許多居民依然興(xing)致不(bu)減,一(yi)(yi)些男子脖(bo)上(shang)掛著一(yi)(yi)串(chuan)串(chuan)鞭(bian)炮(pao),在(zai)街(jie)(jie)上(shang)如(ru)同(tong)玩雜技一(yi)(yi)般(ban),點(dian)(dian)(dian)燃(ran)鞭(bian)炮(pao),在(zai)頭頂旋轉幾圈(quan),然后(hou)拋向(xiang)空中。許多女子也(ye)“巾幗不(bu)讓(rang)須眉”,點(dian)(dian)(dian)燃(ran)鞭(bian)炮(pao)后(hou)如(ru)同(tong)跳舞一(yi)(yi)般(ban),在(zai)原地(di)旋轉幾圈(quan),然后(hou)不(bu)慌不(bu)忙(mang)將正在(zai)鳴放的(de)(de)(de)鞭(bian)炮(pao)扔向(xiang)空中、地(di)上(shang)。
舞龍(long)結束后,人們把(ba)被鞭炮炸(zha)得(de)只剩骨架的龍(long)頭當柴火燒(shao),再(zai)在上(shang)面支起一(yi)口大鍋(guo),在鍋(guo)里放(fang)上(shang)米和(he)各(ge)種佐料,熬成“龍(long)粥”,給大家喝(he),慰(wei)勞舞龍(long)的勇士(shi)。據說喝(he)了龍(long)粥能去百(bai)病,幸福安(an)康。

只見一(yi)條條白(bai)須巨龍被(bei)蓋住(zhu)雙眼,幾(ji)百(bai)位(wei)警察(cha)維(wei)護(hu)秩序(xu)。在(zai)跑龍老廟的(de)門前,一(yi)位(wei)祭師拿著一(yi)只雞,等(deng)(deng)待開光;旁邊的(de)角(jiao)落香(xiang)火裊裊,不時有群眾(zhong)去燒香(xiang);許多臺攝(she)像機、照相機早(zao)巳(si)等(deng)(deng)候。

舞炮龍(long)。“舞炮龍(long)”即以燃(ran)放“鞭炮”彈燒狂(kuang)舞之龍(long)。民間認為炮燒得越多(duo),龍(long)在自家門前停得越久(jiu)越吉祥,并認為炮龍(long)節蘊含著(zhu)祈求風調雨順、生意興隆及喜添貴子之意。
送龍(long)。炮龍(long)舞(wu)(wu)到村頭(tou)街尾,舞(wu)(wu)龍(long)隊集中到既定地點,由(you)會(hui)首舉行(xing)傳統送龍(long)儀式,然(ran)后生火將龍(long)焚燒,送龍(long)升天。
時(shi)間:晚上,19時(shi)00分至次日凌晨轟隆的(de)炮聲(sheng)震耳欲(yu)聾,空氣中(zhong)彌(mi)漫著(zhu)(zhu)濃烈的(de)火藥味,火把此刻揮動(dong)著(zhu)(zhu),佛(fo)光(guang)寺前臨浦街已是一片火的(de)歡(huan)騰,此時(shi)人群在這里(li)歡(huan)呼著(zhu)(zhu),不知(zhi)疲倦的(de)游客伸長脖子望著(zhu)(zhu),生怕錯過每(mei)個精彩(cai)的(de)鏡頭(tou)。
舞龍者(zhe)頭戴(dai)藤帽,身系(xi)腰(yao)帶,吆(yao)喝著赤膊上陣,任由鞭(bian)炮(pao)在身邊爆炸。炮(pao)助(zhu)龍興(xing),龍憑炮(pao)威,18條巨龍時(shi)而高昂起(qi)頭,向天空噴射出一(yi)團團火焰;時(shi)而搖(yao)擺(bai)奔騰,和光(guang)(guang)彩奪(duo)目(mu)的大金珠相互輝映。一(yi)串串的電(dian)光(guang)(guang)爆竹(zhu),驚天動地脆響,為巨龍助(zhu)威助(zhu)興(xing)。
炮(pao)(pao)龍所到之處,各(ge)家(jia)各(ge)戶(hu)都(dou)夾道(dao)相迎,將事先(xian)準(zhun)備好的(de)鞭(bian)(bian)炮(pao)(pao)拿出(chu)來(lai)燃(ran)放(fang)。有的(de)家(jia)庭一(yi)買就(jiu)是(shi)(shi)(shi)幾(ji)十萬頭的(de)鞭(bian)(bian)炮(pao)(pao),從自家(jia)4樓懸(xuan)掛(gua)而下,要燃(ran)放(fang)完這(zhe)些鞭(bian)(bian)炮(pao)(pao),起碼需要20分鐘(zhong)。炮(pao)(pao)龍在鋪天(tian)蓋地的(de)爆竹(zhu)中左右翻騰起舞,給每(mei)一(yi)戶(hu)人家(jia)叩(kou)頭送福。在當地有個不成文的(de)規定,就(jiu)是(shi)(shi)(shi)當這(zhe)一(yi)家(jia)的(de)爆竹(zhu)未放(fang)完時,炮(pao)(pao)龍是(shi)(shi)(shi)不能到另一(yi)家(jia)去舞的(de),因此,往(wang)往(wang)是(shi)(shi)(shi)一(yi)個通宵(xiao),炮(pao)(pao)龍才(cai)舞過(guo)一(yi)條小街。
當龍(long)(long)(long)在(zai)炮光中游舞時,人們(men)紛(fen)(fen)紛(fen)(fen)擠(ji)到回(hui)廊(lang)下(xia),伺機“鉆龍(long)(long)(long)肚(du)(du)”,即從龍(long)(long)(long)的(de)肚(du)(du)皮(pi)下(xia)穿(chuan)(chuan)行。傳說鉆了(le)(le)龍(long)(long)(long)肚(du)(du)能(neng)帶來一年(nian)(nian)的(de)吉祥(xiang)如意:大(da)人事(shi)業有成,家寇美(mei)(mei)滿(man);若(ruo)是年(nian)(nian)輕的(de)情(qing)侶攜手鉆龍(long)(long)(long),今(jin)生定能(neng)喜結良(liang)緣,白(bai)頭偕老。鉆龍(long)(long)(long)肚(du)(du)不僅給(gei)人一種(zhong)在(zai)炮聲火(huo)光中穿(chuan)(chuan)行的(de)刺激感,更因它寄托了(le)(le)人們(men)對(dui)美(mei)(mei)好生活(huo)的(de)向往……舞動的(de)龍(long)(long)(long)身(shen),片刻不熄的(de)爆竹(zhu)(zhu)聲,大(da)人、青年(nian)(nian)、孩(hai)子(zi)紛(fen)(fen)紛(fen)(fen)穿(chuan)(chuan)梭在(zai)龍(long)(long)(long)身(shen)的(de)左右(you),樂悠(you)悠(you)的(de),全然忽(hu)略爆竹(zhu)(zhu)在(zai)身(shen)邊炸響。
龍(long)身的每(mei)一(yi)件東西都代表著(zhu)吉(ji)祥(xiang)如意(yi):捋下幾絲(si)龍(long)須,系在家畜欄(lan)上,能(neng)(neng)求得(de)家畜無病無瘟;扯一(yi)小塊(kuai)龍(long)皮(pi),保(bao)你(ni)五谷豐登;最吉(ji)祥(xiang)的是取得(de)龍(long)含于口中的財珠(zhu),商(shang)人獲得(de)此珠(zhu)就能(neng)(neng)生意(yi)興旺、財源(yuan)廣(guang)進。所以,引(yin)來(lai)人們不遺(yi)余力地“搶龍(long)珠(zhu)”,以博得(de)一(yi)年(nian)的好兆頭(tou)。
據當地人介紹,隨后當炮龍(long)(long)行(xing)至街尾時,整條龍(long)(long)僅剩下骨(gu)架和筋。這(zhe)(zhe)時由族(zu)中長(chang)者指揮人們(men)燃(ran)起(qi)火堆,奏響(xiang)八音,把龍(long)(long)投進火中,讓它隨著熊熊的(de)烈(lie)火升天,這(zhe)(zhe)叫做“送(song)龍(long)(long)歸天”、至此(ci),舞龍(long)(long)就(jiu)算(suan)結束了(le)(le)。人們(men)就(jiu)著那堆熊熊烈(lie)火,架起(qi)一口(kou)大(da)鍋下了(le)(le)水;米、碎(sui)肉、作料等(deng)熬(ao)一大(da)鍋“龍(long)(long)粥”以慰(wei)勞舞龍(long)(long)的(de)勇(yong)士,各家各戶的(de)人們(men)也(ye)紛紛來分享(xiang)“龍(long)(long)粥”。據說(shuo)喝(he)了(le)(le)“龍(long)(long)粥”能消痛去病。這(zhe)(zhe)時天也(ye)大(da)亮了(le)(le)。

賓陽炮(pao)(pao)龍(long)(long)(long)之所(suo)以(yi)能夠久盛不衰,全在(zai)于當地人民認(ren)為舞(wu)炮(pao)(pao)龍(long)(long)(long)能招(zhao)吉祥(xiang)興旺。當晚(wan)舞(wu)炮(pao)(pao)龍(long)(long)(long)時,有不少人抱子(zi)抱孫去鉆"龍(long)(long)(long)肚",以(yi)求吉祥(xiang);敬請炮(pao)(pao)龍(long)(long)(long)進自(zi)家屋宅舉舞(wu),更為吉利。有些(xie)群眾求子(zi)心切,早與(yu)龍(long)(long)(long)隊私下定取"龍(long)(long)(long)珠(zhu)",以(yi)求添丁發財(cai)。
賓陽(yang)人對鞭(bian)(bian)炮(pao)(pao)(pao)(pao)有(you)特(te)殊的(de)(de)感情,認為鞭(bian)(bian)炮(pao)(pao)(pao)(pao)代表“紅火吉利”,因(yin)此,放炮(pao)(pao)(pao)(pao)的(de)(de)和被炸(zha)的(de)(de)人,是“一個愿打一個愿挨(ai)”。令人驚奇的(de)(de)是,數(shu)十(shi)萬(wan)甚至上百萬(wan)人參加的(de)(de)狂(kuang)(kuang)歡節(jie),狂(kuang)(kuang)而不(bu)亂,歡樂不(bu)斷,多年來鮮(xian)有(you)安全(quan)事故發生(sheng)。據(ju)悉,原(yuan)因(yin)一是炮(pao)(pao)(pao)(pao)龍節(jie)當晚所燃放的(de)(de)是特(te)制鞭(bian)(bian)炮(pao)(pao)(pao)(pao),稱為“龍炮(pao)(pao)(pao)(pao)”,為當地(di)炮(pao)(pao)(pao)(pao)龍節(jie)特(te)產。每響(xiang)“龍炮(pao)(pao)(pao)(pao)”裝藥不(bu)超過0.02克,因(yin)此威(wei)力(li)有(you)限,即使在皮(pi)膚上炸(zha)開,也只能形成皮(pi)外傷(shang)痕。炸(zha)傷(shang)皮(pi)肉(rou)之后,不(bu)會很(hen)疼,3天之后會自己痊愈,因(yin)為鞭(bian)(bian)炮(pao)(pao)(pao)(pao)里含(han)有(you)的(de)(de)硫磺等物質有(you)藥效,“龍炮(pao)(pao)(pao)(pao)”不(bu)會傷(shang)人的(de)(de)奧秘也在于此。再者是當地(di)良好的(de)(de)傳(chuan)統(tong),燃放鞭(bian)(bian)炮(pao)(pao)(pao)(pao)都(dou)自覺(jue)拋向安全(quan)地(di)帶。正是這些(xie)因(yin)素使得這一傳(chuan)統(tong)節(jie)日(ri)能歷(li)久彌新、長(chang)盛不(bu)衰,并(bing)成為中(zhong)國國家(jia)級(ji)非物質文化(hua)遺產。
因為(wei)放小(xiao)鞭(bian)炮(pao)打在(zai)身上不會(hui)引起大(da)(da)傷(shang)害,所(suo)以(yi)賓陽舞炮(pao)龍(long)還(huan)(huan)有一個老規(gui)矩:炸龍(long)只能放“龍(long)炮(pao)”(小(xiao)鞭(bian)炮(pao)),不能放大(da)(da)鞭(bian)炮(pao)。如果被發現放大(da)(da)鞭(bian)炮(pao)的(de)(de)話,會(hui)被護(hu)(hu)龍(long)隊“隔離處(chu)理”。在(zai)每條炮(pao)龍(long)周圍(wei),都(dou)有一支(zhi)“護(hu)(hu)龍(long)隊”,他們都(dou)是手持(chi)火把的(de)(de)威武壯(zhuang)漢,除了護(hu)(hu)龍(long),還(huan)(huan)兼維持(chi)場面(mian)秩序。比如,阻止用不合(he)規(gui)定(ding)的(de)(de)鞭(bian)炮(pao)炸龍(long),防(fang)止人們過于靠近(jin)炮(pao)龍(long)而被炸傷(shang)擠傷(shang),遇到緊急情(qing)況,護(hu)(hu)龍(long)人也(ye)會(hui)立即處(chu)置。因此,整個炮(pao)龍(long)節得以(yi)場面(mian)熱鬧卻秩序井然、人員安全。
以(yi)前整個縣城僅有幾條龍,而今很多社區都有了(le)自己的專業扎龍人,千年“炮(pao)龍”在傳(chuan)承保護的同時也正帶來更多民(min)俗熱潮,師公劇、八音文武場、采(cai)茶戲、踩高蹺(qiao)、對山歌(ge)等極具賓陽特色的民(min)間文藝(yi)先后融(rong)入節慶(qing)之中(zhong)。
2014年(nian)南寧(賓陽(yang)(yang))—臺(tai)南(鹽水(shui))雙炮(pao)(pao)(pao)文(wen)化交流啟動儀(yi)式(shi)已(yi)于1月(yue)(yue)16日(ri)在賓陽(yang)(yang)縣炮(pao)(pao)(pao)龍(long)(long)(long)老廟(miao)隆(long)重舉行。2月(yue)(yue)10日(ri),鹽水(shui)蜂炮(pao)(pao)(pao)到賓陽(yang)(yang)表演(yan),2月(yue)(yue)14日(ri)元宵節(jie),賓陽(yang)(yang)炮(pao)(pao)(pao)龍(long)(long)(long)將再赴臺(tai)灣,參加(jia)臺(tai)南鹽水(shui)蜂炮(pao)(pao)(pao)活動,自治區(qu)級(ji)非(fei)物質文(wen)化遺產賓陽(yang)(yang)游彩(cai)(cai)架(jia)也將首度亮相寶島(dao),分別(bie)是(shi)以廣西民(min)間傳(chuan)說為主(zhu)(zhu)題(ti)的(de)“劉三姐”彩(cai)(cai)架(jia)和展現賓陽(yang)(yang)炮(pao)(pao)(pao)龍(long)(long)(long)魅力的(de)“炮(pao)(pao)(pao)龍(long)(long)(long)雄風”彩(cai)(cai)架(jia)。2014年(nian)赴臺(tai)交流的(de)炮(pao)(pao)(pao)龍(long)(long)(long)主(zhu)(zhu)要以突出(chu)民(min)間藝術為主(zhu)(zhu),全身采用反光顏料(liao)手繪圖案,并增(zeng)加(jia)了“龍(long)(long)(long)脊(ji)“、”龍(long)(long)(long)裙“等(deng)部分工(gong)藝,讓炮(pao)(pao)(pao)龍(long)(long)(long)更加(jia)栩(xu)栩(xu)如生。
如今,炮龍(long)節的影響力逐步擴大,并形成了“百龍(long)舞賓州(zhou)”等特(te)色(se)品牌,活(huo)動內(nei)容(rong)日益多樣化(hua)(hua),“游彩架”等特(te)色(se)民俗(su)也(ye)加入其中(zhong),有力地推(tui)動了當地民俗(su)文(wen)化(hua)(hua)的發展。
2010年2月,2條(tiao)賓(bin)陽(yang)炮(pao)龍(long)參加新加坡春(chun)節(jie)“國際(ji)妝藝大(da)游行”活動,讓眾多(duo)老華僑感受到濃濃中(zhong)國味。近幾年,賓(bin)陽(yang)炮(pao)龍(long)和臺(tai)(tai)灣(wan)臺(tai)(tai)南蜂炮(pao)建成交(jiao)流平臺(tai)(tai),并連續(xu)舉辦了3屆南寧(賓(bin)陽(yang))—臺(tai)(tai)南(鹽水)“雙炮(pao)”交(jiao)流系列活動。
