景區概況
據《昭(zhao)萍(ping)(ping)志略》載：純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)(yang)觀(guan)始稱庵(an)，宋(song)時依巖結(jie)茅，及(ji)明(ming)復(fu)以瓦。天順年(nian)間(1457～1464)，知(zhi)縣王(wang)施率邑人(ren)(ren)王(wang)廷蘭(lan)在此(ci)建純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)(yang)殿。武宗正(zheng)德(de)九年(nian)(1514)知(zhi)縣胡佩又(you)增(zeng)建鐘(zhong)鼓樓。萬歷(li)二十四年(nian)(1596)知(zhi)縣增(zeng)建避(bi)塵軒(xuan)、濯纓亭。清乾隆(long)三(san)十六年(nian)(1771)知(zhi)縣王(wang)鑒信佛，并(bing)將純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)(yang)殿改稱橫龍寺(si)。乾隆(long)四十八年(nian)(1783)，知(zhi)縣胥繩武于(yu)(yu)此(ci)建四奇(qi)亭、沈流橋于(yu)(yu)寺(si)后(hou)。至道(dao)(dao)光(1821-1850)重修，咸豐(1851～1861)又(you)補(bu)葺，成前(qian)后(hou)兩棟(即(ji)兩庵(an))，布局統一，結(jie)構(gou)精巧，中間建有(you)別具一格的(de)18拱長廊，連接上下(xia)兩庵(an)，其建筑形式精細獨特(te)。內供(gong)佛像，香火不斷。歷(li)代文(wen)人(ren)(ren)學士，多有(you)題詠。 解放(fang)(fang)前(qian)夕(xi)，橫龍寺(si)衰敗，混亂(luan)雜駁。至1947年(nian)，橫龍寺(si)僅有(you)一個和尚，無法管(guan)理(li)，便將寺(si)院及(ji)其附屬田地(di)(di)、山林全部出賣給道(dao)(dao)教徒(tu)李天泰(tai)、劉陽(yang)(yang)(yang)映(ying)等(deng)18名道(dao)(dao)人(ren)(ren)。從此(ci)，便由(you)道(dao)(dao)人(ren)(ren)管(guan)理(li)，并(bing)改寺(si)廟為(wei)道(dao)(dao)觀(guan)，即(ji)今(jin)純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)(yang)觀(guan)。解放(fang)(fang)后(hou)，純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)(yang)觀(guan)一度衰落，道(dao)(dao)人(ren)(ren)寥寥無幾，特(te)別是(shi)“文(wen)化大革(ge)命”期間，神像被毀，道(dao)(dao)人(ren)(ren)都被逐出，純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)(yang)觀(guan)先后(hou)被市(shi)(shi)郊區農業中學、市(shi)(shi)商業局療養院、萍(ping)(ping)鄉鐵路部門所占。直至1984年(nian)，萍(ping)(ping)鄉市(shi)(shi)人(ren)(ren)民政(zheng)府協同(tong)各方(fang)落實宗教政(zheng)策，才又(you)把(ba)純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)(yang)觀(guan)交由(you)道(dao)(dao)人(ren)(ren)管(guan)理(li)，并(bing)確立為(wei)萍(ping)(ping)鄉市(shi)(shi)重點文(wen)物保護單位(wei)。1986年(nian)，老(lao)主持李天泰(tai)仙逝，其徒(tu)劉陽(yang)(yang)(yang)映(ying)嗣其業。幾年(nian)來(lai)，劉陽(yang)(yang)(yang)映(ying)率領(ling)全觀(guan)道(dao)(dao)眾，募捐(juan)集資，節衣省(sheng)食(shi)，加(jia)之自己那獨特(te)的(de)醫(yi)術(shu)，特(te)別是(shi)治小兒麻痹等(deng)，有(you)獨到之處，遠近聞名求醫(yi)者絡(luo)繹(yi)不絕。其為(wei)當地(di)(di)鄉鄰父老(lao)行(xing)醫(yi)看病不辭辛苦的(de)無量(liang)功德(de)，感動了地(di)(di)方(fang)父老(lao)，共同(tong)為(wei)純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)(yang)觀(guan)恢復(fu)集資。同(tong)時，得到地(di)(di)方(fang)政(zheng)府的(de)大力支持和協助，歷(li)經3載，將純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)(yang)觀(guan)修葺一新，已于(yu)(yu)1989年(nian)正(zheng)式對外開放(fang)(fang)。
