景區概況
據《昭萍(ping)志略》載(zai)：純(chun)陽(yang)觀(guan)始稱庵，宋時依(yi)巖結(jie)(jie)茅，及明復以瓦。天順年(nian)間(jian)(1457～1464)，知(zhi)縣王(wang)施率邑人王(wang)廷蘭在此(ci)建純(chun)陽(yang)殿(dian)。武宗正(zheng)德九年(nian)(1514)知(zhi)縣胡佩又增建鐘鼓樓(lou)。萬歷(li)二十(shi)四年(nian)(1596)知(zhi)縣增建避塵軒、濯纓亭。清(qing)乾(qian)隆三(san)十(shi)六年(nian)(1771)知(zhi)縣王(wang)鑒信佛，并(bing)將(jiang)純(chun)陽(yang)殿(dian)改稱橫(heng)龍寺。乾(qian)隆四十(shi)八年(nian)(1783)，知(zhi)縣胥繩武于(yu)此(ci)建四奇亭、沈流橋于(yu)寺后(hou)。至道(dao)(dao)光(1821-1850)重修，咸(xian)豐(1851～1861)又補葺，成(cheng)前(qian)后(hou)兩棟(即兩庵)，布局統一(yi)(yi)，結(jie)(jie)構精巧(qiao)，中間(jian)建有別具一(yi)(yi)格(ge)的(de)18拱長廊(lang)，連(lian)接上下兩庵，其(qi)建筑(zhu)形式(shi)(shi)精細獨(du)特(te)。內供佛像，香火不斷(duan)。歷(li)代文(wen)(wen)人學(xue)士，多有題詠。 解(jie)放前(qian)夕，橫(heng)龍寺衰敗，混亂(luan)雜駁。至1947年(nian)，橫(heng)龍寺僅有一(yi)(yi)個和(he)尚(shang)，無法(fa)管(guan)理，便(bian)將(jiang)寺院(yuan)及其(qi)附屬田地(di)、山林全部(bu)出賣給(gei)道(dao)(dao)教徒李天泰(tai)、劉(liu)陽(yang)映等18名道(dao)(dao)人。從此(ci)，便(bian)由道(dao)(dao)人管(guan)理，并(bing)改寺廟為道(dao)(dao)觀(guan)，即今純(chun)陽(yang)觀(guan)。解(jie)放后(hou)，純(chun)陽(yang)觀(guan)一(yi)(yi)度衰落，道(dao)(dao)人寥(liao)寥(liao)無幾，特(te)別是“文(wen)(wen)化大(da)革命”期間(jian)，神像被毀，道(dao)(dao)人都(dou)被逐出，純(chun)陽(yang)觀(guan)先(xian)后(hou)被市郊區農業中學(xue)、市商業局療養院(yuan)、萍(ping)鄉鐵(tie)路(lu)部(bu)門所占。直至1984年(nian)，萍(ping)鄉市人民政(zheng)府(fu)協(xie)(xie)同(tong)(tong)各方(fang)落實宗教政(zheng)策(ce)，才又把純(chun)陽(yang)觀(guan)交由道(dao)(dao)人管(guan)理，并(bing)確立為萍(ping)鄉市重點文(wen)(wen)物保護單位。1986年(nian)，老主(zhu)持李天泰(tai)仙(xian)逝，其(qi)徒劉(liu)陽(yang)映嗣其(qi)業。幾年(nian)來，劉(liu)陽(yang)映率領全觀(guan)道(dao)(dao)眾，募(mu)捐集(ji)資，節(jie)衣省食，加(jia)之自(zi)己(ji)那獨(du)特(te)的(de)醫術，特(te)別是治小兒(er)麻痹等，有獨(du)到(dao)之處，遠近聞名求醫者(zhe)絡繹(yi)不絕。其(qi)為當地(di)鄉鄰父老行醫看病(bing)不辭辛苦的(de)無量功德，感動了地(di)方(fang)父老，共同(tong)(tong)為純(chun)陽(yang)觀(guan)恢(hui)復集(ji)資。同(tong)(tong)時，得到(dao)地(di)方(fang)政(zheng)府(fu)的(de)大(da)力支持和(he)協(xie)(xie)助，歷(li)經3載(zai)，將(jiang)純(chun)陽(yang)觀(guan)修葺一(yi)(yi)新，已于(yu)1989年(nian)正(zheng)式(shi)(shi)對外(wai)開放。
