景區概況
據《昭萍(ping)志略》載：純(chun)(chun)(chun)(chun)陽(yang)(yang)觀(guan)(guan)(guan)始稱庵，宋時(shi)依巖(yan)結茅，及(ji)明復以瓦。天(tian)(tian)順(shun)年(nian)(nian)間(1457～1464)，知(zhi)縣(xian)王(wang)施率邑人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)王(wang)廷蘭在此建(jian)(jian)純(chun)(chun)(chun)(chun)陽(yang)(yang)殿。武(wu)宗正(zheng)德九年(nian)(nian)(1514)知(zhi)縣(xian)胡佩又增建(jian)(jian)鐘鼓(gu)樓(lou)。萬歷(li)(li)二十(shi)四(si)(si)年(nian)(nian)(1596)知(zhi)縣(xian)增建(jian)(jian)避塵軒、濯纓亭。清乾隆三(san)十(shi)六年(nian)(nian)(1771)知(zhi)縣(xian)王(wang)鑒信佛，并將純(chun)(chun)(chun)(chun)陽(yang)(yang)殿改稱橫龍寺(si)。乾隆四(si)(si)十(shi)八年(nian)(nian)(1783)，知(zhi)縣(xian)胥繩武(wu)于此建(jian)(jian)四(si)(si)奇(qi)亭、沈流橋于寺(si)后(hou)。至(zhi)(zhi)道(dao)(dao)光(1821-1850)重修，咸豐(1851～1861)又補葺，成前后(hou)兩棟(即兩庵)，布局(ju)統一(yi)，結構(gou)精巧，中間建(jian)(jian)有別(bie)(bie)具一(yi)格的(de)18拱長廊(lang)，連接上(shang)下兩庵，其(qi)(qi)建(jian)(jian)筑(zhu)形(xing)式(shi)精細(xi)獨(du)特。內供佛像(xiang)，香火不(bu)(bu)斷(duan)。歷(li)(li)代(dai)文(wen)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)學(xue)士，多(duo)有題詠。 解放(fang)前夕，橫龍寺(si)衰敗，混亂雜駁。至(zhi)(zhi)1947年(nian)(nian)，橫龍寺(si)僅有一(yi)個和尚，無法管理，便將寺(si)院及(ji)其(qi)(qi)附屬(shu)田地(di)、山林全部出(chu)賣給道(dao)(dao)教(jiao)徒(tu)李(li)天(tian)(tian)泰(tai)、劉陽(yang)(yang)映(ying)等18名道(dao)(dao)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)。從此，便由道(dao)(dao)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)管理，并改寺(si)廟為(wei)(wei)道(dao)(dao)觀(guan)(guan)(guan)，即今純(chun)(chun)(chun)(chun)陽(yang)(yang)觀(guan)(guan)(guan)。解放(fang)后(hou)，純(chun)(chun)(chun)(chun)陽(yang)(yang)觀(guan)(guan)(guan)一(yi)度(du)衰落，道(dao)(dao)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)寥寥無幾，特別(bie)(bie)是“文(wen)化大革(ge)命”期間，神像(xiang)被毀，道(dao)(dao)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)都被逐出(chu)，純(chun)(chun)(chun)(chun)陽(yang)(yang)觀(guan)(guan)(guan)先后(hou)被市(shi)(shi)郊區農(nong)業(ye)中學(xue)、市(shi)(shi)商業(ye)局(ju)療養院、萍(ping)鄉鐵路部門所(suo)占。直至(zhi)(zhi)1984年(nian)(nian)，萍(ping)鄉市(shi)(shi)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)民政府協(xie)同各(ge)方落實宗教(jiao)政策，才又把純(chun)(chun)(chun)(chun)陽(yang)(yang)觀(guan)(guan)(guan)交由道(dao)(dao)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)管理，并確(que)立為(wei)(wei)萍(ping)鄉市(shi)(shi)重點文(wen)物保護單位。1986年(nian)(nian)，老(lao)(lao)主持李(li)天(tian)(tian)泰(tai)仙逝，其(qi)(qi)徒(tu)劉陽(yang)(yang)映(ying)嗣其(qi)(qi)業(ye)。幾年(nian)(nian)來，劉陽(yang)(yang)映(ying)率領全觀(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)(dao)眾，募捐集資，節衣省食(shi)，加(jia)之自己那獨(du)特的(de)醫術，特別(bie)(bie)是治小兒麻痹等，有獨(du)到(dao)之處，遠近(jin)聞(wen)名求醫者(zhe)絡繹不(bu)(bu)絕(jue)。其(qi)(qi)為(wei)(wei)當地(di)鄉鄰父老(lao)(lao)行醫看病不(bu)(bu)辭(ci)辛苦的(de)無量功德，感動了地(di)方父老(lao)(lao)，共同為(wei)(wei)純(chun)(chun)(chun)(chun)陽(yang)(yang)觀(guan)(guan)(guan)恢復集資。同時(shi)，得到(dao)地(di)方政府的(de)大力支持和協(xie)助，歷(li)(li)經3載，將純(chun)(chun)(chun)(chun)陽(yang)(yang)觀(guan)(guan)(guan)修葺一(yi)新，已(yi)于1989年(nian)(nian)正(zheng)式(shi)對外開放(fang)。
