中国幅员广阔,各地民俗也千差万别。就是同样一个节日,其民俗事象却回异不同。农历七月初七,原是我国传统的七夕,喜鹊搭桥,牛女相会,这在汉族和许多少数民族中都有这个节日,现在已发展成为我国的情人节。可是在福建省南平县的樟湖镇,这天过的却是古老的蛇王节,并且还保留了真蛇坐轿出巡,人们手拿活蛇列队游行的传统习俗。今年七月,我正在福建考察,听到这一消息,十分高兴,这机会千载难逢呀,就打点行装匆匆上路,直奔樟湖镇。 这个依山傍水的乡镇,位于闽江中流,群山环绕,林树莽苍。首先,我去瞻仰了蛇王庙,据说始建于明代,何时不明。庙址在一处山坡上,坐东朝西,进深七米,面阔三间。此庙与众不同的是;在庙的四周屋檐下的如意斗拱伸出的昂头上,分别雕有四个神志逼真的蛇头,前檐的六组斗拱上也雕有蛇头形象。据老人说,过去庙的屋顶两端,有两条大蛇的雕塑造型。不知什么时候改为现在的双龙形象,这令人遗憾(为此,我曾建议镇领导,在调查属实的基础上,可恢复双蛇形象,还它本来真面目。这正是蛇王庙的特色)。你如果仔细观察,还可发现在前檐屋顶两边,仍可依稀看见有蛇形的装饰图案,蛇首高翘,十分相似。 说起保存这座蛇王庙,还有一段令人感动的事迹。此庙原址原在水口,1993年因建水电站需要,必须拆掉蛇王庙。结? China is vast in size and its folklore is vastly different. It is the same festival, but its folklore is different. The seventh day of the seventh lunar month was originally the traditional Tanabata of our country. The magpie bridge and the cow met each other. This festival is held in the Han and many ethnic minorities. It has now developed into a Valentine’s Day in our country. However, in Zhangpu Town, Nanping County, Fujian Province, the ancient Snake King Festival was the day before. It also kept the traditional practice of riding a snake and carrying a snake parade. In July this year, I was studying in Fujian and I was very glad to hear the news. It was a golden opportunity. I hurriedly put my clothes on the road and went straight to Camphor Town. The Yishanbangshui township, located in the Minjiang mid-stream, surrounded by mountains, trees Mang Mang. First of all, I went to see the Snake Temple, it is said that was built in the Ming Dynasty, when unknown. Temple site on a hillside, sitting east west, into the depth of seven meters, Miankuo three. This temple is different; in the Temple under the eaves of the arrogant bucket out of the proud head, were carved with four vivid snake head, the former eaves of the six groups of rattan also carved a snakehead image. According to the old man, there are two sculptural forms of the great serpent at the two ends of the roof of the temple in the past. It is regrettable that I do not know when I changed my name to the current Ssangyong image (for this reason, I suggested that the leadership of the town should restore the image of the Twin Snake on the basis of a true investigation, and it is also the true character of the Snake Temple) . If you look carefully, you can also find the front eaves on both sides of the roof, you can still see a vaguely decorative snake-shaped pattern, the first snake head Alice, are very similar. Speaking of the preservation of this snake Temple, there is a moving deeds. The original site of this temple in the outlet, due to the need of Jianshui Hydropower Station in 1993, must be demolished snake Temple. Knot?
