大坑舞火龍香港銅鑼灣大坑傳統習俗,最遲於19世紀末便已出現,但實際由何時開始卻無從稽考。2011年5月23日被列入第三批中國國家級非物質文化遺產名錄.

歷史
據說於1880年中秋節前夕的一晚,颱風吹襲大坑村,有一條大蟒吞食裏的家畜,給村民合力打死於破屋內。翌日,颱風過後,大蟒蛇屍體失蹤,大坑村發生瘟疫,多名村民病亡。


當時,有
道士說此大蟒蛇原本是龍王之兒子,因此要降疫症懲罰該村,報復殺子之仇恨,而村中又有一位老翁,聲稱有神仙打救報,指海龍王最怕是火龍克制,所以在中秋節連續三晚,即是農曆八月十四至十六三天舞火龍,就可解脫這場災難,村民照辦,並沿襲至今。

舞火龍只在香港日治時期停辦3年,第17任香港總督金文泰更曾就舞火龍向大坑居民頒發獎狀[5]。2007年舞火龍作為香港特別行政區成立十周年紀念的慶祝項目之一,在灣仔修頓球場表演。

過程
火龍晚上6時左右在大坑蓮花宮點睛開光[6],再於安庶庇街插香後起龍,先到浣紗街對嘉賓作致敬禮,多數會打龍餅(喜結龍團),之後會按傳統遊街(火龍會在大坑的街道上舞動),途徑浣紗街京街新村街銅鑼灣道等,遊街完畢會到浣紗街拔香和重新插香,後會在浣紗街表演至10點左右[5]。整個儀式可分為「火龍過橋」、「火龍纏雙柱」、「綵燈火龍結團圓」三部份[4]。2010年、2011年,火龍更在中秋正日10時左右舞至鄰近的維多利亞公園中秋綵燈會[7]

從前,節日完畢後,習慣把火龍拋下銅鑼灣避風塘的海底,以示「龍歸滄海」[4],但近年為免污染海水,於深夜用貨車送到焚化爐去,變作「飛龍在天」。

特色
火龍的製作講究。龍身全長220(67),分成32節,先以粗麻繩紮成龍骨,再用紮成(現改用珍珠草)龍身。龍頭由藤條屈曲為骨架;龍牙以鋸齒的鐵片造成;雙是手電筒舌頭片。帶引舞龍的珠球是個插滿線香的沙田柚,一共兩個[7]
舞龍時,全條龍身都插上火紅的
長壽香[3],在夜間舞動,點點星火,十分可觀。
舞龍健兒不論是否大坑居民均可參與,但只限男性

Fire dragon can burn away bad luck
Kerby Kuek
Friday, September 28, 2012

In our pursuit of modernization and development, we often neglect our unique characteristics and cultural values.
But remember we are a community and these values - passed on from generation to generation - have helped maintain the bonds within this community.

And community is what fung shui is all about.

Fung shui preaches, first and foremost, harmony within the society.

Four unique local events which have made it into Unesco's intangible cultural heritage list: the Cheung Chau Jiao Festival, the Tai O dragon boat water parade, the Tai Hang fire dragon dance and the Yu Lan ghost festival.

In honor of the season, let us look at the Tai Hang fire dragon dance, which has been performed for more than 130 years. In the 1880s, Tai Hang was a Hakka village, populated mostly with farmers and fishermen.

The story starts, as legends do, with one stormy night. Villagers killed a snake but the body inexplicably disappeared the next morning. It was seen as an omen.

Soon a plague spread in Tai Hang, taking many lives.

One night, a village elder saw Buddha in his dream and was told to perform a fire dragon dance and light fire crackers during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The sulfur in the fire crackers was said to have driven away the disease and the villagers were saved.

Since then, the Tai Hang residents would perform the fire dragon dance for three nights every Mid-Autumn Festival in memory of the incident.

Fire is one of the elements which can alter the aura as well as the inner energies of a person.

Should you be experiencing bad luck lately, do visit the fire dragon dance.

You never know - the results may surprise you!

The Tai Hang fire dragon dance will be held from 7.30pm on September 29 to October 1.

Thought for the week: Life is an echo; send out good things and they will return to you
!

四項目列國家非物質文化遺產2011年06月03日
民政事務局局長曾德成今天(6月3日)宣布,長洲太平清醮、大澳端午龍舟遊涌、大坑舞火龍和香港潮人盂蘭勝會等4項非物質文化遺產,成功列入第3批國家級非物質文化遺產名錄,特區政府將與活動的主辦團體密切聯繫,落實具體措施,以保護、推廣和承傳這些文化遺產。

當局2009年9月向國家申請該4項目列入第3批國家級非物質文化遺產名錄,4項目皆屬於聯合國教科文組織《保護非物質文化遺產公約》所界定的「社會實踐、儀式、節慶活動」類別。

曾德成表示,有關項目具有鮮明特色和文化價值,在現代化都市中,仍能在地區社群內世代傳承,並繼續發揮凝聚社區的功能,實在難能可貴;成功列入國家級非物質文化遺產名錄,顯示它們的文化價值得到肯定和認同。

他說,政府繼續致力保存和推廣本地的非物質文化遺產,並且鼓勵民間參與,令香港的文化傳統得以延續和發展。當局正就全港非物質文化遺產進行普查,預計2012年完成,屆時可根據普查資料制訂香港首份非物質文化遺產清單,有助制訂更全面的具體保護措施。

長 洲太平清醮活動已傳承了百多年。據島民相傳,清代晚期,長洲曾發生瘟疫,島民死亡枕藉。為求消災,居民延請高僧喃嘸,在北帝廟前設壇拜懺,超渡水陸孤魂, 更奉北帝神像綏靖遊行街道,之後,瘟疫果然停止。自此以後,島民每年皆舉辦太平清醮,酬謝北帝神恩,保境平安。

每年端午節, 大澳3個傳統漁業行會,即扒艇行、鮮魚行和合心堂,均舉辦傳統「龍舟遊涌」宗教活動。3個行會成員於農曆五月初四早上划?龍舟、拖?神艇,到大澳4間廟宇 「接神」,請出代表楊侯、天后、關帝、洪聖的小神像,接返各行會供奉祭祀,並於翌日端午節進行遊神活動。儀式活動過後,會把小神像送返各廟宇。這項獨特的 祭祀活動已傳承了逾百年。

大坑舞火龍活動亦有百多年歷史。大坑本來是條客家村,據傳於1880年,大坑曾發生瘟疫,為消災滅瘟,村民紮作一條龍,上面插滿香枝,在中秋前後,即農曆八月十四、十五、十六晚上,舞動?火龍繞村遊行,以及燃燒爆竹,之後,瘟疫果然停止。

香 港的潮籍人士約120萬人,他們積極傳承潮汕的人文風俗。每年一度歷時一個月的中元節,旅港潮人均舉辦盂蘭勝會,於農歷七月初一起舉行,直至七月底止,至 今已有百多年的歷史。主要活動是祭祀祖先及陰曹無祀孤鬼,包括鬼門關、燒街衣、盂蘭節忌諱、盂蘭節神功戲、大士王、平安米、福物競投等。



4 items added to heritage listJune 03, 2011
The Cheung Chau Jiao Festival, the Tai O dragon boat water parade, the Tai Hang fire dragon dance and the Yu Lan Ghost Festival have been added to the third national intangible cultural heritage list.

Secretary for Home Affairs Tsang Tak-sing said today the Government will start works to preserve and promote these Hong Kong traditions.

They come under the Social Practices, Rituals & Festive Events category in the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.

“These four items all have unique characteristics and cultural value. In spite of modernisation and urbanisation, they have been passed on from generation to generation and helped maintain the bonds of people in local communities, which has made the events particularly valuable,” Mr Tsang said.

“The cultural significance of these four items is recognised by their being inscribed onto the third national list of intangible cultural heritage. We will continue our commitment to preserving and promoting local heritage and will also encourage the participation of the community in supporting the continuation and development of Hong Kong’s traditional culture.”
