暴走泮塘村睇龍船：明朝400年老龍「仁威一號」出水，38米長凸眼龍再現荔灣湖（4K）Exploring Pantang Village's Dragon Boat(4K)

「四月八，龍船透底挖。」每年農曆四月初八前後，廣州各個村落都會舉行「起龍」儀式，將沉睡喺河涌淤泥中一整年嘅龍船挖出嚟，為端午節扒龍船做準備。而荔灣泮塘村嘅起龍儀式，係廣州龍船季最受關注嘅開篇。 🐉 泮塘龍船——九龍齊出水 泮塘村嘅龍船竇（收藏龍船嘅地方）位於荔灣湖，分為三個竇口——首二三約同四約嘅龍船竇喺玉翠湖畔，五約嘅龍船竇喺疊翠湖畔。呢三個竇口深埋住泮塘9條龍船：首二三約3條、四約1條、五約5條（包括2條玻璃鋼材質龍船）。 2026年5月24日（農曆四月初八），泮塘村舉行起龍儀式。村民們分別從梁家祠、龍船會以及三官廟出發，牲、酒、茶、齋、果、餅等供品整齊陳列，喺長老嘅主持下完成祈福儀式。鑼鼓開道，龍船彩旗隨風飄揚，三支隊伍浩浩蕩蕩前往荔灣湖。 🏛️ 仁威老龍——400歲嘅「凸眼龍」 喺出水嘅龍船中，首二三約嘅「老龍」——綠底龍船牌寫有「仁威」金字嘅仁威一號最為吸睛。 呢條老龍誕生於明嘉靖年間，有超過400年歷史，全長38.3米，寬約1.2米，重近3.5噸，由坤甸木打造，係荔灣現存最古老嘅龍船之一。佢最大嘅特色係「凸眼龍」設計，龍頭雙眼突出，威風凜凜，同常見嘅龍船造型好唔同。 🤝 龍船結契——鹽步老龍與泮塘凸眼龍 仁威一號背後有一段傳奇佳話。相傳明朝萬曆年間，廣州官府組織龍舟比賽，當時已有100幾歲嘅鹽步龍舟同龍舟「後生仔」泮塘凸眼龍同場競技。泮塘凸眼龍奪得錦旗，但泮塘村嘅老人認為鹽步龍舟劃得最快，應該將獎品送回鹽步。鹽步人執意不收，雙方推讓之下，泮塘長老提議：「鹽步龍舟年老，有白鬚，做契爺（乾爹）；泮塘凸眼龍『後生』，做契仔（乾兒子）。」從此兩龍結契，至今已超過400年。 每逢端午，鹽步老龍都會到訪泮塘，泮塘村民會為老龍「簪花掛紅」，場面隆重。 🛶 起龍儀式全過程 落水前祈福：村民落水前，村中有威望嘅老人會向佢哋灑經柚子葉、黃皮葉浸泡過嘅水，寓意大吉大利。 挖龍：數十名青壯年赤腳落水，先清理積喺船艙裡嘅泥沙，再刮鬆船底黏糊嘅泥漿，隨後眾人齊聲吶喊，將龍船一寸寸抬起。桶盆齊上，舀水清淤，水花翻湧。泮塘村民形容：「沙泥裹著船身，就像巨龍在冬眠，我們要親手把它『叫醒』。」 清洗與裝扮：出水後嘅龍船先清洗乾淨，以豬油塗抹船身（傳統防腐處理），再安裝龍頭龍尾、放置龍船鼓同龍船牌，最後以彩旗裝點。 試水試扒：裝扮完畢，龍船即刻落水試扒。鼓點催槳，水花飛濺，岸上歡呼聲此起彼伏。泮塘婦女仲會扒起專屬嘅「鳳船」助興。 "On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, the dragon boats are dug out from the bottom." Every year around this time, villages across Guangzhou hold the "Dragon Awakening" ceremony, unearthing dragon boats that have been buried in river mud for a whole year in preparation for the Dragon Boat Festival races. And the ceremony at Pantang Village in Liwan is the most anticipated opening of Guangzhou's dragon boat season. 🐉 Pantang Dragon Boats—Nine Dragons Emerge Together The dragon boat dens in Pantang Village are located in Liwan Lake, divided into three sites. The boats from the First-Second-Third Agreement and Fourth Agreement are in Yucui Lake, while those from the Fifth Agreement are in Diecui Lake. These three dens hold 9 dragon boats from Pantang: 3 from the First-Second-Third Agreement, 1 from the Fourth Agreement, and 5 from the Fifth Agreement (including 2 fiberglass boats). On May 24, 2026 (the 8th day of the 4th lunar month), Pantang Village held its "Dragon Awakening" ceremony. Villagers set off from the Liang Family Ancestral Hall, the Dragon Boat Association, and the Sanguan Temple, with offerings neatly arranged and a blessing ceremony presided over by village elders. Accompanied by gongs and drums and colorful flags, three teams proceeded to Liwan Lake. 🏛️ Renwei Old Dragon—The 400-Year-Old "Bulging-Eye Dragon" Among the boats that emerged, the most eye-catching was the First-Second-Third Agreement's "old dragon"—Renwei No.1, with its green bottom and golden "Renwei" characters on the dragon boat plaque. This old dragon was built during the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty and is over 400 years old. It measures 38.3 meters in length, about 1.2 meters wide, and weighs nearly 3.5 tons. Made of Kundian wood, it is one of the oldest surviving dragon boats in Liwan. Its most distinctive feature is the "bulging-eye dragon" design, with the dragon head's eyes protruding prominently, making it very different from common dragon boat designs. 🤝 Dragon Boat Brotherhood—The Yanbu Old Dragon and the Pantang Bulging-Eye Dragon Behind Renwei No.1 lies a legendary tale. According to legend, during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, an official dragon boat race was held in Guangzhou. The Yanbu dragon boat, already over 100 years old at the time, competed against the "youngster" Pantang bulging-eye dragon boat. The Pantang boat won the flag, but the village elders believed the Yanbu boat had rowed faster and insisted on returning the prize. The Yanbu people refused, and after much back and forth, a Pantang elder proposed: "The Yanbu dragon boat, old with a white beard, will be the godfather; the Pantang bulging-eye dragon, young, will be the godson." The two dragons have been bound by this brotherhood for over 400 years. Every Dragon Boat Festival, the Yanbu old dragon visits Pantang, where villagers welcome it with the traditional "flower pinning and red silk" ceremony. #chinatravel #旅行 #cantonese #旅行 #citywalk #景點 #街頭攝影 #攝影技巧 #拍照技巧 #拍照教學 #citytour #streetwalking #chinatour #walkingdowntown #busystreet #粤语 #cantonese #guangzhou #walkthrough #vlog #photography #photoshoot #filmcamera #fujifilm #leicacamera #camera
