素顏

                                                   沒玩部落格之前很少拍照，現在成了顏董走後唯一的寄託

                                                   所以自已成長的地方當然要記錄下來囉~~

                                                    尤其讓我遮風避雨的老家，也是記錄老街的重點.....

                                                 又剛好碰上〝媽祖宮〞《慈祐宮》舉行新北市媽祖文化節活動        

                                                   人多到連想拍照都困難，老街原本就不寬廟門口也不大擠得~~

                                                    也不知道自己來對或來錯了.....

                                                      對的是恭逢新莊百年來最盛大的

                                                                     ~ ~會香、祈福、遶境活動                          

                                                     同時今年以《媽祖慈悲心     百年新莊情》為主題

                                                   今年規模更勝往年~

                                                    共計20家廟宇參與遶境，隊伍超過三千人

                                                    4月8日至16日老街有一連串的精釆活動

                                                    也發放媽祖護照，有興趣可新北市20家媽祖廟走透透

                                                     蓋滿每一家媽祖廟的〝保庇戳章〞

                                                     現在很時興任何玩樂都有護照或景點戳印

                                                      我也收集蓋滿了很多呢~~〈會不會太幼稚年紀都半百了~〉

                                                      再說~

                                                      覺得錯是時間不對，什麼活動的照片都沒拍到....

                                                        廟的大門搭起脾坊也照不到慈祐宮全貌了

                                                從廟門口延伸排滿整條老街的人籠

                                                等著〝躦轎腳〞 、擲筊、領發財金的人籠

                                 一個接一個〝躦轎腳〞祈福改運

                                  媽祖慈悲心願大家平安順遂~~  

                                             從媽祖宮前面的利濟街來到〝文昌祠〞

                                                 這些年文昌祠也大大的有名起來

                                                 因位在環河路上平常沒什麼人

                                                  但 每年考季的時候香火鼎盛

                                                  家長帶著考生來祈求考運~~

                                                 以前讀書的時候根本不時興這些祭拜活動

                                                 也不知道有這文昌祠古蹟

                                                 以前也不懂懷舊和文化巡禮  

                                                 一切都在這些年開始~~

                                                     文昌祠不大~

                                                廣福宮是新莊唯一的二級古蹟

                                                奉供〝三山國王〞是客家人的守護神

                                                隨著閩、粵械鬥客家人退出新莊而沒落

                                                但時日境遷年代久遠後後人也不復記憶

                                                  但基本上也只有客家人會去祭拜~

                                                  閩南人都覺得它是陰廟  ，小時候老街很暗街上的三家戲院

                                                  就有二家在它的左右邊，看電影就要走過廟前           

                                                  或進入旁邊小巷，昏暗的小燈~~

                                                   好恐怖~~                

                                                  石牆彫刻的整座廟宇其建築是很華麗的

                                                街尾~~

                                              又見亡父手繪燈籠

                                            看那厚厚一層灰塵就知道有多久遠

                                             《燈籠是布面的再上二層桐油擦刷過

                                                 所以不易破裂，可去看看我的心情日記

                                                 〝傳薪、不、薪傳〞  

                                                 接著來到中正路新莊國小旁的《地藏奄》

                                                 其實以前我們都稱〝大眾廟〞

                                                  最初僅奉祀文、武大眾爺後來才供奉地藏王

                                                 《地藏奄》的稱法也不知道是從什麼時候開始的~

                                      地藏奄的入口牌樓

                                     就在中正路上坐車都會看到

                                    其實以前是被旁邊的新莊公園濃蔭的樹木遮閉住

                                    若不注意很容易就錯過了

                                    現在公園重新整理過很容易找到~  

                                          旁邊的新莊國小新門面~

                                           最近才整修完工~

                                                 新莊國小陸橋下的這塊空地《以廟宇造型裝置作圍籬》

                                                 以前是國小校長曰式宿舍，現巳拆掉

                                                 我去過叔叔家，《徐海×》曾經是

                                                  新莊國小任內校長~

                                             大眾廟輝煌美麗寬敞的廟門

                                           進入廟內就看到供奉地藏王菩薩的大殿

                                           地藏奄是民眾祈福消災、超渡祖先或冤親債主的有名廟宇

                                           廟中配有專業的法師會帶領有需要的信徒在地藏王菩薩

                                           文、武大眾爺殿前作法事，科儀，頗得民眾的好評

                                                    而現今廟會裡重頭戲〝官將首〞

                                                    也是新莊大眾廟所發展出來的陣頭

                                                     流行於北部一帶的廟會中~~

                                                    這些年有些失竊事件、或刑案

                                         都求助於地藏奄得以破案加上電視報導

                                        地藏奄因而聲名大噪，香火鼎盛~~

                                       每年的農曆五月初一是新莊廟宇的大盛事

                                          而大眾廟的慶典隊伍是最強大最有看頭的

                                        〝官將首、牛頭馬面、黑白無常、文武大眾爺〞

                                       尤其〝官將首〞的表演小時候看來是又愛又怕的

                                       拿著香的雙手握得緊緊的猛拜~~怕死了

                                        現今的人們了解那只是文化慶典的表現和表演

                                        當成民俗文化藝術看真的有趣多了

                                         這就是新莊大拜拜有名的〝暗訪〞~

                                          而〝暗訪〞都在夜晚舉行遶境

                                          全新莊市的大小廟宇大都會參與

                                          要以兩個夜晚才能遶完新莊的主要街道   

                                         我們稱之為〝新莊迎鬧熱〞 

                                          小時候爺字輩的〝阿公、阿祖〞都嘛會在這一天下午

                                          說：〝阿公〞帶恁來新莊街仔看鬧熱~~

                                          這下孫字輩的呼朋引伴的一行一、二十個小蘿蔔頭

                                          大的牽小的打著赤腳、流著鼻涕跟在〝阿公或阿祖〞後面

                                          興高釆烈邊走邊玩的走到新莊老街來看〝迎鬧熱〞

                                                 《 註： 小時候住新莊鎮的鄉下走到街上好像要三、四十分吧》

                                                那真是一大盛事~~~

                                              嗯~~好久遠的記憶了..... 

                                         以下這二張是離我老家最近的關帝廟

                                          供奉主神是《關聖帝君》

                                          關帝廟巳有二百四十餘年的歷史了

                                          也是北部地區最早最大的武廟

                                          大殿上的〝萬古精忠〞牌扁

                                           可看出年代多久遠了 

                                          大殿頂上的燈籠也是亡父的手繪~~

                                                   廟門前的一對石獅是小時候夏天最愛趴在上面涼快的寶貝

                                                    廟埕就是玩耍的地方了~~

                                                     但廟公常會出來趕人~~ 

                                                     我是沒那麼皮啦！大都男 生才會....

                                                  老街上的老餅鋪~

                                                   鹹光餅可是新莊大拜拜不可缺的重點

                                                  〝暗訪〞時會有人發放，吃了保平安~

                                                    而且神驕經過時要與神明交換香~~

                                                   老布行也改賣起喜慶婚禮傳統用品了

                                                   老街巳不再是以前的老街樣貌了

                                                   年輕人或外地人根本就不知道新莊有老街

                                                    在他們看來 就是一條夜市而巳~~

                                                  在我小時侯老街商店的門面還有很多 

                                                  像艋舺〝剝皮寮〞那樣風貌味道的商店林立

                                                  現在已完全沒了~~

                                                鮮為人知也找不著任何痕跡的〝米市巷〞

                                               喔~歌手蔡依琳成名前也住在老街上哦~~  

                                        老街上僅存兩戶有特色的老建築

                                               《林泉成和謙受益》

                                               林泉成保存得較完整~

                                                     而〝謙受益〞是為較華麗的建築

                                                     可惜破敗了~~

                                                      它是我的老家~~

                                                      年少歲月住到出嫁結婚的娘家~~

                                                      現今只住著老哥哥一人~~

                                                      三樓的那扇窗戶是小時候

                                                      和樓下對門的顏董年少情懷玩躲貓貓的地方~~

                                                      唉~~一切的前塵往事

                                                      顏董也不在了~~

                                                      再也沒有顏董和我指著照片互相取笑了..... 

                                              廟宇造型的公車侯車亭~~

                                                新莊公園裡漂亮的金魚草花

                                               新莊公園新風貌~

                                            悠遊新莊        百年新莊情

                                               隨風旋轉的可愛風車~

                                                            可愛的公園造景

                                                        公園百年老樹~~

                                                       枝椏盤棕錯結，濃葉密怖時~~

                                              公園小橋通往大眾廟的廟會舞台~

                                                     清幽的小公園~

                                                      拜拜完小憩一下~

                                                      也滿舒服的~~

                                                     慈佑宮、關帝廟、文昌祠、地藏奄

                                                     都巳列為三級古蹟     〈廣福宮是二級古蹟〉

                                                      短短的一條老街就有這麼多的古蹟

                                                      身為新莊人是該驕傲 ~

                                                         但新莊在地人卻對新莊了解不多真汗顏

                                                      在這年紀再回頭巡禮新莊巳有困難~~

                                                      小時候的鄰居、同學嫁的嫁搬走的搬走了~

                                                        所有的店面幾乎都是外地人來經營~~

                                                        僅存的幾家老店還能傳承多少歲月~~
