Fire Dragon

大坑火龍,始於公元一八八零年,距今已有百多年矣。火龍創立前,大坑區原為一客家農村,人口稀少,村民多以耕種,打石,捕魚為生,日出而作,日落而息,生活頗為清淡。據傳大坑村某次受風災蹂躪後,發現一大蟒蛇,為村民擊斃,送警署處堆,時值夜深,放下後,翌晨蛇屍,不翼而飛,不料數日後,大坑村發生瘟疫,死人無數,村民惶惶不可終日。後村中父老,獲菩薩報夢,言於中秋佳節,舞火龍繞村遊行,燃炮竹,可驅瘟疫矣。炮竹內含琉璜白藥,加以香火,經薰蒸後,此古老良方,果然奏效,村民大喜,自始每年紮製火龍,巡行全村,祈求合境平安。火龍全長二百二十英尺,除龍頭龍尾外,龍身分三十二節,全用珍珠草包紥而成,全身插滿長壽香,故又名《火龍》,每年中秋節前後三天,在區內由三百多名青年輪流渾動起舞,巡迥各大小街道表演,配以燈飾,龍鼓音樂,頗為壯觀。
