龍潭聖蹟亭

耕讀傳家的客家人對文字十分敬惜,在客家地區常可見到「聖蹟亭」。聖蹟亭又稱惜字亭、敬字亭,看似金爐,卻是用來焚燒字紙,以崇敬倉頡與文昌帝君。全臺現存的惜字亭,屬龍潭聖蹟亭面積最廣,格局保存最完整。

  龍潭聖蹟亭採中軸對稱格局,具三進庭園。第一進視野遼闊,往裡望可見4個門柱尖、兩個筆柱尖和一個亭頂葫蘆尖。第二進有優美的雲牆,兩旁聳立石筆,增加視覺上的穩定與崇高感,格局更開闊。第三進為主體,首先是置放香爐與祭品的祭檯和供檯,再來是方型底座,上有方壇,聖蹟亭安坐方壇上。

  聖蹟亭的爐體由下而上,分別象徵八卦、四象、六氣。下層中央有代表文風的浮雕「麟吐玉書」,兩側也有仁獸浮雕。中層為爐體,外側石柱與中央爐口邊各有敬字對聯,爐口上方橫刻「過化存神」與「文運宏開」字樣。上層原有二龍環抱「聖蹟」兩字,但已風化,兩旁也有對聯,背面中央兩片石板,其上鐫刻捐款名錄,其下則雕刻兩儀太極八卦。整體而言,龍潭聖蹟亭結構全中有局,局中有全,是中國建築的精緻傑作。

    Shengji Incinerators are common in Hakka regions thanks to the knowledge-respecting tradition. Also named Word-Treasuring Pavilion, the furnace-like Incinerator is only used to burn written papers to worship Canjie, the inventor of Chinese Characters, and Wenchang Dijin, God of Culture and Literature. This is not only the best kept but also the largest and structurally most complete of all its counterparts in Taiwan. Placed inside a three-courtyard house, Longtan Shengji Incinerator is an axially symmetric architecture. From the entrance, you'd spot the four gate pillars, the two stone pillars, and the gourd-shaped tip from the Incinerator. When entering the second courtyard, one sees the two erected stone pens, each with curved stone walls (resembling the dragons) opening up; this is meant to augment feelings of loftiness and stateliness. Finally, the centerpiece in the inner courtyard: the grand, tri-layered structure of the Shengji Incinerator. There is a shrine with oblation incense and worship items (middle), with two square-shaped base (bottom) and altar (top). From bottom up, the Incinerator's octagonal, squared, and hexagonal layers signal the Eight Trigrams ("Ba-Gua"), the Four Symbols (East: Azure Dragon, South: Vermillion Bird, West: White Tiger, and North: Black Turtle), and the Six Natural Factors (wind, heat, fire, humidity, dry heat, chill). At the bottom of the Incinerator reads "Qilin utters a jade book," referencing Confucius' birth, whereas the two horizontal inscriptions bless us with "Virtues transcends generations" and "May writing and knowledge flourish." While the stone dragons embracing the words "Shengji" are no longer visible, the carved couplets are legible. At the back, donor listings were carved on top, with Tai Chi and Eight Trigrams at the bottom. A masterpiece in Chinese architecture, its finesse is embodied within the minutiae and the grand.
