澎湖自古宗教活動盛行,神明繞境出巡時有所聞。繞境時神明多降駕乩身,站於神轎上,一路舞動法器,顯其神威,澎湖人稱之為武轎。隨著時代演變及科技進步,年輕人將神轎裝上霓虹燈、高功率電音設備,一路播放勁歌舞曲,亦謂之武轎,但外表內涵已與傳統武轎大不相同。為區別,後者有人稱之為「電音武轎」或「現代武轎」。本文即作者幾年來,對「傳統武轎」、「電音武轎」之觀察報告。
The ancient religious activities in Wuhu have prevailed, and the gods have heard about it when they travel around the country. When going around the world, the gods descended and stood on the sedan chair. They danced the instrument all the way, showing their power, and the Penghu people called it the martial art. With the evolution of the times and the advancement of science and technology, young people put the sedan on neon lights and high-power electric equipment, and play the songs and dances all the way. It is also called the sedans, but the appearance is different from the traditional martial arts. For the sake of distinction, the latter is called "Electric Sound Car" or "Modern Car Sedan". This article is the author's observation report on "traditional martial arts" and "electrical martial arts car" for several years.
