我出生於龍躍頭，這片富有歷史和文化的土地。每當我想起那裡，腦海中第一個浮現的畫面便是那座高聳入雲的山峰，彷彿一條龍在雲間翱翔，正如其名「龍躍頭」。這裡的一切，無不充滿了神秘的色彩和悠久的傳說。 在我成長的過程中，每一條巷子、每一座建築都承載著無數故事。老圍，這座具有五百年歷史的圍村，曾經是我們的庇護所。圍村的牆壁用青磚砌成，堅固而厚實，彷彿在低語著過去的風雨與戰鬥。當我漫步於那狹窄的圍門前，總能感受到歷史的沉重與莊嚴。小小的洞口設計，正是為了讓村民隨時觀察外界的動靜，這讓我想起那些傳說中的海盜與抵抗的勇士。 而麻笏圍的紅粉石門額上刻著「鬱蔥」二字，讓我不禁想像著昔日村民在此聚會的熱鬧場景。圍內整齊的房屋和正中的神壇，宛如一幅動人的水墨畫，靜謐而富有生氣。每當春節來臨，村民們總會在這裡舉行祭祖儀式，這份對於傳承與尊重的堅持，深深植根於每個人的心中。 在記憶中，天后宮的那座古銅鐘聲不斷回響，彷彿在訴說著過去的故事。鐘聲在風中飄蕩，伴隨著村民們的誦經，讓我感受到一種連結，無論我身在何方，心中始終有著一份牽掛。 而松嶺鄧公祠那精緻的木刻雕塑與壁畫，則是我童年時代的美好回憶。每當我在那裡靜靜欣賞，彷彿能聽見先人的低語，感受到他們的智慧與膽略。這些建築不僅是古老的物品，更是一段段歷史的見證，讓我在海外漂泊的日子裡，依然能夠感受到根的力量。 如今，我再次踏上這片土地，感受到龍躍頭的每一寸土壤、每一座建築都在呼喚著我。這裡的一切都如同一幅生動的畫卷，綻放著歷史的韻味與文化的魅力。無論未來會如何變遷，我知道，龍躍頭將永遠是我心靈的故鄉，是我生命中不可或缺的一部分。
