Summary

[edit]
Description
中文(香港):據彭氏族譜記載,彭氏先祖彭雲因逃避安史之亂,遷居至江西宜春。北宋末年,時任潮州知事的彭延年於告老歸田時,率家人再遷到潮州,其後人輾轉南下東莞定居。及至南宋光宗年間,彭氏族人彭桂與兒子彭迪然為免戰亂影響生計,舉家南遷至新界粉嶺一帶,是為本港粉嶺彭氏的開村之祖。彭氏起初居於粉嶺龍躍頭一帶,不久又遷居於粉嶺樓附近,並迅速發展,其後於明朝萬曆年間徙至粉嶺壁村一帶,並立圍定居。

彭氏與「粉嶺」來歷

 由於彭氏很早已定居粉嶺,所以粉嶺這地名也跟他們大有關係。原來彭氏鄉民在明代掘山建村時,發現山上有一石壁,泥土顏色雪白,有如粉狀,於是當地居民便叫這座山為「粉壁嶺」,而位於附近的村落也因此而命名為粉壁嶺村。久而久之,人們將粉壁嶺簡稱為粉嶺,粉嶺這名字便應運而生。大家可能會問,那座大山至今天還存在嗎?原來這座山今天已改名為「靈山」,位於粉嶺龍躍頭附近,因為鄉民相傳該山有靈異,常於天旱時帶備祭品,到山上的石壁前祈雨,該山也因此而得名。

宗祠建於道光二十六年

 彭氏於明萬曆年間遷居粉嶺村後曾興建了一所祠堂。到了清朝道光年間,宗祠日久失修,樑垣頹壞,加上風水問題,族人乃募捐經費重建宗祠,並禮聘風水先生於道光二十六年擇吉移建現址,這就是今日所見的彭氏宗祠。這座有百多年歷史的祠堂,屬典型的兩進式建築,內有兩個大廳、數個廂房和一個庭園。大門左右懸有楹聯:「商賢世澤,宋史家聲。」對聯中的商賢,是說明彭氏一族的源流可追溯到商代;宋史所指的則是宋代時先人南下開村的事蹟。祠堂分別在一八八四年及一九七九年重修,宗祠內的部分地方也曾闢作幼稚園的校舍,為村中子弟提供學前教育。
