景區概況
據《昭萍(ping)志(zhi)略》載(zai)：純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)觀始稱(cheng)庵，宋時依(yi)巖結茅(mao)，及明(ming)復(fu)以瓦(wa)。天順年(nian)間(1457～1464)，知(zhi)縣王施率邑人(ren)(ren)王廷蘭在此(ci)建純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)殿。武(wu)宗(zong)正德九(jiu)年(nian)(1514)知(zhi)縣胡(hu)佩又(you)增建鐘鼓(gu)樓。萬歷二十(shi)四(si)年(nian)(1596)知(zhi)縣增建避塵軒(xuan)、濯纓亭。清乾隆三十(shi)六年(nian)(1771)知(zhi)縣王鑒信佛，并將純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)殿改(gai)稱(cheng)橫(heng)龍(long)寺(si)。乾隆四(si)十(shi)八年(nian)(1783)，知(zhi)縣胥繩武(wu)于(yu)此(ci)建四(si)奇亭、沈流橋于(yu)寺(si)后。至道(dao)光(1821-1850)重(zhong)修，咸豐(1851～1861)又(you)補(bu)葺，成(cheng)前后兩棟(dong)(即兩庵)，布局(ju)統(tong)一(yi)，結構精(jing)巧，中間建有別(bie)具(ju)一(yi)格的18拱(gong)長廊(lang)，連接上下(xia)兩庵，其(qi)(qi)建筑形式精(jing)細獨特(te)。內供(gong)佛像，香火不(bu)斷。歷代(dai)文(wen)人(ren)(ren)學士，多有題詠。 解放(fang)前夕，橫(heng)龍(long)寺(si)衰(shuai)敗，混亂雜駁。至1947年(nian)，橫(heng)龍(long)寺(si)僅有一(yi)個和尚(shang)，無法管(guan)理，便將寺(si)院(yuan)(yuan)及其(qi)(qi)附屬(shu)田地、山林(lin)全部出(chu)賣給道(dao)教徒李(li)天泰、劉陽(yang)(yang)映等18名道(dao)人(ren)(ren)。從此(ci)，便由道(dao)人(ren)(ren)管(guan)理，并改(gai)寺(si)廟為(wei)道(dao)觀，即今純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)觀。解放(fang)后，純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)觀一(yi)度衰(shuai)落，道(dao)人(ren)(ren)寥寥無幾，特(te)別(bie)是“文(wen)化大(da)革(ge)命”期(qi)間，神像被(bei)(bei)毀，道(dao)人(ren)(ren)都被(bei)(bei)逐出(chu)，純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)觀先后被(bei)(bei)市(shi)郊(jiao)區農業(ye)(ye)中學、市(shi)商(shang)業(ye)(ye)局(ju)療養(yang)院(yuan)(yuan)、萍(ping)鄉鐵(tie)路(lu)部門所占(zhan)。直至1984年(nian)，萍(ping)鄉市(shi)人(ren)(ren)民政府(fu)協同(tong)各(ge)方落實宗(zong)教政策(ce)，才又(you)把純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)觀交由道(dao)人(ren)(ren)管(guan)理，并確立為(wei)萍(ping)鄉市(shi)重(zhong)點文(wen)物保護(hu)單位(wei)。1986年(nian)，老(lao)主持李(li)天泰仙逝，其(qi)(qi)徒劉陽(yang)(yang)映嗣其(qi)(qi)業(ye)(ye)。幾年(nian)來，劉陽(yang)(yang)映率領全觀道(dao)眾，募(mu)捐(juan)集資(zi)，節衣省食，加之(zhi)自己那(nei)獨特(te)的醫(yi)術，特(te)別(bie)是治小兒麻痹等，有獨到(dao)之(zhi)處，遠近(jin)聞名求醫(yi)者絡繹不(bu)絕。其(qi)(qi)為(wei)當(dang)地鄉鄰父老(lao)行醫(yi)看病不(bu)辭辛苦的無量(liang)功(gong)德，感動了地方父老(lao)，共同(tong)為(wei)純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)觀恢復(fu)集資(zi)。同(tong)時，得到(dao)地方政府(fu)的大(da)力(li)支持和協助(zhu)，歷經3載(zai)，將純(chun)陽(yang)(yang)觀修葺一(yi)新，已(yi)于(yu)1989年(nian)正式對外開放(fang)。
