芭樂宮的半夜奇蹟 The Midnight Miracle of Guava Shrine 其實，芭樂宮還有一個非常特別的地方。 Actually, Guava Shrine has a very special secret. 有些人說，他們在半夜路過芭樂宮時，會聽到奇妙的聲音—— Some say that when they pass by the shrine at midnight, they can hear mysterious voices— 宮裡供奉的三尊神：扁鵲、華陀、李時珍， the three gods enshrined inside—Bian Que, Hua Tuo, and Li Shizhen— 據說半夜會「自己聊起天來」。 are said to have their own little midnight chat sessions. 有人開玩笑說： Some jokingly say: > 「他們可能在開神明聊天室呢！」 “Maybe they’re hosting a divine chatroom!” 更神奇的是，隔天一大早，宮裡總會多出一本小本子。 Even more magical, the next morning, a little notebook always appears inside the shrine. 裡面用毛筆工整地寫好一頁頁內容，像是神明們留下的訊息。 Inside, each page is neatly written in calligraphy, like messages left by the gods themselves. 春來伯會把這些內容整理、印成許多小冊子，放在芭樂宮裡。 Uncle Chun-Lai collects these writings, prints them into small booklets, and places them in the shrine. 來參拜的村民就可以拿回家，帶走這些「半夜聊天的智慧」。 Villagers visiting the shrine can take these booklets home, carrying the “midnight wisdom” with them. 村民們說： The villagers say: > 「芭樂宮的神不是給你祈福的，而是給你小驚喜的。」 “The gods of Guava Shrine aren’t here to grant wishes—they give you little surprises instead.” > 「你永遠不知道，下一本小本子會帶給你什麼故事。」 “You never know what story the next booklet will bring.”
