摘　　要：邯郸“圣井”铁牌,当年被视为祈雨“灵物”。这牵系着沿袭已久且版本不一的神异传说,更寄托着当年人们无奈之下切盼得雨弭灾的愿望。“圣井”铁牌祈雨当源自民间,后吸引官方入局,并且由下而上,及至晚清同治年间朝廷直接介入,使之在规格和层级上提升至最高。朝廷入局发挥着其示范效应,使请牌祈雨的范围、规模明显扩展开来。及至卢汉铁路通车,对事局产生影响。而随着外省的参与,则更可见其事的关联。当然,随着科技的日趋进步以及社会发展,这种事情就越来越失却市场。但通过对它的考察,不仅可以更好地认识其自身,更能从普遍意义上加深对中国传统祈雨之事的认识。The iron plaque named“Holy Well”in Handan was once regarded as a“spiritual object”for praying for rain.This embodies the people’s desperate desire to get rain and prevent disasters in those days.This iron plate originated from the people and later attracted official participation,until the Tongzhi period of the late Qing Dynasty when the court directly got involved.The court’s participation played its exemplary role,and the scope and scale of praying for rain significantly expanded.The opening of the Beijing-Wuhan Railway had an impact on this matter.With the participation of other provinces,this kind of thing became less important.With the increasing progress of technology and social development,this kind of thing is becoming slowly disappeared.But by examining it,we can understand it better,and also deepen our understanding of the traditional Chinese practice of praying for rain in a universal sense.
