甲(jia)秀樓(lou)在貴(gui)陽市(shi)城南的南明(ming)河(he)上,以河(he)中一(yi)塊巨石(shi)為基而建(jian)。始(shi)建(jian)于明(ming),后樓(lou)毀重(zhong)建(jian),改名“來鳳閣”。清(qing)代多甲(jia)秀樓(lou)次(ci)重(zhong)修,并恢(hui)復原名。現存建(jian)筑是宣(xuan)統元年(1909年)重(zhong)建(jian)的。樓(lou)上下三(san)層(ceng)(ceng),白石(shi)為欄,層(ceng)(ceng)層(ceng)(ceng)收進,由橋(qiao)面(mian)至樓(lou)頂高約20米。南明(ming)河(he)從樓(lou)前流過,匯為涵碧潭。樓(lou)側由石(shi)拱“浮玉(yu)橋(qiao)”連接兩(liang)岸,橋(qiao)上原有小亭(ting)一(yi)座(zuo)叫“涵碧亭(ting)”,現已拆除。甲(jia)秀樓(lou)朱(zhu)梁碧瓦(wa),四周水光山(shan)色,名實(shi)相(xiang)符,堪(kan)稱甲(jia)秀。
甲秀樓位于貴陽南明河萬鰲礬石(shi)(這塊(kuai)石(shi)頭酷似傳說(shuo)中的巨鰲)上,分為(wei)三(san)大(da)部分:
第一(yi)部(bu)分浮玉橋(qiao),橋(qiao)頭(tou)立有(you)(you)“城(cheng)南遺跡”石木(mu)牌(pai)坊,牌(pai)坊中央設有(you)(you)“城(cheng)南遺跡”四個大字,橋(qiao)上建有(you)(you)“涵(han)碧亭”;
第二部分主體建筑甲(jia)秀(xiu)樓,飛甍翹角、石(shi)柱托檐、雕(diao)欄環護;
第三部分翠微園,一(yi)組(zu)由拱南(nan)閣,翠微閣,龍門書院組(zu)成的明清古代建筑群。
甲秀樓(lou)(lou)是三層三檐(yan)四(si)角攢尖頂閣樓(lou)(lou),這種(zhong)構造在(zai)(zai)(zai)中國古建筑史上是獨一無(wu)二的。由橋面至(zhi)樓(lou)(lou)頂高(gao)約22.9米,為木(mu)結構閣樓(lou)(lou),畫甍翹(qiao)檐(yan),紅欞雕(diao)窗,白石巨柱(zhu)托檐(yan),雕(diao)花(hua)石欄相護(hu),翹(qiao)然挺立,煙窗水(shui)嶼,如在(zai)(zai)(zai)畫中。登樓(lou)(lou)遠眺,四(si)周景致,歷(li)歷(li)在(zai)(zai)(zai)目。
樓(lou)前橋先(xian)稱江公堤(di),后(hou)改浮玉(yu)橋。浮玉(yu)橋如白龍臥波,全長90余米,穿過樓(lou)下,貫通(tong)兩岸。甲秀(xiu)樓(lou)初(chu)建成(cheng)時(shi)浮玉(yu)橋有(you)九孔,橋西(xi)側的沙洲(zhou)(zhou)叫芳杜(du)洲(zhou)(zhou),洲(zhou)(zhou)上花木繽(bin)紛。月朗星(xing)稀時(shi),橋與沙洲(zhou)(zhou)相映成(cheng)趣(qu),名“九眼照沙洲(zhou)(zhou)”,而解放后(hou)修(xiu)濱河路九孔石拱橋被填了兩孔,筑壩(ba)攔水,芳杜(du)洲(zhou)(zhou)也沒于水底。橋上有(you)小(xiao)亭一座叫“涵(han)碧亭”,亭柱(zhu)鐫清(qing)咸豐年間貴陽知府(fu)汪炳嗷的聯語:"水從碧玉(yu)環中出,人(ren)在青(qing)蓮瓣里行",橋南有(you)翠微閣,遙相呼(hu)應。
甲秀樓朱梁碧瓦,四周水光山色,名實相(xiang)符,堪稱(cheng)甲秀,集山光水色為一(yi)體(ti)的(de)甲秀樓有一(yi)種獨具魅力的(de)美。夜幕降臨,華燈初上,到此(ci)一(yi)游又是一(yi)番別(bie)有情趣的(de)享受。
自明清以來,甲秀樓(lou)(lou)便是貴陽(yang)文人(ren)騷客聚集之處、游宴(yan)之所,登樓(lou)(lou)眺望,眾山環抱,近(jin)者為觀風(feng)臺,林木茂蔚;遠者為黔靈山,青山一(yi)發(fa)。棲霞、扶(fu)風(feng)、相寶(bao)、南(nan)岳諸峰,羅列左右,大(da)好風(feng)光盡覽眼底(di),令人(ren)心曠神怡(yi)。下視城(cheng)郊,早午炊煙裊裊,數(shu)十(shi)萬人(ren)家飯熟時。四(si)時朝(chao)暮,風(feng)景無限,山城(cheng)氣(qi)(qi)象,歷(li)歷(li)可觀。所以文人(ren)雅(ya)士題詠甚多(duo)。現樓(lou)(lou)內(nei)古代真跡石(shi)刻、木皿(min)、名家書畫作品收藏中,清代貴陽(yang)翰林劉玉山所撰206字(zi)長朕為一(yi)絕,比號(hao)稱天下第一(yi)長朕的(de)(de)昆(kun)明孫髯翕大(da)觀樓(lou)(lou)長朕還(huan)多(duo)26個字(zi)。它(ta)概括了(le)山城(cheng)貴陽(yang)的(de)(de)地理形勢及歷(li)史(shi)變(bian)遷。該聯胸(xiong)襟(jin)開闊(kuo),氣(qi)(qi)魄雄偉,甲秀樓(lou)(lou)美景于眼前(qian)。

明(ming)萬(wan)歷年(nian)(nian)間(1573—1620)巡撫(fu)江東之于此筑堤聯(lian)結南岸,并建(jian)(jian)(jian)一樓(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)以培風水,名曰“甲(jia)秀(xiu)(xiu)(xiu)”,取“科(ke)甲(jia)挺(ting)秀(xiu)(xiu)(xiu)”之意。建(jian)(jian)(jian)樓(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)以前,王陽明(ming)的再(zai)傳弟子馬廷錫(xi)曾在此建(jian)(jian)(jian)棲云(yun)亭(ting)講學傳道。這(zhe)一傳統的中式(shi)建(jian)(jian)(jian)筑始建(jian)(jian)(jian)于明(ming)萬(wan)歷二(er)十五年(nian)(nian)(1597),當(dang)時(shi)先在沙(sha)中壘臺作“奮鰲狀”,名“鰲頭磯(ji)”,再(zai)于臺上(shang)建(jian)(jian)(jian)閣,名“甲(jia)秀(xiu)(xiu)(xiu)”,取科(ke)甲(jia)挺(ting)秀(xiu)(xiu)(xiu)之意。天啟(qi)元年(nian)(nian)(1621年(nian)(nian))焚毀(hui),總督(du)朱燮元重(zhong)建(jian)(jian)(jian),更名來鳳(feng)閣。復毀(hui)。清康熙二(er)十八(ba)年(nian)(nian)(1689年(nian)(nian))巡撫(fu)田雯重(zhong)建(jian)(jian)(jian),仍用(yong)舊(jiu)名。有(you)浮玉橋銜(xian)接兩岸。十年(nian)(nian)動亂中,樓(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)危亭(ting)毀(hui)。1981年(nian)(nian),按(an)原(yuan)式(shi)樣(yang)(yang)重(zhong)修,樓(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)基部分,采用(yong)現代建(jian)(jian)(jian)筑材料和技術。重(zhong)建(jian)(jian)(jian)涵碧亭(ting),重(zhong)修過(guo)程(cheng)中,發現樓(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)閣底(di)層石墻中嵌有(you)詩碑,重(zhong)修后(hou)有(you)八(ba)塊(kuai)詩碑復嵌于底(di)層樓(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)壁。樓(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)額“甲(jia)秀(xiu)(xiu)(xiu)樓(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)”三字(zi),系(xi)宣統年(nian)(nian)間謝石琴所書。十年(nian)(nian)動亂中散失,后(hou)尋回(hui)刻有(you)“秀(xiu)(xiu)(xiu)”、“樓(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)”二(er)字(zi)的兩塊(kuai),另(ling)據(ju)過(guo)去照片,配寫“甲(jia)”字(zi),按(an)原(yuan)式(shi)樣(yang)(yang)懸掛(gua)樓(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)(lou)頂層外面。
傳(chuan)明(ming)朝年(nian)間,貴陽這(zhe)個地方出(chu)了一(yi)(yi)位狀(zhuang)元。官府為了討好他,愿出(chu)巨資修一(yi)(yi)座藏書樓(lou)(lou),作為他讀(du)書游(you)藝的地方。為此,知府大人請(qing)了三位風水先(xian)生(sheng),在全城(cheng)察看了一(yi)(yi)番之后(hou),認為南明(ming)橋那里是(shi)塊風水寶地,回(hui)來(lai)向知府大人稟報(bao),確定就將藏書樓(lou)(lou)修在南明(ming)橋上,并且取名(ming)叫(jiao)“甲(jia)秀樓(lou)(lou)”。地點確定后(hou),知府大人又請(qing)來(lai)了本地最有(you)名(ming)的一(yi)(yi)位石匠(jiang)(jiang)和二位木(mu)匠(jiang)(jiang),帶著他們來(lai)到(dao)南明(ming)橋上看一(yi)(yi)回(hui),便下令(ling)選個黃道(dao)吉日動工修建。
知府走后,石(shi)匠(jiang)(jiang)師(shi)傅打了(le)一(yi)壺酒,把木匠(jiang)(jiang)師(shi)傅請到家(jia)里,兩個(ge)人喝了(le)三(san)盅之后,石(shi)匠(jiang)(jiang)嘆口氣(qi)對木匠(jiang)(jiang)說;“兄弟,知府大人下(xia)令造樓,哪個(ge)敢違(wei)抗。只(zhi)是(shi)這(zhe)南明河上(shang)(shang),眼下(xia)就(jiu)只(zhi)有(you)這(zhe)一(yi)座橋貫(guan)通南北,橋上(shang)(shang)要(yao)是(shi)再修了(le)藏書樓,這(zhe)橋就(jiu)成了(le)狀(zhuang)元公的(de)地盤,交通要(yao)道不(bu)就(jiu)成了(le)一(yi)塊禁地嗎!日后哪個(ge)還敢從橋上(shang)(shang)經(jing)過(guo)?有(you)錢的(de)倒可以坐船(chuan)擺渡,沒錢的(de)呢,就(jiu)只(zhi)好望河興嘆了(le)。尤其是(shi)那(nei)些進城(cheng)賣菜(cai)的(de)、推車挑擔的(de),就(jiu)更不(bu)方便了(le)。
木匠(jiang)說(shuo)(shuo):“大哥說(shuo)(shuo)得有道(dao)理,這南明(ming)橋(qiao)確實是個交通(tong)要道(dao);只(zhi)是知(zhi)府(fu)大人已經(jing)畫(hua)好了(le)圈圈,你我兄弟二(er)人又怎敢不(bu)照辦呢?”石匠(jiang)說(shuo)(shuo):“顧(gu)不(bu)得知(zhi)府(fu)大人了(le)。我們還得替(ti)百姓著想,不(bu)然(ran)(ran),日(ri)后你我世世代代都要背罵名。”木匠(jiang)說(shuo)(shuo);“聽大哥的意思,這藏(zang)書樓不(bu)修了(le)?”石匠(jiang)說(shuo)(shuo):“當(dang)然(ran)(ran)要修,只(zhi)是換(huan)個地方就是了(le)。”
木(mu)匠(jiang)問(wen):“換在哪點?”石匠(jiang)說:“沿河(he)下(xia)去一百二(er)十步,就是(shi)塊(kuai)好地方。”木(mu)匠(jiang)覺得這(zhe)主意好,就決定這(zhe)樣辦。
當天晚上,貴陽城(cheng)內陰云密布,大雨(yu)瓢(piao)潑。這兩(liang)位能(neng)工(gong)巧匠把自己的師兄師弟,徒(tu)子(zi)徒(tu)孫(sun)召集到南明河(he)(he)邊,連夜攔河(he)(he)修(xiu)橋,鑿木造(zao)樓(lou)。遠近的居(ju)戶人家本來就擔心知(zhi)府大人在南明橋上造(zao)藏書樓(lou),斷了(le)日后(hou)過河(he)(he)的通路,現在聽說(shuo)兩(liang)位匠人另選了(le)一塊(kuai)地方造(zao)樓(lou),一個個都冒(mao)著(zhu)風雨(yu),趕(gan)來相助。那天晚上,也(ye)不知(zhi)道(dao)有多少男女老(lao)少在河(he)(he)岸邊擔石挑(tiao)土,架梁(liang)立柱(zhu),只聽到人聲沸騰,驚天動(dong)地。等(deng)到東方發白(bai),大雨(yu)停了(le)的時候,一座精巧玲瓏飛(fei)雕梁(liang)畫柱(zhu)的樓(lou)閣已經矗立在碧波蕩漾的南明河(he)(he)新橋的鰲磯石上了(le)。
當“甲秀樓”三個(ge)(ge)金(jin)光閃閃的大(da)字(zi)出現在樓閣(ge)上(shang)之(zhi)后(hou),知(zhi)府(fu)大(da)人才聞訊來到(dao)南明(ming)河(he)邊(bian)。他見藏(zang)書(shu)樓沒(mei)有建(jian)在南明(ming)橋(qiao)上(shang),十(shi)分(fen)惱怒,立刻傳令叫兩(liang)個(ge)(ge)匠(jiang)人來回話。衙役們四處尋找,就是找不到(dao)那(nei)個(ge)(ge)石(shi)匠(jiang)和木匠(jiang)的蹤影。知(zhi)府(fu)大(da)人沒(mei)有辦法(fa),只好將就拿(na)這座九眼新橋(qiao)上(shang)的藏(zang)書(shu)樓給狀元(yuan)公(gong)了。
后(hou)來人(ren)們才知道,這(zhe)兩(liang)位匠人(ren)因為害怕官府(fu)追究,造(zao)完樓(lou)后(hou),就(jiu)帶著妻子兒(er)女遠走他鄉了。所以直到今天(tian),人(ren)們一直不知道修造(zao)甲(jia)秀樓(lou)的兩(liang)位匠人(ren)倒底姓什么(me),叫什么(me)。
