景點介紹
老(lao)子山(shan),位于(yu)廣西融(rong)水縣(xian)城西南郊。山(shan)勢雄(xiong)偉挺拔,形(xing)似一只昂(ang)首張嘴的(de)(de)老(lao)虎。虎口(kou)即壽(shou)(shou)星(xing)巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan),旁(pang)邊是虎耳巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan).壽(shou)(shou)星(xing)巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan)又名攬勝巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan)。巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan)洞(dong)壁上(shang)尚(shang)存(cun)歷代摩(mo)崖石刻。在壽(shou)(shou)星(xing)巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan)口(kou),矗立著(zhu)一尊6米多高的(de)(de)壽(shou)(shou)星(xing)翁塑像。山(shan)上(shang)還有魯班巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan)、讀書(shu)巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan)、牛鼻巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan)、伏地巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan)等10多個景致各異的(de)(de)巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan)洞(dong)。1987年,縣(xian)里重(zhong)建了靜觀樓、園通門、大雄(xiong)寶殿等。走出(chu)融(rong)水縣(xian)城,南行1.5公(gong)里,就可到達(da)真(zhen)仙巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan)。它(ta)又名靈(ling)巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan)、老(lao)君巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan)、老(lao)君洞(dong)。宋(song)紹興(xing)年間,著(zhu)名詩(shi)人、狀元張孝祥游覽此洞(dong),贊嘆不已,稱之為“天(tian)下第(di)一真(zhen)仙之巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan)”。宋(song)太宗頒御書(shu)120軸藏于(yu)洞(dong)內,并敕修此洞(dong)為“真(zhen)仙巖(yan)(yan)(yan)(yan)”。
靈(ling)壽溪(xi)穿(chuan)巖(yan)而過,可蕩小舟,巖(yan)外(wai)溪(xi)上(shang)拱立兩座(zuo)苔(tai)藻溢(yi)蒼,古(gu)色(se)斑斕的石(shi)(shi)橋(qiao),已有千年(nian)的歷(li)史。洞高30多米,寬約80米,深200多米。進洞50米處(chu),矗(chu)立著一(yi)尊乳石(shi)(shi),石(shi)(shi)像須眉巾服(fu),栩栩如生,酷似太(tai)上(shang)老(lao)君。相傳老(lao)君游至此處(chu),見風光(guang)美麗,欣然說道:“此洞天之絕勝(sheng)也,山石(shi)(shi)離(li)奇,溪(xi)原清邃,不(bu)復西渡流沙,我當隱(yin)焉。”于是(shi)化(hua)身為石(shi)(shi),此洞因此又叫老(lao)君洞,是(shi)全國道教圣(sheng)地“三(san)十(shi)六洞天”之一(yi)。
它是歷代的游覽勝(sheng)地(di),為融州八景(jing)之首,稱“水月(yue)洞天(tian)”。洞內滿壁題刻(ke),僅宋碑(bei)就有17塊之多。其中岳飛麾下獨臂將軍王佐(zuo)所(suo)題的“真仙洞”,字徑(jing)尺半,筆力挺拔(ba)。而北宋元祜(hu)黨(dang)人沈(shen)(shen)千曾孫沈(shen)(shen)所(suo)立的“元祜(hu)黨(dang)籍碑(bei)”,尤為珍貴。洞中之景(jing)美不(bu)勝(sheng)收,有天(tian)柱石(shi)星、金線吊葫蘆、鶴巖旭日、群峰來秀、仙翁對弈等。有一(yi)拔(ba)地(di)而起的鼓形乳石(shi),輕拍響如鐘(zhong)聲,鐘(zhong)聲上傳,倒(dao)懸的石(shi)乳會馬上回(hui)(hui)音,由近及遠(yuan),回(hui)(hui)鳴不(bu)息,深(shen)深(shen)扣動人的心(xin)弦。
明代大旅行家徐霞客(ke)曾在此(ci)洞(dong)(dong)住了13天(tian),他高舉火把進(jin)洞(dong)(dong)覽勝,遇到一條頭尾鉆到石下(xia)的巨蟒攔路,他抬腳跨過,蛇(she)蟒竟紋絲不動,可(ke)見暗洞(dong)(dong)幽(you)深(shen)。站(zhan)在洞(dong)(dong)內溪流的中段,可(ke)以看到真仙(xian)(xian)巖的前門和后門,都是(shi)由山石自成方(fang)圓(yuan),陽光(guang)照耀在小溪的兩頭,仿(fang)佛兩輪皎月躍(yue)出水(shui)面。這“水(shui)月洞(dong)(dong)天(tian)”的壯觀,使徐霞客(ke)不禁贊道:“真仙(xian)(xian)為(wei)天(tian)下(xia)第一,此(ci)景真仙(xian)(xian)第一也!”
