九龍瀑在丞相源下,苦竹溪上。瀑水源于天都、玉屏、煉丹、仙掌諸峰,出丞相源,然后在香爐、羅漢兩峰間的懸崖上飛瀉而下,拋珠濺玉,激流滾滾,一折一瀑,一瀑一潭,轉折九次,形成九段飛瀑,九處深潭。“第一瀑”長100米,若銀河垂懸,極其壯美,瀑頂五個直徑為1米的冰臼,名為五星洞,瀑水漫其上形成水簾。第一潭圓形,直徑50米,三面石壁各高百米,形成一個大壺天。潭邊峭壁上更有一大丹井,直徑8米,非常奇特。“第二瀑”長20米,卵形,長徑30米,寬徑15米。潭中兩端又各有一深潭。里潭深18米,外潭深10米。傳說,為龍母孵化卵處,故又名龍母潭。“第三瀑”長100米,圓形,直徑20米,位于峭壁間,深不可測。瀑邊懸崖有臺,名觀瀑臺。“第四瀑”長20米,橢圓形,長徑30米,潭邊有大冰臼,直徑5米。“第五瀑”長10米,魚形,又名魚龍潭。“第六瀑”長10米,潭中有潭,內潭深不可測,形似心,翠美異常,又名龍心潭,潭邊有松,一枝下伸,水大時,撫水擺動,名撫龍松。“第七瀑”長15米,潭圓形,直徑25米。瀑后有一洞穴,瀑布覆掛其前,形成水簾洞。“第八瀑”長5米,潭圓形,直徑20米,水色艷麗,潭邊有冰臼。“第九瀑”長120米,飛珠濺玉,底部若扇形展開,壯美迷人。第九潭潭中有一冰臼,直徑2米,色若翡翠,明艷照人。會龍亭為觀看諸瀑的理想位置。賞九龍瀑的最佳地點是九龍亭舊址,最好時間是大雨之后。每當此時,瀑水飛溢,傾瀉下折,折而復聚,聚而又折,懸掛于千仞青壁之上,恰似九條白龍騰空飛降,氣勢極為雄偉壯觀。前人曾賦詩贊曰:“飛(fei)泉不(bu)讓匡廬瀑,峭壁撐天(tian)掛九龍。”明代楊補也(ye)曾詠道:“欲下青峰趾(zhi)不(bu)前,斷崖立杖更(geng)依(yi)然。直看九派飛(fei)流下,消(xiao)人蒼茫破作(zuo)煙。”若久晴不(bu)雨,九龍瀑又似游絲練帶,細流不(bu)竭,清水深潭,碧瑩可鑒(jian),另是一(yi)番景象。
龍(long)禪院相傳是黃帝派云陽先生在(zai)此養龍(long)所筑的一所石屋(wu),乾隆(long)皇(huang)帝微服游山(shan)后在(zai)此坐(zuo)禪祭天,后人(ren)為了紀念之而建的集儒、佛、道為一體的寺院。寺院門(men)口香燭高擎,香霧(wu)繚繞,兩旁的樹(shu)枝(zhi)上掛滿(man)紅布條,給人(ren)以一種特別的感覺(jue)。
梅林書屋遺址據考證是(shi)清(qing)代(dai)歙人父(fu)子丞相曹(cao)振(zhen)鏞、曹(cao)文植(zhi)在(zai)此(ci)苦讀而建的,書屋以土圍墻(qiang),樹(shu)皮(pi)為頂,塌毀于(yu)清(qing)代(dai)末年,現所見(jian)的只是(shi)一堆亂石。
黃山丞相(xiang)源下段,香爐峰(feng)與羅漢峰(feng)之間的(de)大(da)峽(xia)谷,縱深6公里(li)稱(cheng)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)源,傳說是軒(xuan)轅黃帝養龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)的(de)地方。谷中(zhong)有眾多的(de)天(tian)(tian)然龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)景大(da)觀(guan),是龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)的(de)世界,從下至上(shang),龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)景依次有龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)女潭、戲珠池、牧龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)池、龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)禪(chan)院、雙龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)瀑、青(qing)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)澗、九(jiu)(jiu)曲峽(xia)、龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)舟石、螭龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)潭、龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)盤島、虬龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)潭、蛟(jiao)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)潭、天(tian)(tian)鼓(gu)石等,還有大(da)片(pian)的(de)原(yuan)始森林(lin),竹(zhu)海,及棲息其(qi)中(zhong)的(de)無數(shu)珍禽異獸。瀑布歷來以(yi)其(qi)洶涌(yong)澎湃(pai)、磅礴壯麗之美(mei)使豪放者振奮,黃山九(jiu)(jiu)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)瀑則更以(yi)其(qi)“峭壁撐(cheng)天(tian)(tian)掛九(jiu)(jiu)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)“之奇(qi)而令(ling)探險者驚(jing)魂。
一奇
瀑長600米,垂直落差360米,一瀑九折,一折一瀑,一頓一潭,盤旋飛掛撐天峭壁之上,宛如九條白龍穿云破霧,凌空而降,氣勢雄偉。大(da)雨之后,山洪暴(bao)發,激流翻(fan)騰,吼聲震(zhen)天,濺(jian)珠飛雨,高達(da)數十米,瀑潭(tan)不分,幻(huan)似一條接天及地的(de)巨龍(long),飛舞在(zai)青峰(feng)翠巒(luan)之間。陽(yang)光照耀時,更加(jia)彩虹飛舞,壯美之(zhi)態,世間罕見(jian)。若(ruo)久旱(han)不(bu)雨(yu),九龍(long)瀑仍流水(shui)不(bu)竭,潭瀑分明,潭面水(shui)色五彩(cai)繽紛,幻化萬千,或(huo)像片片龍(long)麟,或(huo)如(ru)朵朵牡丹,或(huo)似(si)金蛇(she)游弋,艷麗迷人(ren)。
二奇
地質結構奇特,冰(bing)(bing)川遺跡神(shen)秘。九龍瀑(pu)是U形谷,瀑(pu)邊潭(tan)中更有(you)眾多大小冰(bing)(bing)臼(jiu),組(zu)成冰(bing)(bing)臼(jiu)群(qun)奇觀。
三奇
黃山之松石峰云水諸奇都在九龍瀑周邊別具風采。站在瀑邊,可望天都、香(xiang)爐(lu)、羅漢(han)珠峰(feng),飄浮云煙(yan)之上(shang);瀑洲原始森林(lin)茂密,瀑邊崖上(shang)奇松遍布,山花(hua)爛漫,靈猴戲耍(shua),飛禽鳴趣,構成了九龍瀑的(de)整體美。九龍瀑是龍源中最壯(zhuang)美的(de)景(jing)觀(guan)。
