《河南(nan)通志(zhi)》云:“大隗山在縣(xian)東(dong)南(nan)四十五(wu)里(li),山間有(you)軒(xuan)轅避暑洞(dong)。”
清代密邑人(ren)錢(qian)青簡詩(shi)云:“十里睛巒(luan)翠色重,捫蘿(luo)引蔓訪遺蹤(zong)。臺(tai)沉力牧(mu)荒(huang)叢棘,洞(dong)老(lao)軒黃秀古(gu)松。石碣模糊秋月照,丹爐冷落曉嵐封。漁(yu)樵指(zhi)點(dian)真(zhen)人(ren)處(chu),知在(zai)(zai)煙霞(xia)第幾峰。”山之(zhi)西(xi)側為大鴻山,《河南(nan)通志》、《禹(yu)州志》、《密縣志》俱云:“黃帝之(zhi)臣大鴻屯兵于此,故名(ming)。”七(qi)敏山之(zhi)西(xi)為講(jiang)武(wu)山,據《密縣志》載:“舊(jiu)碑(bei)謂黃帝與風后講(jiang)武(wu)于此而得名(ming)。”此處(chu),翠柏成(cheng)林(lin),群泉(quan)瀑(pu)布,林(lin)壑幽勝,景色宜人(ren)。更令人(ren)神往的是靈崖山上的天(tian)(tian)爺洞(dong),因黃帝在(zai)(zai)此修煉,拜天(tian)(tian)祭祖而遐邇聞名(ming)。
因為天(tian)爺洞(dong)在(zai)靈崖(ya)山(shan)腰,東靠蒿林山(shan)(號令山(shan)),所(suo)以(yi)康熙三十四年版《密(mi)縣(xian)志》載:“靈崖(ya)洞(dong)在(zai)密(mi)縣(xian)超化西南五華里處,洞(dong)在(zai)半崖(ya),深(shen)不可測。”山(shan)上有溶(rong)洞(dong)七十二個,洞(dong)洞(dong)相(xiang)(xiang)連,縱橫相(xiang)(xiang)通,各(ge)有特名;山(shan)勢巍峨,松(song)柏(bo)蒼郁,怪石(shi)嶙峋,石(shi)穴玲瓏,廟(miao)宇依山(shan)勢而建,井井有序。相(xiang)(xiang)傳,古時這(zhe)里人(ren)煙稀少,風(feng)景秀麗,山(shan)上松(song)柏(bo)相(xiang)(xiang)間,洞(dong)深(shen)谷(gu)幽;山(shan)下(xia)古木參天(tian),泉(quan)水激石(shi),泠(ling)泠(ling)作響。這(zhe)個神奇(qi)幽邃的(de)地方,被黃帝祖宗“三皇(huang)”(傳說中的(de)三皇(huang),即天(tian)皇(huang)伏羲氏、地皇(huang)燧人(ren)氏、人(ren)黃神農氏)看中,定居于此。
據(ju)《河南通志》記載:“大(da)仙山在(zai)禹州西北(bei)五(wu)十里(li),軒轅修煉于此(ci)。”清道光二(er)十一(yi)年《重修天(tian)(tian)(tian)爺(ye)(ye)洞(dong)碑記》云(yun):“洞(dong)之中(zhong)有玉皇圣(sheng)像。”據(ju)考(kao),蚩尤(you)興師作亂,侵犯(fan)中(zhong)原,黃(huang)帝(di)(di)拜風(feng)后、力(li)牧、常(chang)先(xian)、大(da)鴻(hong)為將,運(yun)用八陣(zhen)兵法(fa),率(lv)部在(zai)河北(bei)涿鹿一(yi)帶戰敗蚩尤(you),統(tong)一(yi)中(zhong)原,天(tian)(tian)(tian)下太平,人們(men)尊黃(huang)帝(di)(di)為天(tian)(tian)(tian)子。每逢(feng)三、六,九(jiu)日,軒轅黃(huang)帝(di)(di)偕娘娘,騎駿馬,從云(yun)巖宮(gong)翻越(yue)蒿林山,奔赴天(tian)(tian)(tian)爺(ye)(ye)洞(dong)封(feng)(feng)禪拜天(tian)(tian)(tian)祭(ji)祖。山上封(feng)(feng)了(le)周長120米(mi),高10米(mi)形似蒸饃的土堆(dui)(dui),名曰(yue)蒸饃古堆(dui)(dui),它就是(shi)黃(huang)帝(di)(di)在(zai)此(ci)封(feng)(feng)禪拜天(tian)(tian)(tian)祭(ji)祖的見證(zheng)。在(zai)龍(long)眼洞(dong)發(fa)現一(yi)塊“骨(gu)器”化石,經專家鑒定,一(yi)萬多年前,我(wo)們(men)的祖先(xian)就在(zai)這(zhe)里(li)繁衍生(sheng)息,足以證(zheng)明天(tian)(tian)(tian)爺(ye)(ye)洞(dong)是(shi)遠古人類發(fa)源(yuan)地之一(yi)。
每(mei)年(nian)(nian)正月初(chu)九,三月初(chu)三、小滿、暑伏定期(qi)廟會,四方香客(ke),紛至(zhi)沓來,云集于(yu)(yu)天(tian)(tian)爺洞,懷念黃帝(di)在(zai)此拜天(tian)(tian)祭祖這件大(da)事(shi)(shi),也(ye)有人向(xiang)黃帝(di)祖宗(zong)頂禮膜拜,以保佑全家平安,萬事(shi)(shi)如意。民國期(qi)間,戰(zhan)亂頻仍,亭(ting)、臺、殿,閣多(duo)被破壞。嗣(si)后,密縣保安團團長張振武倡修(xiu)擴建(jian),廟中道士徐子丹主持督修(xiu),天(tian)(tian)爺洞建(jian)筑宏偉,蔚為壯(zhuang)觀(guan),天(tian)(tian)然溶洞,美麗(li)無比。1958年(nian)(nian)修(xiu)水(shui)庫、1966年(nian)(nian)破“四舊”,原有建(jian)筑,毀于(yu)(yu)一(yi)旦(dan)。在(zai)黨和(he)政府(fu)的關懷下,為弘揚黃帝(di)文化,四方群眾,捐資(zi)復(fu)修(xiu),使(shi)天(tian)(tian)爺洞這座幽境仙地,重(zhong)放(fang)光彩。
