靈(ling)山(shan)風(feng)景區(qu)(qu)位于即墨(mo)城北(bei)15公里(li)處,占地4平(ping)方公里(li),她以優美(mei)的(de)(de)自(zi)然景色,淳樸的(de)(de)田園風(feng)光,悠久的(de)(de)民(min)俗文化,吸(xi)引著四(si)面(mian)八方的(de)(de)游(you)客蜂擁而至(zhi),風(feng)景區(qu)(qu)主(zhu)體(ti)--靈(ling)山(shan),百里(li)平(ping)川拔地而起,海拔高度154.6米,山(shan)體(ti)三峰(feng)呈東(dong)南(nan)方向排(pai)列,西峰(feng)最高,東(dong)峰(feng)次之(zhi),中峰(feng)最低。
現有主要景(jing)點有老母廟、靈(ling)山(shan)廟、玉皇廟、聚仙洞、觀音胡(hu)仙殿、神話城等,2001年被即(ji)墨市命名(ming)為“即(ji)墨市靈(ling)山(shan)森(sen)公園”,2007年被評為國家A級旅游景(jing)區。
靈(ling)(ling)山(shan)有(you)著(zhu)悠久(jiu)的文(wen)化歷史,原名(ming)“零山(shan)”,因主峰狀似靈(ling)(ling)芝,故又稱(cheng)“靈(ling)(ling)芝山(shan)”。由于傳說靈(ling)(ling)山(shan)老母非(fei)常靈(ling)(ling)驗(yan),后人(ren)們改稱(cheng)靈(ling)(ling)山(shan)。
靈(ling)(ling)山(shan)(shan)人文景(jing)觀(guan)較多,自然景(jing)色(se)迷人,素(su)有(you)“鐘靈(ling)(ling)毓(yu)秀、人杰地(di)靈(ling)(ling)、仙山(shan)(shan)圣(sheng)(sheng)母”而聞名遐(xia)邇。“靈(ling)(ling)山(shan)(shan)老(lao)母”的諸多傳(chuan)說美妙(miao)動人,婦孺皆知(zhi),求其(qi)(qi)保佑者紛至(zhi)沓來,靈(ling)(ling)山(shan)(shan)廟(miao)建設相傳(chuan)始于周元(yuan)王五年(nian)(公元(yuan)前(qian)471年(nian)),距今已(yi)有(you)2400余年(nian),后經唐朝、明(ming)朝兩次(ci)大修整和擴建已(yi)成較大規模,自道(dao)光、咸(xian)豐年(nian)間后逐(zhu)漸破敗,廟(miao)宇頹廢,殘(can)破不(bu)堪,直到1929年(nian)(民國(guo)十(shi)八年(nian))靈(ling)(ling)山(shan)(shan)主持手(shou)(shou)持《重修靈(ling)(ling)山(shan)(shan)廟(miao)宇》四處扣化(hua)募捐(juan),這才融民間資(zi)金重新將(jiang)廟(miao)宇修復起來,并(bing)且(qie)有(you)了(le)新的規模,修復后的廟(miao)宇殿(dian)(dian)(dian)堂(tang)有(you)圣(sheng)(sheng)母殿(dian)(dian)(dian)、眼光殿(dian)(dian)(dian)、疹豆殿(dian)(dian)(dian)、送(song)生殿(dian)(dian)(dian)、十(shi)八只手(shou)(shou)殿(dian)(dian)(dian)、玉(yu)皇殿(dian)(dian)(dian)、觀(guan)音殿(dian)(dian)(dian)等(deng)(deng)十(shi)大殿(dian)(dian)(dian)堂(tang),其(qi)(qi)中圣(sheng)(sheng)母殿(dian)(dian)(dian)規模大也富麗堂(tang)皇,是靈(ling)(ling)山(shan)(shan)代表性(xing)的道(dao)教殿(dian)(dian)(dian)堂(tang),所以人們說“游靈(ling)(ling)山(shan)(shan)不(bu)拜老(lao)母殿(dian)(dian)(dian)等(deng)(deng)于沒(mei)來”。
靈山(shan)風景(jing)區除人文景(jing)觀外,大自然(ran)的(de)(de)鬼斧神工為其(qi)添設諸多的(de)(de)風采,主(zhu)要有(you)青霄(xiao)遺殼、豐都城、聚寶盆(pen)、鐵耙齒、望(wang)海石、仙(xian)人洞(dong)、扁(bian)擔眼、玉女盆(pen)、黑虎(hu)泉等自然(ran)景(jing)觀歷代的(de)(de)文士墨(mo)客為他(ta)們寫下了(le)優美(mei)的(de)(de)詩章。
然而無情的(de)戰(zhan)火在為靈山人民帶來災難的(de)同時(shi)也(ye)使這千年文化名勝備受蹂(rou)躪(lin),1947--1949年三年解放戰(zhan)爭(zheng)中,敵我雙(shuang)方在這彈丸(wan)之地(di)投入兵力十幾(ji)萬,幾(ji)番爭(zheng)奪,幾(ji)番廝殺,使靈山所有(you)的(de)廟宇殿堂、自然景觀(guan)毀于一旦,勞動人民智慧結(jie)晶(jing)的(de)古建筑成為一片破磚碎瓦,斷(duan)壁殘墻。
靈(ling)(ling)(ling)山(shan)圣母殿 靈(ling)(ling)(ling)山(shan)圣母殿是(shi)距今為止是(shi)靈(ling)(ling)(ling)山(shan)風景區(qu)建(jian)設早、影(ying)響大(da)、較(jiao)(jiao)為富麗(li)堂皇、吸引(yin)游客較(jiao)(jiao)多的(de)一座廟堂,內供(gong)奉(feng)“靈(ling)(ling)(ling)山(shan)老母”,位(wei)于靈(ling)(ling)(ling)山(shan)西峰(feng)之(zhi)巔。相傳始建(jian)于公元(yuan)前471年(nian),后經唐朝、明朝兩(liang)次大(da)修和擴(kuo)建(jian),成(cheng)為靈(ling)(ling)(ling)山(shan)眾廟堂規(gui)模之(zhi)最。
