清(qing)徐縣堯(yao)廟(miao)的(de)堯(yao)城雖已失去昔日(ri)風(feng)采,但在(zai)堯(yao)王殿(dian)西側,明、清(qing)、民國年(nian)間又(you)相繼建(jian)造修繕了九蓮(lian)洞、奶(nai)(nai)奶(nai)(nai)廟(miao)、觀音(yin)廟(miao)、狐仙廟(miao)、戲臺等建(jian)筑(zhu)(zhu)。廟(miao)宇高(gao)低有序,緊松相宜,形制(zhi)各(ge)異,各(ge)院(yuan)相通(tong),卻(que)又(you)自成四合院(yuan)或三合院(yuan)格局,形成包括(kuo)古(gu)代、近代、現代建(jian)筑(zhu)(zhu)地建(jian)筑(zhu)(zhu)群。
清徐縣(xian)堯廟的堯城中大(da)地(di)建(jian)筑(zhu)是(shi)堯廟,在(zai)北城內(nei)(nei),坐北向(xiang)南,相傳(chuan)說是(shi)在(zai)帝堯地(di)“宮(gong)室(shi)”遺址(zhi)上建(jian)造(zao)地(di)。現存地(di)是(shi)明(ming)正(zheng)統年間(1436年~1449年)重(zhong)(zhong)建(jian)地(di)一座四合院廟宇,前有牌樓,側有配殿(dian),后有大(da)殿(dian)。現存大(da)殿(dian)叫堯王(wang)殿(dian),是(shi)重(zhong)(zhong)檐(yan)歇山頂(ding)建(jian)筑(zhu),通寬五間,邊長14米(mi),高(gao)12米(mi),四周圍廊(lang)。殿(dian)內(nei)(nei)無(wu)(wu)(wu)柱,無(wu)(wu)(wu)天花板(ban),無(wu)(wu)(wu)梁(liang)架結構,都(dou)以檐(yan)頂(ding)斗拱(gong)向(xiang)里伸出(chu),重(zhong)(zhong)疊五層,形成龐大(da)地(di)木構斗拱(gong)式(shi)藻井,既可以將上層地(di)梁(liang)架隱(yin)蔽起(qi)來,又可以作(zuo)為神像地(di)寶(bao)蓋(gai),設計十分(fen)巧妙,極富(fu)裝飾趣味,在(zai)古建(jian)筑(zhu)上有重(zhong)(zhong)大(da)價值(zhi),故稱“無(wu)(wu)(wu)梁(liang)殿(dian)”。據說,慈禧太后與光緒(xu)帝西逃時,在(zai)此(ci)駐蹕,還(huan)到帝堯像前頂(ding)禮膜拜,留下許多軼聞(wen)趣事。
