清徐(xu)縣堯(yao)廟(miao)的堯(yao)城雖已失(shi)去昔日風采,但在堯(yao)王殿(dian)西側(ce),明(ming)、清、民國年間又相繼建(jian)造修繕了九蓮洞(dong)、奶奶廟(miao)、觀音(yin)廟(miao)、狐仙廟(miao)、戲臺等建(jian)筑。廟(miao)宇高(gao)低有序(xu),緊(jin)松相宜(yi),形制各異,各院相通,卻又自(zi)成四合院或(huo)三(san)合院格(ge)局,形成包(bao)括古代、近代、現代建(jian)筑地(di)建(jian)筑群。
清(qing)徐縣堯(yao)廟(miao)的堯(yao)城(cheng)中大(da)地(di)(di)建筑是(shi)堯(yao)廟(miao),在北城(cheng)內,坐北向南(nan),相(xiang)傳(chuan)說(shuo)是(shi)在帝堯(yao)地(di)(di)“宮(gong)室”遺址(zhi)上(shang)建造地(di)(di)。現存地(di)(di)是(shi)明正統年(nian)間(jian)(1436年(nian)~1449年(nian))重建地(di)(di)一(yi)座四(si)合(he)院廟(miao)宇(yu),前(qian)有(you)牌樓,側有(you)配(pei)殿(dian)(dian),后有(you)大(da)殿(dian)(dian)。現存大(da)殿(dian)(dian)叫堯(yao)王殿(dian)(dian),是(shi)重檐(yan)歇(xie)山(shan)頂建筑,通寬五(wu)間(jian),邊長14米(mi),高12米(mi),四(si)周圍廊。殿(dian)(dian)內無柱,無天花板,無梁架(jia)(jia)結構,都以檐(yan)頂斗拱向里伸出,重疊五(wu)層(ceng)(ceng),形(xing)成(cheng)龐大(da)地(di)(di)木構斗拱式(shi)藻井,既可以將上(shang)層(ceng)(ceng)地(di)(di)梁架(jia)(jia)隱蔽起來,又可以作為神像地(di)(di)寶(bao)蓋,設計十分巧妙,極富裝飾趣味,在古(gu)建筑上(shang)有(you)重大(da)價(jia)值,故(gu)稱(cheng)“無梁殿(dian)(dian)”。據說(shuo),慈禧太后與光(guang)緒帝西逃時,在此(ci)駐蹕(bi),還到帝堯(yao)像前(qian)頂禮膜拜(bai),留下許多軼(yi)聞趣事(shi)。
清徐(xu)縣堯(yao)廟(miao)位(wei)于太原市(shi)清徐(xu)縣東(dong)南(nan)16公里處的堯(yao)城村。堯(yao)城村是堯(yao)帝早(zao)立國建(jian)都的地方(fang),后因(yin)水患遷都至(zhi)(zhi)平陽(臨汾)。堯(yao)廟(miao)南(nan)向(xiang),呈方(fang)形布局(ju),頂(ding)部(bu)由(you)木構(gou)藻井筑(zhu)砌,無梁(liang)無架,也稱無梁(liang)殿。整座建(jian)筑(zhu)構(gou)思精巧,匠心獨運。該(gai)廟(miao)始(shi)建(jian)無考(kao),元(yuan)至(zhi)(zhi)正年(nian)間(jian)重建(jian),明正統年(nian)間(jian)重修。
