黔西(xi)縣(xian)靈博山(shan)象祠(ci)距貴畢(bi)高(gao)等(deng)級公(gong)路素(su)(su)樸鎮出口處僅3公(gong)里(li),距即將(jiang)建成(cheng)通車(che)的息黔高(gao)速(su)素(su)(su)樸出口僅6公(gong)里(li),交通便利。景(jing)區酒店、停車(che)場等(deng)配套基礎設施齊全(quan)。靈博山(shan)象祠(ci)景(jing)區有(you)著奇特的自然景(jing)觀和厚重的文(wen)化底蘊,概括起(qi)來即“一(yi)祠(ci)三(san)館,九(jiu)龍(long)八(ba)景(jing)”。“一(yi)祠(ci)”即象祠(ci);“三(san)館”即水(shui)西(xi)館、陽(yang)明館、養心堂;“九(jiu)龍(long)”即九(jiu)龍(long)山(shan)的九(jiu)條山(shan)脈,名稱依次為麒麟、睚(ya)眥、嘲(chao)風、蒲牢、椒圖、霸下、狴犴(an)、負(fu)屃、貔貅;“八(ba)景(jing)”即九(jiu)龍(long)閣、靈博寺(si)、抗(kang)戰紀念亭、奢(she)香公(gong)主亭、陽(yang)明書院、奢(she)香古驛道、九(jiu)龍(long)湖、牛場大街。
龍(long)脊是(shi)龍(long)頭后面(mian)的(de)山梁,中間高,兩邊低(di),蜿蜒(yan)(yan)盤(pan)旋(xuan),直通新山水(shui)庫,正如(ru)一條剛出水(shui)的(de)蛟(jiao)龍(long)。有詩贊曰:姿蜿蜒(yan)(yan)形(xing)張(zhang)七曲,勢盤(pan)旋(xuan)態(tai)奮九重。喜鱗(lin)甲之櫛比,欣爪(zhua)尾之蒙(meng)葺(qi)。
龍(long)(long)頭(tou)(tou)是靈博山的最高(gao)峰,海拔1299米。正前方為垂直峭(qiao)壁,高(gao)聳突兀,龍(long)(long)頭(tou)(tou)頂(ding)上(shang)最中間有(you)一(yi)位置,冬天從(cong)不積雪(xue),是為"龍(long)(long)穴"或"百會穴"。站在龍(long)(long)頭(tou)(tou)之上(shang),可見“一(yi)龍(long)(long)昂首、八龍(long)(long)俯伏”奇觀。有(you)詩(shi)贊曰:危巖一(yi)拳,桀閣三層。景奪(duo)黔郡(jun),勢(shi)冠(guan)百城(cheng)。
龍鼻(bi)(bi)是(shi)靈博山(shan)最(zui)為(wei)古老、最(zui)具靈氣、也最(zui)為(wei)神秘之處。人(ren)工石壁已有一千多年歷史,兩(liang)只鼻(bi)(bi)孔(kong)直(zhi)(zhi)通山(shan)體,深不可測,秋冬時節,天氣變化,鼻(bi)(bi)孔(kong)便會“吐瑞”,霧氣直(zhi)(zhi)沖云霄(xiao),蔚為(wei)奇觀。有詩贊曰:毓秀鐘靈見九龍,西南初民第一峰;喉嚨吐霧沖霄(xiao)漢,頸(jing)項昂頭遠向東!
龍(long)(long)角(jiao)(jiao)高12米,直(zhi)徑3米,有左(zuo)右兩支,又(you)稱“麟(lin)角(jiao)(jiao)”,相(xiang)傳此山是麒麟(lin)的化(hua)身,“麟(lin)角(jiao)(jiao)山”因此而得名(ming)。龍(long)(long)角(jiao)(jiao)頂端(duan)原建有亭(ting)子,供奉山神,香火旺盛!當地(di)群眾有“摸龍(long)(long)角(jiao)(jiao)、拜麒麟(lin)”之說(shuo),以達到消災(zai)祈福之愿!有詩贊曰:盤踞坤維實壯哉(zai),其間別是洞(dong)天開(kai);亭(ting)亭(ting)石(shi)筍稱龍(long)(long)角(jiao)(jiao),郁郁松蔭(yin)種鶴胎!
在左右(you)兩支龍角(jiao)之下(xia),各有一口水(shui)井,是為龍眼。龍眼水(shui)質清冽甘甜,夏不滿、冬不淺(qian),常年(nian)不竭。有詩贊(zan)曰(yue):手鞠泉瀠滌盡污,潔身恰似到(dao)方壺。龍盤虎(hu)踞千(qian)峰(feng)小(xiao),云(yun)淡風清萬(wan)象舒。
靈(ling)博山(shan),非常有靈(ling)氣,加(jia)之(zhi)地處古驛道的(de)(de)必(bi)經之(zhi)地,所以在(zai)蜀(shu)漢時(shi)就(jiu)選(xuan)址在(zai)這里修建象(xiang)(xiang)祠(ci)(ci)。后(hou)來在(zai)明(ming)(ming)朝(chao)正德年間(jian)貴州宣慰使、彝族土司安(an)貴榮重修象(xiang)(xiang)祠(ci)(ci),請謫(zhe)居修文(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)龍場的(de)(de)王(wang)陽(yang)(yang)明(ming)(ming)作記。王(wang)陽(yang)(yang)明(ming)(ming)從舜(shun)與象(xiang)(xiang)的(de)(de)故事和靈(ling)博山(shan)獨特的(de)(de)自然(ran)景觀中產生頓(dun)悟,使陽(yang)(yang)明(ming)(ming)心學思想(xiang)得到了(le)(le)升華(hua)。便一(yi)氣呵成,寫(xie)下(xia)了(le)(le)不(bu)朽名篇《象(xiang)(xiang)祠(ci)(ci)記》,文(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)中“天(tian)下(xia)無不(bu)可(ke)化(hua)(hua)之(zhi)人也”成為千古名言(yan),明(ming)(ming)確指(zhi)出(chu)了(le)(le)“性(xing)善論”的(de)(de)著名論斷(duan),繼而提出(chu)了(le)(le)“致良知(zhi)” “知(zhi)行合一(yi)”“心即理”等哲學思想(xiang),并成就(jiu)了(le)(le)中國歷史上全(quan)能大儒(ru)——王(wang)陽(yang)(yang)明(ming)(ming),被(bei)稱為“三不(bu)朽”(立(li)(li)德、立(li)(li)功、立(li)(li)言(yan))。除了(le)(le)大儒(ru)王(wang)陽(yang)(yang)明(ming)(ming)在(zai)靈(ling)博山(shan)頓(dun)悟外,清朝(chao)初(chu)期(qi)吳三桂手下(xia)大將付文(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)彪在(zai)靈(ling)博山(shan)看破塵世,放下(xia)屠刀,歸(gui)隱于山(shan)中;民國初(chu)年,富商鄧(deng)紅(hong)安(an)到靈(ling)博山(shan)后(hou),傾其家產在(zai)此修建了(le)(le)金(jin)碧輝煌的(de)(de)廟宇,并在(zai)此出(chu)家,直(zhi)至生命(ming)終(zhong)結。所以靈(ling)博山(shan)還是一(yi)座頓(dun)悟之(zhi)山(shan)!因此,靈(ling)博山(shan)象(xiang)(xiang)祠(ci)(ci)承載(zai)了(le)(le)太多得文(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)化(hua)(hua),是水西文(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)化(hua)(hua)、陽(yang)(yang)明(ming)(ming)文(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)化(hua)(hua)、儒(ru)家文(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)化(hua)(hua)、佛教文(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)化(hua)(hua)、紅(hong)色文(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)化(hua)(hua)、象(xiang)(xiang)祠(ci)(ci)文(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)化(hua)(hua)的(de)(de)共同體(ti)。
