九龍潭自然風景(jing)(jing)區(qu)位于(yu)興隆縣(xian)城南13公里(li)處(chu),它位于(yu)京、津、唐、承(cheng)四市(shi)的結合部(bu),距(ju)北京150公里(li),承(cheng)德130公里(li)。景(jing)(jing)區(qu)分為一奇、三峽(xia)、九潭、八(ba)大景(jing)(jing)觀,五(wu)十多個景(jing)(jing)點。
比較著(zhu)名的太極(ji)八卦井深8.6米(mi),無水,堪稱九(jiu)龍一奇。嚴冬(dong),井內(nei)酷熱如蒸;炎夏(xia),井內(nei)凝(ning)寒(han)結冰(bing)。此(ci)井融陰陽之(zhi)變(bian),容水火之(zhi)功,同冰(bing)碳(tan)之(zhi)異,冬(dong)則(ze)生暖,夏(xia)則(ze)凝(ning)寒(han),地脈(mo)靈泉,神妙莫(mo)測,故稱太極(ji)八卦井。
2020年2月,為表達對廣大醫務工作者(zhe)的敬意(yi),景區(qu)將在(zai)疫情結束并恢復(fu)經(jing)營后向(xiang)醫務人(ren)員優惠開放。
羚(ling)(ling)(ling)羊峽(xia)谷(gu)區,懸崖(ya)峭壁(bi)勢(shi)如刀(dao)劈斧(fu)(fu)(fu)削,谷(gu)內奇峰(feng)(feng)林立(li),高聳入(ru)云,怪石橫生(sheng),造(zao)型奇特,有(you)鬼斧(fu)(fu)(fu)神(shen)工之(zhi)妙。如果你細心觀察不難發現,兩邊的山(shan)崖(ya)似乎能合在(zai)一起,仰首望天,只(zhi)有(you)一線寬。從地質(zhi)構造(zao)上說(shuo),這是(shi)一億四千萬(wan)年前(qian)燕山(shan)造(zao)山(shan)運(yun)動形成(cheng)的一道大(da)裂谷(gu),故爾如刀(dao)劈斧(fu)(fu)(fu)削。傳(chuan)說(shuo)龍王(wang)開潭時,將(jiang)龍鱗化(hua)為萬(wan)只(zhi)羚(ling)(ling)(ling)羊,日(ri)夜在(zai)龍潭險崖(ya)上巡守(shou),它們(men)居住在(zai)這條大(da)峽(xia)谷(gu)中(zhong)繁(fan)衍生(sheng)息(xi),因(yin)此人稱“龍羚(ling)(ling)(ling)谷(gu)”也叫“羚(ling)(ling)(ling)羊大(da)峽(xia)谷(gu)”。。羚(ling)(ling)(ling)羊峽(xia)谷(gu)主(zhu)要(yao)景點(dian)有(you)九(jiu)個:雙獅崖(ya)、小石林、臥(wo)虎(hu)峰(feng)(feng)、拇指(zhi)峰(feng)(feng)、仙翁(weng)棋臺(tai)、通(tong)天河瀑(pu)布、黃鷹晾翅崖(ya)、神(shen)龜戲水和龍門。
前面(mian)這(zhe)塊巨石(shi)有兩丈(zhang)見(jian)方(fang),方(fang)方(fang)正正厚(hou)(hou)厚(hou)(hou)實(shi)實(shi),真是(shi)萬年(nian)(nian)盤石(shi)。這(zhe)塊巨石(shi)叫“仙(xian)(xian)翁(weng)棋臺(tai)(tai)(tai)”,最早(zao)是(shi)“龍王點將臺(tai)(tai)(tai)”。相傳,在龍王開辟(pi)九龍潭時,每天在此(ci)巨石(shi)上(shang)分兵(bing)點將,龍潭開辟(pi)完畢,此(ci)臺(tai)(tai)(tai)閑(xian)置無(wu)用。由(you)于臺(tai)(tai)(tai)的(de)周(zhou)圍環境清新幽靜,引來許多神(shen)仙(xian)(xian)在此(ci)下(xia)(xia)棋,因此(ci)人(ren)(ren)(ren)們又(you)稱它(ta)為“仙(xian)(xian)翁(weng)棋臺(tai)(tai)(tai)”。傳說(shuo)古時有一(yi)位(wei)青年(nian)(nian)到(dao)(dao)山(shan)(shan)里砍(kan)柴,看見(jian)兩位(wei)鶴(he)發童顏(yan)的(de)老(lao)人(ren)(ren)(ren)在此(ci)下(xia)(xia)棋,便看了(le)一(yi)會兒。忽覺腹中饑餓,就拾起地(di)上(shang)仙(xian)(xian)人(ren)(ren)(ren)吃剩(sheng)下(xia)(xia)的(de)幾枚桃核充(chong)饑。直(zhi)到(dao)(dao)午后,日已(yi)西(xi)沉,仙(xian)(xian)人(ren)(ren)(ren)下(xia)(xia)完棋,青年(nian)(nian)才出山(shan)(shan)。到(dao)(dao)了(le)村(cun)(cun)里,村(cun)(cun)里的(de)人(ren)(ren)(ren)他(ta)(ta)一(yi)個也不認識了(le)。問自(zi)家門(men)前一(yi)位(wei)白發老(lao)人(ren)(ren)(ren),老(lao)人(ren)(ren)(ren)說(shuo)他(ta)(ta)有一(yi)位(wei)老(lao)祖爺(ye)(ye)爺(ye)(ye)入(ru)山(shan)(shan)砍(kan)柴至今未歸。青年(nian)(nian)方(fang)知自(zi)己遇到(dao)(dao)了(le)仙(xian)(xian)人(ren)(ren)(ren)。真是(shi)“山(shan)(shan)中方(fang)一(yi)日,世上(shang)已(yi)千年(nian)(nian)”。青年(nian)(nian)復又(you)入(ru)山(shan)(shan)修道,終于修煉(lian)成(cheng)仙(xian)(xian)。到(dao)(dao)“仙(xian)(xian)翁(weng)棋臺(tai)(tai)(tai)”上(shang)走(zou)一(yi)走(zou),有道是(shi)“仙(xian)(xian)翁(weng)棋臺(tai)(tai)(tai)走(zou)一(yi)走(zou),人(ren)(ren)(ren)能活(huo)到(dao)(dao)九十九”。
通(tong)天(tian)(tian)洞河瀑(pu)布(bu)(bu)自下而望,瀑(pu)口(kou)形如古(gu)井,橫紋層(ceng)巖,狀似馬蹄(ti);上有藍天(tian)(tian),水(shui)(shui)來(lai)無源;飛(fei)瀑(pu)下注(zhu),甕(weng)聲(sheng)(sheng)甕(weng)氣;仿佛水(shui)(shui)從天(tian)(tian)上來(lai),與(yu)井壁形成共鳴,水(shui)(shui)聲(sheng)(sheng)嘩(hua)(hua)嘩(hua)(hua),悅耳動聽,婉如編(bian)鐘古(gu)罄。傳說(shuo)通(tong)天(tian)(tian)河瀑(pu)布(bu)(bu)是九(jiu)個(ge)龍(long)子外(wai)出必經之路(lu),九(jiu)龍(long)必須從此(ci)逆流而上,騰空直上云霄間,然后才能(neng)遨游太空,因(yin)此(ci)這(zhe)條瀑(pu)布(bu)(bu)就(jiu)叫(jiao)通(tong)天(tian)(tian)河瀑(pu)布(bu)(bu),其水(shui)(shui)來(lai)無源去無跡(ji)。
崖呈(cheng)黃(huang)色,中間(jian)是(shi)黃(huang)鷹的頭(tou)和腹,兩邊(bian)是(shi)展(zhan)開的雙翅(chi),恰似一只巨大的黃(huang)鷹,展(zhan)開垂(chui)天之(zhi)翼,迎(ying)著朝陽,沐著雨露,晾曬著雙翅(chi)。給人以(yi)“昆鵬展(zhan)翅(chi)九萬里”的威武與雄壯感。
山如龜殼,坡度平緩,那條黑乎乎的(de)長圓(yuan)巨石形似龜頭(tou)伸向河中,整(zheng)體看(kan)(kan)來猶(you)如神龜戲(xi)水;右邊山崖上還有個洞(dong),就是“龜相(xiang)洞(dong)”。相(xiang)傳,龍(long)王(wang)在開潭(tan)(tan)(tan)后(hou)東行(xing),臨行(xing)前囑咐誠實的(de)龜丞相(xiang)在這里細心記(ji)錄(lu)每一個進入龍(long)門(men)者的(de)行(xing)為(wei),守(shou)衛龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)。老(lao)(lao)龜丞相(xiang)為(wei)了提醒進入龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)峽谷的(de)人,便施(shi)法術,把(ba)這座山化為(wei)背殼,把(ba)那塊巨石化為(wei)自己的(de)頭(tou)形,監(jian)視行(xing)人,自己卻隱(yin)身于右面的(de)洞(dong)中,暗自記(ji)錄(lu)每一個過往行(xing)者。請看(kan)(kan)老(lao)(lao)龜丞相(xiang)幾萬(wan)年來仍在這里,為(wei)看(kan)(kan)守(shou)九龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)盡(jin)職盡(jin)責。
龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men),它是龍(long)(long)(long)潭之門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men),也是“羚羊峽(xia)(xia)(xia)谷(gu)”與“九龍(long)(long)(long)潭峽(xia)(xia)(xia)谷(gu)”的分界,過了龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)就是“九龍(long)(long)(long)潭峽(xia)(xia)(xia)谷(gu)”和“老君洞(dong)峽(xia)(xia)(xia)谷(gu)”了,正所謂(wei)“龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)”分三峽(xia)(xia)(xia)。傳說鯉魚躍(yue)上龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)就會變為龍(long)(long)(long),故有“魚躍(yue)龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)”的成語。正因(yin)為龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)難躍(yue),才險峻如(ru)刀劈斧削。龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)長年半(ban)開(kai)(kai)半(ban)閉,使行人至此有“山重水復疑無路”之感(gan)。龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)上有雞(ji)冠石,似在提醒(xing)守(shou)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)衛士,雞(ji)鳴天(tian)亮才可開(kai)(kai)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)放行。古(gu)時(shi)人們常來(lai)這(zhe)時(shi)觀察(cha)龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)來(lai)預(yu)測一(yi)年天(tian)氣(qi)變化,留(liu)下民諺:“立(li)春(chun)頭(tou)道(dao)龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)霧(wu),春(chun)種雨(yu)水足;立(li)夏頭(tou)道(dao)龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)干,一(yi)夏天(tian)盡旱;立(li)秋頭(tou)道(dao)龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)風,今秋五谷(gu)豐;立(li)冬頭(tou)道(dao)龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)(men)雪(xue),明(ming)年好年月。”
所謂“九(jiu)(jiu)龍大(da)峽谷(gu)(gu)”乃因谷(gu)(gu)中有(you)九(jiu)(jiu)龍潭(tan)而得(de)名,谷(gu)(gu)內有(you)睚眥潭(tan)、囚牛潭(tan)、蒲牢潭(tan)、嘲風潭(tan)、狻(suan)猊潭(tan)、霸下潭(tan)、狴犴潭(tan)、赑(bì)屃(xi)(xì)潭(tan)、鴟(chi)吻潭(tan)九(jiu)(jiu)道龍潭(tan),外(wai)加神猿(yuan)通天(tian)壁、龍女瑤(yao)、將軍峰、水(shui)漫(man)平(ping)石(shi)川、獸頭峰等景點(dian)。
靠近頭道龍(long)潭,原來(lai)還有座龍(long)王廟,古時香(xiang)火很盛,四季不斷。尤其到了大旱之年,不算大的(de)龍(long)王廟香(xiang)煙繚繞(rao),一派神(shen)秘仙氣。求(qiu)雨者排成隊,有時長達數里之遙。據考證(zheng),這(zhe)座龍(long)王廟最晚(wan)也是明代建筑,它(ta)依(yi)山傍水,廟中供奉的(de)主神(shen)就是開辟(pi)九(jiu)龍(long)潭的(de)“老龍(long)王”。
如(ru)今已見不到(dao)(dao)古時(shi)(shi)人們求雨(yu)(yu)的熱(re)鬧場面了,而古時(shi)(shi)由于(yu)人們迷信,一(yi)到(dao)(dao)干旱少雨(yu)(yu)季節(jie),方圓百里的人全(quan)(quan)(quan)要(yao)(yao)到(dao)(dao)九(jiu)龍(long)潭(tan)向龍(long)王求雨(yu)(yu)。求雨(yu)(yu)的隊伍(wu)里不能有女(nv)人,而男人們全(quan)(quan)(quan)要(yao)(yao)赤背排成長(chang)隊,三步(bu)一(yi)拜(bai),五步(bu)一(yi)叩(kou),將(jiang)全(quan)(quan)(quan)羊全(quan)(quan)(quan)豬等祭品(pin)抬至(zhi)潭(tan)前,經過幾(ji)(ji)天祭拜(bai),把祭品(pin)全(quan)(quan)(quan)部沉于(yu)潭(tan)中,據說(shuo)如(ru)果潭(tan)上冒起(qi)白氣,天就會(hui)下雨(yu)(yu)了。趕(gan)上大旱之年(nian)有時(shi)(shi)一(yi)鬧就是(shi)幾(ji)(ji)十天,這種鬧劇使九(jiu)龍(long)潭(tan)至(zhi)今仍(reng)然充(chong)滿神秘色(se)彩。
在(zai)龍(long)王廟求雨所祭之潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)為(wei)第(di)一潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan),潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)名(ming)睚眥(zi)。它(ta)是(shi)龍(long)王第(di)二子,由于(yu)生性(xing)好斗,且好殺(sha)戮,恩怨(yuan)(yuan)分(fen)明(ming)(ming),睚眥(zi)必報,龍(long)王便(bian)把它(ta)的潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)府開(kai)在(zai)第(di)一位,以(yi)(yi)守衛龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)門戶。正因(yin)如此,睚眥(zi)常被(bei)人們刻在(zai)刀劍柄上為(wei)標志(zhi),以(yi)(yi)增(zeng)加殺(sha)氣(qi)。傳說睚眥(zi)恩怨(yuan)(yuan)分(fen)明(ming)(ming),有求必應,但卻(que)得(de)(de)罪不(bu)(bu)得(de)(de)。據傳,龍(long)窩(wo)村有幾個村民(min)用炸藥在(zai)睚眥(zi)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)炸魚,結果走在(zai)路上就下(xia)起暴雨,冰雹齊(qi)下(xia),打來的魚全跑光,村里遭了雹災(zai),顆粒無收。這也許是(shi)巧(qiao)合,不(bu)(bu)過自從那(nei)時起,睚眥(zi)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)便(bian)石封沙鎖,一閉(bi)至今,不(bu)(bu)再開(kai)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)。傳說睚眥(zi)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)水有避鬼魅、祛邪祟的作用,若不(bu)(bu)是(shi)如今趕上閉(bi)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan),可(ke)取水洗臉或(huo)食用,以(yi)(yi)避邪祟。
第二道龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)叫“囚牛(niu)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)”,潭(tan)(tan)(tan)底(di)為白巖,潭(tan)(tan)(tan)形(xing)如臥鐘,瀑布如鐘鈕。潭(tan)(tan)(tan)水(shui)(shui)清(qing)澈見底(di),游魚可(ke)(ke)見。千年萬(wan)年水(shui)(shui)石相擊,使潭(tan)(tan)(tan)上(shang)小(xiao)溪形(xing)如水(shui)(shui)渠,齊如刀劈(pi)斧削,下注(zhu)龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan),嘩嘩作(zuo)響(xiang)。傳(chuan)說龍(long)(long)(long)生九子各有所(suo)好,“囚牛(niu)”是龍(long)(long)(long)王長子,性喜音(yin)樂,終日操琴,故龍(long)(long)(long)王把它安排在遠(yuan)離(li)弟兄之處,既可(ke)(ke)守衛龍(long)(long)(long)門,又(you)可(ke)(ke)遠(yuan)避嫌怨。由于“囚牛(niu)”愛(ai)好音(yin)樂,常被人(ren)刻在胡琴上(shang)作(zuo)為標志。
這(zhe)道(dao)龍(long)潭的瀑(pu)布多(duo)有氣勢,這(zhe)是第三潭,名叫“蒲牢潭”,是龍(long)王的第三子,一道(dao)飛瀑(pu)切開懸崖(ya),形成高丈,寬不足2米的缺口(kou),瀑(pu)流飛瀉(xie),下(xia)注清潭,飛花(hua)碎玉,水聲轟鳴(ming)。潭聲如鐘馨齊鳴(ming),八(ba)音(yin)齊奏。潭形如扇面,潭闊水深,汪汪一碧(bi),但仍(reng)清澈見底,游魚細(xi)石直視無礙(ai)。蒲牢好(hao)鳴(ming),日出(chu)即(ji)鳴(ming),月出(chu)亦吟(yin),如一位男中音(yin)歌者,所以(yi)每(mei)當(dang)人(ren)們夜深人(ren)靜時來(lai)到“蒲牢潭”前,便可聽(ting)到它(ta)如八(ba)音(yin)齊奏的悅耳聲音(yin)。由于“蒲牢”好(hao)鳴(ming),常被(bei)人(ren)們刻在鐘鈕(niu)上以(yi)為標志。
在莆牢潭的左面另有(you)一道峽(xia)谷,似較寬闊(kuo),綠松滿坡(po),清流遠來,飛(fei)(fei)落瑤(yao)池,與浦牢之水交匯(hui)流向第二潭――囚(qiu)牛(niu)潭,人(ren)稱“龍(long)女瑤(yao)”。它和各(ge)位(wei)兄(xiong)長既山水不斷,親緣相連(lian),又獨(du)谷秀(xiu)(xiu)瑤(yao),景色(se)雋(jun)秀(xiu)(xiu),雖(sui)然龍(long)女侍奉觀音菩薩在南海,但瑤(yao)瀑依然整理得清潔雅(ya)致,另有(you)幽雅(ya)情趣,看瀑流順峽(xia)谷飛(fei)(fei)瀉而下,被扯成絲絲縷縷,紛(fen)披如(ru)簾,水如(ru)柔情。傳說龍(long)女掌(zhang)管(guan)龍(long)王珠(zhu)藏(zang),龍(long)女喜(xi)吃燒(shao)燕,梁武帝(di)曾以燒(shao)燕獻龍(long)女,龍(long)女食之大(da)喜(xi),以大(da)珠(zhu)三、小珠(zhu)七、雜珠(zhu)一石來報(bao)答梁武帝(di)。
百(bai)丈(zhang)黃(huang)崖,壁立千仞,高聳入云,勢如斧劈(pi),名神猿(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)通天(tian)壁,崖上(shang)為(wei)猿(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)猴(hou)(hou)常居之地,別看這(zhe)百(bai)丈(zhang)黃(huang)崖人無法爬(pa)上(shang),猿(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)猴(hou)(hou)卻(que)可如飛攀(pan)援而上(shang)。幾年前,有一村民用獵(lie)槍打傷一只獼猴(hou)(hou),眾獼猴(hou)(hou)見其未(wei)死,飛速爬(pa)下(xia),抬起傷者飛速爬(pa)上(shang)絕壁,村民追(zhui)之不及,只好任其逃(tao)掉。崖頂也有獼猴(hou)(hou)居住,不過由于有游人,不敢(gan)下(xia)來玩耍。由于這(zhe)面山崖只有猿(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)猴(hou)(hou)能上(shang),所(suo)以(yi)稱這(zhe)面崖壁為(wei)“神猿(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)通天(tian)壁”。
順著(zhu)龍女瑤往(wang)上(shang)方遠看,那座險峰形如(ru)將(jiang)軍頭盔,上(shang)有一顆松樹(shu)又似盔上(shang)簪(zan)纓,高大威(wei)武(wu),氣度非凡,我們稱它(ta)為將(jiang)軍峰,似一位(wei)天神下凡,化為將(jiang)軍,守(shou)衛著(zhu)這九(jiu)龍大峽谷。
順鐵(tie)梯棧道上行,可(ke)(ke)以(yi)(yi)欣賞到最純凈的嘲風(feng)(feng)(feng)潭(tan)(tan),嘲風(feng)(feng)(feng)是(shi)(shi)龍(long)王的第四子。嘲風(feng)(feng)(feng)潭(tan)(tan)是(shi)(shi)潭(tan)(tan)上之(zhi)潭(tan)(tan),峽(xia)中之(zhi)潭(tan)(tan),碧(bi)水(shui)切開崖壁,形(xing)(xing)如人(ren)工所鑿之(zhi)石渠,下(xia)注嘲風(feng)(feng)(feng),夾潭(tan)(tan)石峽(xia)高可(ke)(ke)幾十丈(zhang),潭(tan)(tan)形(xing)(xing)似(si)大甕,上有入口(kou)(kou),下(xia)有出口(kou)(kou),又以(yi)(yi)酒胡蘆。仰視天空僅如井口(kou)(kou),俯視潭(tan)(tan)面,碧(bi)水(shui)清(qing)清(qing)如水(shui)晶,山光(guang)云影倒映如畫。潭(tan)(tan)底(di)系(xi)整個白石,沙礫皆無(wu),純凈無(wu)比,游魚往來,引人(ren)艷羨。龍(long)王根據嘲風(feng)(feng)(feng)好險(xian)(xian)的性(xing)格,才給它安排了這(zhe)處奇絕險(xian)(xian)怪的潭(tan)(tan)府(fu)。正因嘲風(feng)(feng)(feng)好險(xian)(xian),常被人(ren)們把其形(xing)(xing)象刻在(zai)大殿的屋角上,以(yi)(yi)鎮殿脊。嘲風(feng)(feng)(feng)潭(tan)(tan)據傳(chuan)說是(shi)(shi)很有靈驗(yan)的龍(long)潭(tan)(tan),村民(min)常來這(zhe)里求雨,有求必(bi)應。
沿(yan)鐵梯棧(zhan)道而上到(dao)兩山之間的過橋上,我(wo)們(men)(men)可以(yi)游賞到(dao)第五潭(tan),名叫狁猊潭(tan)。是一(yi)個長形狹窄的小潭(tan),水清潭(tan)靜(jing),微波不(bu)起(qi),平展如鏡(jing),寧靜(jing)無聲。狁猊喜靜(jing)坐,所以(yi)常(chang)被人們(men)(men)刻在佛座上,以(yi)為(wei)標志。
霸下(xia)(xia)潭上口半圓形,如(ru)(ru)門緊閉,潭形如(ru)(ru)鏡(jing),潭面較闊,左靠(kao)懸崖,右近絕(jue)壁,萬重大山壓下(xia)(xia),千道巨嶺相(xiang)連。霸下(xia)(xia)是(shi)龍王的(de)第六子,性喜負重,龍王就把(ba)它的(de)潭府開在通天入云(yun)的(de)懸崖絕(jue)壁下(xia)(xia),潺(chan)潺(chan)流(liu)水匯其下(xia)(xia),萬千巨峰壓其上,“霸下(xia)(xia)”居(ju)此安居(ju)樂業(ye)。由于“霸下(xia)(xia)”好負重,形似巨龜(gui),常被人(ren)們(men)刻在碑座上,但常又被不識者(zhe)誤認為龜(gui)馱石碑。
沿峽谷(gu)艱難前行(xing),兩岸懸崖(ya)奇(qi)險(xian)(xian)無比,崖(ya)上(shang)原始灌木叢生。約行(xing)一二(er)里,可見夾(jia)岸崖(ya)下一道碧潭(tan),潭(tan)平如鏡,潭(tan)底為(wei)整潔如玉的(de)一塊白石,平坦(tan)如砥,水清見底,兩峽夾(jia)峙,險(xian)(xian)峻異(yi)常(chang)(chang)。狴(bi)犴是(shi)龍王第七(qi)子(zi),辦事公正,喜理訟案(an)。民(min)間流(liu)傳諺語:“訟事到(dao)潭(tan)前,公道找狴(bi)犴;是(shi)非何用問,潭(tan)影自分(fen)辨。”因此,狴(bi)犴常(chang)(chang)被(bei)人們刻在監獄門上(shang),形狀(zhuang)似虎,象(xiang)征公正廉明。
繞過僅一尺寬(kuan)的(de)崖路,前面(mian)是第八道(dao)龍潭(tan)(tan)“赑bì屃xì潭(tan)(tan)”。赑屃是龍王八子,喜歡舞(wu)文弄墨,所以(yi)龍王開潭(tan)(tan)時(shi),使其(qi)潭(tan)(tan)形如巨硯,潭(tan)(tan)邊(bian)巖石(shi)多紋。群峰(feng)夾峙(zhi),上(shang)(shang)似懸(xuan)鐘覆蓋,下(xia)似殘月半圓,瀑流瀉(xie)入,山鳴谷(gu)應(ying),空谷(gu)傳(chuan)響,別有(you)幽趣。潭(tan)(tan)水(shui)清(qing)清(qing),碧如翡(fei)翠,給(gei)人以(yi)晶瑩如女兒綠之(zhi)感。相傳(chuan)此作此潭(tan)(tan)水(shui)沐浴,一定能寫出世間錦繡文章,天(tian)下(xia)絕妙詩(shi)賦(fu)。因此,赑bì屃xì常被(bei)人刻在(zai)石(shi)碑(bei)頂或邊(bian)緣上(shang)(shang),作為裝飾花(hua)紋。
第九(jiu)道龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan),也是最(zui)后(hou)一道龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)──鴟吻(wen)潭(tan)(tan),必須攀崖(ya)牽藤,游蕩而(er)過。由于(yu)龍(long)(long)(long)王第九(jiu)子“鴟吻(wen)”善吞好(hao)水(shui)(shui),龍(long)(long)(long)王就把它安排在最(zui)后(hou),所有九(jiu)潭(tan)(tan)之水(shui)(shui)均由其腹(fu)中包藏,由其口中吞吐。大有“腹(fu)盛(sheng)龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)千鐘(zhong)水(shui)(shui),口吞峽谷萬重山”之勢。由于(yu)鴟吻(wen)好(hao)水(shui)(shui),常被人們刻在橋(qiao)梁上(shang),作為(wei)鎮水(shui)(shui)獸。飛(fei)瀑入潭(tan)(tan),山光(guang)水(shui)(shui)光(guang),樹影云影,詩(shi)情畫意,天籟悠(you)悠(you)。
九龍(long)(long)潭大峽(xia)谷(gu)的最(zui)后(hou)(hou)一(yi)景是(shi)“龍(long)(long)水源瀑(pu)布”。位于九龍(long)(long)峽(xia)谷(gu)的最(zui)后(hou)(hou)部。這(zhe)(zhe)里(li)山(shan)陡(dou)林密,四(si)季(ji)風光(guang)各異。一(yi)億四(si)千萬年(nian)(nian)前燕山(shan)造山(shan)運動,使這(zhe)(zhe)里(li)有一(yi)股地下(xia)(xia)(xia)巖(yan)隙水噴薄(bo)而出,萬古不竭的泉水從山(shan)崖(ya)上落下(xia)(xia)(xia),飛(fei)(fei)花碎玉,晶(jing)瑩多(duo)芒,宛如(ru)楊花柳絮,飄飄蕩蕩,生機勃(bo)勃(bo)。飛(fei)(fei)瀑(pu)入潭,回清(qing)倒影(ying),良多(duo)趣味。相(xiang)傳這(zhe)(zhe)瀑(pu)布是(shi)在龍(long)(long)王開辟九龍(long)(long)潭時,怕有一(yi)天潭水會干,便長年(nian)(nian)引來四(si)海之水,水來龍(long)(long)潭后(hou)(hou),眾生全求之于它,龍(long)(long)王又愁如(ru)何(he)分配,思考再三,最(zui)后(hou)(hou)決定,把水灑(sa)在千山(shan)萬谷(gu)之中。除去眾生所需,余下(xia)(xia)(xia)的匯流于龍(long)(long)水源。為一(yi)見之下(xia)(xia)(xia)可(ke)知水量,又開辟了(le)“龍(long)(long)水源瀑(pu)布”。“飛(fei)(fei)瀑(pu)之下(xia)(xia)(xia),必有深潭”,因(yin)此,九道龍(long)(long)潭長年(nian)(nian)水量充足,如(ru)九星聯珠,蔚(yu)為古今奇(qi)觀。
這口(kou)(kou)井(jing)(jing)就是(shi)天下奇(qi)觀(guan)──太(tai)極八卦(gua)井(jing)(jing)。井(jing)(jing)深8米(mi),是(shi)一(yi)口(kou)(kou)枯井(jing)(jing)。這口(kou)(kou)井(jing)(jing)的神(shen)(shen)奇(qi)之處不在水(shui),而在于它的神(shen)(shen)奇(qi)變化(hua)。每當冬季到來的時候,井(jing)(jing)內溫熱如(ru)夏,時有騰(teng)騰(teng)白氣自井(jing)(jing)口(kou)(kou)冒出。近觀(guan)則(ze)(ze)溫潤撲面,暖人心房;遠看(kan)則(ze)(ze)云霧(wu)氤氳,配以(yi)古樸農戶(hu),游(you)人至(zhi)此(ci),如(ru)至(zhi)仙境。時至(zhi)炎夏,井(jing)(jing)內凝寒(han)結冰(bing),凜凜寒(han)風(feng)從井(jing)(jing)中吹出,滿院(yuan)生涼。近前(qian)則(ze)(ze)清冽(lie)襲人,砭(bian)人肌(ji)骨;遠觀(guan)則(ze)(ze)綠峰翠嶺環抱,山居(ju)古樸,幽(you)思曠(kuang)渺。自古陰陽不兩立(li),水(shui)火(huo)不相(xiang)容,冰(bing)炭不同爐,可(ke)是(shi)這口(kou)(kou)太(tai)極八卦(gua)井(jing)(jing)則(ze)(ze)融陰陽之氣,糅水(shui)火(huo)之功(gong),同冰(bing)炭之用,冬則(ze)(ze)生暖,夏則(ze)(ze)凝寒(han);地脈(mo)靈泉,神(shen)(shen)異如(ru)斯,自古稀見。
關于(yu)太極(ji)八卦(gua)(gua)井(jing)(jing),還有個神秘的(de)傳說(shuo)。當年(nian)華夏(xia)第一(yi)(yi)條祖龍居于(yu)九龍潭外龍窩(wo)時,兒女眾多,高朋滿座(zuo)(zuo),經常龍子(zi)龍孫聚會(hui),時時神仙(xian)來(lai)訪(fang),晏會(hui)常開,山(shan)(shan)珍海(hai)(hai)味常備不(bu)(bu)時之需。可是冬(dong)天(tian)寒(han)(han)冷(leng)食物變硬(ying),夏(xia)天(tian)炎(yan)熱(re),食物易腐(fu)。這(zhe)(zhe)時太上(shang)老君剛剛在九龍潭老君洞內(nei)修成(cheng)正果,為了報答龍王(wang)(wang)(wang)給他找的(de)修煉靜地,于(yu)是便(bian)將開宗創派之寶(bao)太極(ji)八卦(gua)(gua)圖畫了副本,贈與(yu)龍王(wang)(wang)(wang)。龍王(wang)(wang)(wang)掘開地脈靈泉,把(ba)太極(ji)八卦(gua)(gua)圖埋(mai)下,開創了一(yi)(yi)座(zuo)(zuo)儲藏山(shan)(shan)珍海(hai)(hai)味的(de)寶(bao)庫(ku)。太極(ji)八卦(gua)(gua)圖有包(bao)羅萬象顛倒(dao)陰陽之功(gong),這(zhe)(zhe)座(zuo)(zuo)寶(bao)庫(ku)冬(dong)天(tian)變暖,夏(xia)天(tian)生涼(liang)。一(yi)(yi)年(nian)四(si)季(ji),龍王(wang)(wang)(wang)都能吃到(dao)鮮嫩的(de)山(shan)(shan)珍海(hai)(hai)味了。后來(lai),大海(hai)(hai)東移,龍王(wang)(wang)(wang)在臨行前用法術封存了這(zhe)(zhe)座(zuo)(zuo)寶(bao)庫(ku),只(zhi)留下一(yi)(yi)個通氣(qi)孔。物換星移,滄海(hai)(hai)桑田,這(zhe)(zhe)通氣(qi)孔被村民挖(wa)井(jing)(jing)時偶然找到(dao),于(yu)是便(bian)成(cheng)今天(tian)的(de)天(tian)下一(yi)(yi)大奇(qi)觀──太極(ji)八卦(gua)(gua)井(jing)(jing)。夏(xia)季(ji),如果你(ni)把(ba)一(yi)(yi)桶水放入井(jing)(jing)中(zhong),一(yi)(yi)夜之間(jian)會(hui)結(jie)成(cheng)寒(han)(han)冰;冬(dong)季(ji),你(ni)把(ba)一(yi)(yi)塊冰放入井(jing)(jing)中(zhong),它會(hui)融(rong)化成(cheng)水。以至這(zhe)(zhe)位農民靠近井(jing)(jing)的(de)這(zhe)(zhe)間(jian)屋子(zi)都溫暖如春,即使穿(chuan)短褲下到(dao)井(jing)(jing)內(nei)也不(bu)(bu)覺寒(han)(han)冷(leng)。不(bu)(bu)信請朋友們(men)提出井(jing)(jing)中(zhong)的(de)水桶看一(yi)(yi)看,不(bu)(bu)看不(bu)(bu)知道,一(yi)(yi)看真奇(qi)妙。
這(zhe)九(jiu)曲十八彎的山道上再回首凝望九(jiu)龍(long)(long)潭這(zhe)片(pian)神奇(qi)的景(jing)區,看那云籠霧(wu)罩的群峰(feng)與峽谷(gu)(gu),給你以撲朔迷離之(zhi)美,這(zhe)就是(shi)九(jiu)龍(long)(long)峽谷(gu)(gu)的又一奇(qi)觀(guan):霧(wu)鎖峽谷(gu)(gu)。傳說九(jiu)龍(long)(long)潭蛇(she)比較(jiao)多(duo),蛇(she)是(shi)龍(long)(long)的變種,眾蛇(she)所吐之(zhi)氣,常能封住山谷(gu)(gu),使人(ren)感到神秘莫(mo)測。
交通
自駕車(che)從北(bei)京出發,經順(shun)義(yi)、密云到黃酒館治安檢查(cha)站,沿津(jin)承(cheng)公(gong)路南行4公(gong)里即達(da)。從承(cheng)德、唐(tang)山來(lai)的游客(ke),可先到興隆縣城,沿津(jin)承(cheng)公(gong)路南行即達(da)。
免費政策
2020年2月,為(wei)表達對廣大(da)醫務(wu)工作者(zhe)的(de)敬(jing)意,景區將在疫情結束并(bing)恢復經(jing)營后向醫務(wu)人員免費(fei)或優(you)惠(hui)開(kai)放。(具體優(you)惠(hui)細則以各景區公(gong)告(gao)為(wei)準)。
九龍潭(tan)自然風(feng)景區(qu)面積約30平方公(gong)里(li),動(dong)植物(wu)資源(yuan)十分豐富,曾是清東陵“后龍風(feng)水禁(jin)地”的(de)后封山,山上為半(ban)原始森(sen)林次生狀態,有“京東綠(lv)色寶(bao)庫”的(de)美稱。
這里山(shan)(shan)高林密,峰奇石秀,峽谷縱橫(heng),溪(xi)潭珠聯(lian),曲徑通幽,景色宜人。春季(ji)(ji):春風(feng)送暖,萬(wan)木爭榮,山(shan)(shan)花爛漫,勝似世外(wai)桃源;夏季(ji)(ji):千瀑飛(fei)瀉,綠樹成蔭,涼風(feng)習習,猶如人間仙境;秋季(ji)(ji):赤橙黃綠,碩果(guo)累(lei)累(lei),秋風(feng)送爽,令人心(xin)曠(kuang)神怡(yi);冬季(ji)(ji):山(shan)(shan)舞銀蛇(she),銀裝素裹,冰川玉瀑,萬(wan)樹“梨花”,更是賞心(xin)悅目。
九龍風(feng)景區(qu)(qu)(qu)主線分羚羊峽(xia)谷(gu)區(qu)(qu)(qu)、九龍潭(tan)峽(xia)谷(gu)區(qu)(qu)(qu)、老君洞峽(xia)谷(gu)區(qu)(qu)(qu)和一(yi)處奇觀“太極八卦井”。景區(qu)(qu)(qu)內(nei)人文(wen)景觀歷史(shi)悠久,龍的文(wen)化,神(shen)的傳說自成(cheng)(cheng)體(ti)系。一(yi)億(yi)四千萬(wan)年(nian)前(qian)的燕山(shan)造山(shan)運動形成(cheng)(cheng)了景區(qu)(qu)(qu)內(nei)刀劈斧削(xue)的大峽(xia)谷(gu),使該景區(qu)(qu)(qu)以山(shan)、石、林、水潭(tan)著稱,為京東一(yi)絕。景區(qu)(qu)(qu)內(nei)山(shan)高林密(mi),峰(feng)奇石秀,峽(xia)谷(gu)縱橫,溪潭(tan)珠聯,曲徑通幽,可謂奇、秀、險、幽兼(jian)備,神(shen)秘迷人。
相傳(chuan)在(zai)遠(yuan)古時代盤古氏開(kai)天(tian)辟地后(hou),身化(hua)(hua)日、月、山、河等萬物時化(hua)(hua)有(you)巨龍(long),居于滄海(hai)(hai)中(zhong)龍(long)窩(wo),并(bing)生有(you)一(yi)(yi)女九子。后(hou)來由于滄海(hai)(hai)變桑田,大(da)海(hai)(hai)東移,龍(long)王在(zai)隨(sui)(sui)海(hai)(hai)東行(xing)前不(bu)愿自己的(de)(de)子女們(men)一(yi)(yi)路勞(lao)頓,并(bing)且九子未修(xiu)成真正龍(long)形之前也不(bu)能全部隨(sui)(sui)行(xing),就在(zai)龍(long)窩(wo)外開(kai)辟了九道龍(long)潭為兒女們(men)居住,并(bing)以自身之鱗化(hua)(hua)出鰲、羚、鷹、魚、蝦、蛇等動(dong)物守衛在(zai)龍(long)潭左右,一(yi)(yi)直守衛至今。傳(chuan)說雖(sui)虛,不(bu)過確有(you)龍(long)窩(wo)村(cun)、九龍(long)潭為據。興隆(long)縣的(de)(de)確在(zai)史前曾沒于大(da)海(hai)(hai),為古遼海(hai)(hai)。今縣城南3公里處紅(hong)石砬(la)村(cun)周圍(wei)的(de)(de)“紅(hong)石砬(la)”,經地質學(xue)家鑒定確實(shi)是海(hai)(hai)底沉(chen)積巖。
