九(jiu)(jiu)龍(long)潭(tan)自然(ran)風景(jing)區位(wei)于興隆縣城南13公(gong)里(li)處,它位(wei)于京、津、唐、承(cheng)四市的結合部,距北(bei)京150公(gong)里(li),承(cheng)德130公(gong)里(li)。景(jing)區分為一奇、三峽、九(jiu)(jiu)潭(tan)、八(ba)大景(jing)觀,五十多個景(jing)點(dian)。
比較著名(ming)的(de)太極八卦井深8.6米,無水,堪稱九龍(long)一奇。嚴(yan)冬,井內酷熱如蒸;炎夏(xia),井內凝寒(han)結(jie)冰(bing)。此(ci)井融陰(yin)陽之變,容水火之功,同冰(bing)碳之異,冬則生暖(nuan),夏(xia)則凝寒(han),地脈靈(ling)泉,神妙(miao)莫測,故稱太極八卦井。
2020年2月,為表達(da)對(dui)廣大醫務工(gong)作(zuo)者的敬意,景區(qu)將在疫情結(jie)束并恢復(fu)經營后向醫務人(ren)員優惠開(kai)放。
羚(ling)羊峽(xia)谷(gu)(gu)區(qu),懸崖(ya)(ya)峭壁勢(shi)如刀劈斧削(xue),谷(gu)(gu)內奇峰林(lin)立,高(gao)聳入云,怪石橫生,造型奇特,有(you)鬼斧神(shen)工(gong)之妙。如果(guo)你(ni)細心觀察不難發現,兩邊(bian)的山(shan)崖(ya)(ya)似(si)乎能合在一起,仰首望天(tian),只(zhi)有(you)一線寬。從地質構造上說(shuo),這(zhe)是一億四千萬年(nian)前燕山(shan)造山(shan)運動形成的一道大裂谷(gu)(gu),故爾(er)如刀劈斧削(xue)。傳說(shuo)龍(long)(long)王(wang)開潭時,將龍(long)(long)鱗化(hua)為萬只(zhi)羚(ling)羊,日(ri)夜(ye)在龍(long)(long)潭險(xian)崖(ya)(ya)上巡(xun)守,它們居住(zhu)在這(zhe)條大峽(xia)谷(gu)(gu)中繁(fan)衍生息,因此人稱“龍(long)(long)羚(ling)谷(gu)(gu)”也叫“羚(ling)羊大峽(xia)谷(gu)(gu)”。。羚(ling)羊峽(xia)谷(gu)(gu)主要景(jing)點有(you)九個:雙(shuang)獅崖(ya)(ya)、小石林(lin)、臥虎峰、拇指峰、仙翁棋臺(tai)、通天(tian)河瀑布、黃鷹晾翅(chi)崖(ya)(ya)、神(shen)龜(gui)戲水和龍(long)(long)門。
前(qian)面(mian)這塊(kuai)巨(ju)(ju)石(shi)(shi)有(you)兩(liang)丈見方(fang),方(fang)方(fang)正(zheng)正(zheng)厚厚實實,真是(shi)萬年(nian)盤(pan)石(shi)(shi)。這塊(kuai)巨(ju)(ju)石(shi)(shi)叫“仙(xian)(xian)(xian)翁(weng)棋臺”,最早是(shi)“龍王點(dian)將臺”。相傳(chuan),在龍王開辟九龍潭時(shi),每天在此(ci)(ci)巨(ju)(ju)石(shi)(shi)上分兵點(dian)將,龍潭開辟完(wan)畢,此(ci)(ci)臺閑置無用。由于臺的(de)周(zhou)圍環境清新幽靜(jing),引(yin)來(lai)許多神仙(xian)(xian)(xian)在此(ci)(ci)下(xia)棋,因此(ci)(ci)人(ren)(ren)們(men)又(you)稱它為“仙(xian)(xian)(xian)翁(weng)棋臺”。傳(chuan)說古時(shi)有(you)一(yi)(yi)(yi)位(wei)青(qing)(qing)年(nian)到(dao)山(shan)(shan)里(li)砍柴,看見兩(liang)位(wei)鶴發(fa)童顏的(de)老(lao)人(ren)(ren)在此(ci)(ci)下(xia)棋,便看了(le)一(yi)(yi)(yi)會兒。忽覺(jue)腹中饑餓,就(jiu)拾起地上仙(xian)(xian)(xian)人(ren)(ren)吃剩下(xia)的(de)幾枚桃(tao)核充饑。直到(dao)午后,日(ri)(ri)已西(xi)沉,仙(xian)(xian)(xian)人(ren)(ren)下(xia)完(wan)棋,青(qing)(qing)年(nian)才(cai)出山(shan)(shan)。到(dao)了(le)村(cun)里(li),村(cun)里(li)的(de)人(ren)(ren)他(ta)一(yi)(yi)(yi)個也不認識(shi)了(le)。問自家門(men)前(qian)一(yi)(yi)(yi)位(wei)白發(fa)老(lao)人(ren)(ren),老(lao)人(ren)(ren)說他(ta)有(you)一(yi)(yi)(yi)位(wei)老(lao)祖爺(ye)爺(ye)入(ru)山(shan)(shan)砍柴至今未歸。青(qing)(qing)年(nian)方(fang)知(zhi)自己遇到(dao)了(le)仙(xian)(xian)(xian)人(ren)(ren)。真是(shi)“山(shan)(shan)中方(fang)一(yi)(yi)(yi)日(ri)(ri),世上已千年(nian)”。青(qing)(qing)年(nian)復(fu)又(you)入(ru)山(shan)(shan)修(xiu)道(dao),終于修(xiu)煉成(cheng)仙(xian)(xian)(xian)。到(dao)“仙(xian)(xian)(xian)翁(weng)棋臺”上走(zou)一(yi)(yi)(yi)走(zou),有(you)道(dao)是(shi)“仙(xian)(xian)(xian)翁(weng)棋臺走(zou)一(yi)(yi)(yi)走(zou),人(ren)(ren)能活到(dao)九十(shi)九”。
通(tong)天(tian)洞河瀑(pu)(pu)布(bu)自下而望,瀑(pu)(pu)口形如(ru)古(gu)井(jing),橫紋層巖,狀似馬(ma)蹄;上(shang)有藍天(tian),水(shui)(shui)來無(wu)源(yuan);飛瀑(pu)(pu)下注,甕(weng)聲甕(weng)氣(qi);仿(fang)佛水(shui)(shui)從(cong)(cong)天(tian)上(shang)來,與井(jing)壁形成(cheng)共(gong)鳴,水(shui)(shui)聲嘩(hua)嘩(hua),悅耳動聽,婉(wan)如(ru)編鐘古(gu)罄。傳說通(tong)天(tian)河瀑(pu)(pu)布(bu)是九(jiu)個龍(long)子外出必(bi)經(jing)之路,九(jiu)龍(long)必(bi)須從(cong)(cong)此(ci)逆流而上(shang),騰空(kong)直上(shang)云霄間,然后才(cai)能遨游太空(kong),因(yin)此(ci)這條瀑(pu)(pu)布(bu)就叫(jiao)通(tong)天(tian)河瀑(pu)(pu)布(bu),其水(shui)(shui)來無(wu)源(yuan)去無(wu)跡。
崖呈黃色(se),中間是黃鷹的(de)頭和(he)腹(fu),兩(liang)邊(bian)是展開的(de)雙翅,恰(qia)似一只巨大的(de)黃鷹,展開垂天之翼(yi),迎著朝陽,沐著雨露,晾曬(shai)著雙翅。給人以(yi)“昆鵬展翅九萬(wan)里”的(de)威(wei)武與(yu)雄(xiong)壯感。
山(shan)如龜(gui)(gui)殼,坡度平緩,那(nei)條黑乎乎的長圓巨(ju)石形似龜(gui)(gui)頭(tou)伸向河中(zhong),整體看(kan)來猶如神龜(gui)(gui)戲水;右(you)邊山(shan)崖上還有個(ge)洞,就是“龜(gui)(gui)相(xiang)(xiang)洞”。相(xiang)(xiang)傳,龍(long)王在(zai)開潭后東行(xing),臨行(xing)前囑咐誠實(shi)的龜(gui)(gui)丞相(xiang)(xiang)在(zai)這(zhe)(zhe)里細(xi)心記(ji)錄每(mei)一個(ge)進(jin)入龍(long)門者的行(xing)為(wei)(wei)(wei),守衛龍(long)潭。老(lao)龜(gui)(gui)丞相(xiang)(xiang)為(wei)(wei)(wei)了提醒進(jin)入龍(long)潭峽谷的人,便施法(fa)術,把這(zhe)(zhe)座山(shan)化為(wei)(wei)(wei)背殼,把那(nei)塊巨(ju)石化為(wei)(wei)(wei)自己的頭(tou)形,監視行(xing)人,自己卻隱身(shen)于右(you)面的洞中(zhong),暗自記(ji)錄每(mei)一個(ge)過往行(xing)者。請(qing)看(kan)老(lao)龜(gui)(gui)丞相(xiang)(xiang)幾萬年來仍在(zai)這(zhe)(zhe)里,為(wei)(wei)(wei)看(kan)守九龍(long)潭盡職(zhi)盡責(ze)。
龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men),它是龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)之門(men)(men),也是“羚羊峽(xia)谷(gu)(gu)”與“九龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)峽(xia)谷(gu)(gu)”的分(fen)(fen)界,過了(le)龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)就是“九龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)峽(xia)谷(gu)(gu)”和“老君洞峽(xia)谷(gu)(gu)”了(le),正所(suo)謂“龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)”分(fen)(fen)三(san)峽(xia)。傳說鯉魚(yu)躍上龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)就會(hui)變為龍(long)(long)(long),故有“魚(yu)躍龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)”的成語。正因為龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)難躍,才(cai)險峻(jun)如刀(dao)劈斧削。龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)長(chang)年半(ban)開(kai)半(ban)閉,使行人(ren)至此有“山重水復疑(yi)無路”之感。龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)上有雞冠(guan)石(shi),似在提醒守門(men)(men)衛士,雞鳴天(tian)亮才(cai)可開(kai)門(men)(men)放(fang)行。古時(shi)人(ren)們常來(lai)這時(shi)觀(guan)察龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)來(lai)預(yu)測一(yi)年天(tian)氣變化,留下民諺(yan):“立春頭道龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)霧,春種雨水足;立夏頭道龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)干,一(yi)夏天(tian)盡旱;立秋頭道龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)風(feng),今秋五谷(gu)(gu)豐;立冬頭道龍(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)雪,明年好年月。”
所謂“九(jiu)龍大(da)峽谷”乃因谷中(zhong)有九(jiu)龍潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)而得名,谷內(nei)有睚眥潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、囚牛潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、蒲牢潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、嘲風潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、狻猊潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、霸下潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、狴犴潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、赑(bì)屃(xì)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、鴟(chi)吻潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)九(jiu)道龍潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan),外加神猿通(tong)天(tian)壁(bi)、龍女瑤、將軍峰、水漫(man)平石川、獸(shou)頭峰等景點。
靠近(jin)頭(tou)道龍(long)潭,原(yuan)來還有座龍(long)王(wang)(wang)廟(miao)(miao),古時香火很盛(sheng),四(si)季(ji)不斷。尤其到了大旱之年,不算大的(de)龍(long)王(wang)(wang)廟(miao)(miao)香煙(yan)繚繞,一(yi)派神(shen)秘仙氣。求(qiu)雨(yu)者排成隊,有時長達數里之遙。據考證,這座龍(long)王(wang)(wang)廟(miao)(miao)最晚也(ye)是(shi)明代建筑(zhu),它依山傍水,廟(miao)(miao)中供奉的(de)主神(shen)就是(shi)開(kai)辟九龍(long)潭的(de)“老龍(long)王(wang)(wang)”。
如今(jin)已見(jian)不到古時人(ren)(ren)們求雨(yu)(yu)的(de)熱鬧場面(mian)了,而(er)(er)古時由(you)于(yu)人(ren)(ren)們迷信,一到干旱少雨(yu)(yu)季節,方圓百里(li)的(de)人(ren)(ren)全要(yao)到九(jiu)(jiu)龍潭向(xiang)龍王求雨(yu)(yu)。求雨(yu)(yu)的(de)隊(dui)伍(wu)里(li)不能有女人(ren)(ren),而(er)(er)男(nan)人(ren)(ren)們全要(yao)赤背排成長(chang)隊(dui),三(san)步一拜(bai)(bai),五步一叩,將全羊全豬等祭(ji)(ji)品(pin)(pin)抬至潭前(qian),經過幾(ji)天祭(ji)(ji)拜(bai)(bai),把(ba)祭(ji)(ji)品(pin)(pin)全部沉(chen)于(yu)潭中(zhong),據說如果潭上冒起白氣,天就(jiu)會下雨(yu)(yu)了。趕(gan)上大(da)旱之年有時一鬧就(jiu)是幾(ji)十天,這種鬧劇使九(jiu)(jiu)龍潭至今(jin)仍(reng)然充滿神秘色(se)彩。
在(zai)龍王廟求雨所(suo)祭之潭為第(di)(di)一潭,潭名睚眥(zi)(zi)。它(ta)是龍王第(di)(di)二子,由于生性好斗,且好殺戮,恩怨分明(ming),睚眥(zi)(zi)必報,龍王便把它(ta)的潭府開在(zai)第(di)(di)一位,以守(shou)衛龍潭門(men)戶(hu)。正因(yin)如(ru)此,睚眥(zi)(zi)常(chang)被人們刻在(zai)刀劍(jian)柄(bing)上(shang)為標志,以增加殺氣。傳(chuan)說(shuo)睚眥(zi)(zi)恩怨分明(ming),有(you)求必應,但卻得罪不(bu)得。據傳(chuan),龍窩村(cun)有(you)幾個村(cun)民用炸(zha)藥在(zai)睚眥(zi)(zi)潭炸(zha)魚,結果(guo)走在(zai)路上(shang)就(jiu)下起(qi)暴(bao)雨,冰雹(bao)齊(qi)下,打(da)來的魚全跑光,村(cun)里遭了雹(bao)災,顆粒無收。這也許是巧合,不(bu)過自從那(nei)時起(qi),睚眥(zi)(zi)潭便石封沙(sha)鎖,一閉(bi)至(zhi)今(jin),不(bu)再開潭。傳(chuan)說(shuo)睚眥(zi)(zi)潭水(shui)(shui)有(you)避(bi)鬼(gui)魅、祛(qu)邪(xie)祟(sui)的作用,若不(bu)是如(ru)今(jin)趕(gan)上(shang)閉(bi)潭,可取水(shui)(shui)洗臉或(huo)食用,以避(bi)邪(xie)祟(sui)。
第二道龍潭(tan)(tan)叫“囚(qiu)牛潭(tan)(tan)”,潭(tan)(tan)底(di)為(wei)白巖,潭(tan)(tan)形(xing)如(ru)(ru)臥鐘,瀑布如(ru)(ru)鐘鈕。潭(tan)(tan)水清澈見底(di),游(you)魚可見。千年萬年水石相擊,使潭(tan)(tan)上小溪形(xing)如(ru)(ru)水渠,齊如(ru)(ru)刀劈斧削(xue),下(xia)注龍潭(tan)(tan),嘩嘩作響。傳說(shuo)龍生九(jiu)子各有所好,“囚(qiu)牛”是龍王長子,性喜音樂,終日(ri)操琴,故龍王把它安排在遠(yuan)離弟兄(xiong)之處,既可守衛龍門(men),又可遠(yuan)避嫌怨。由于“囚(qiu)牛”愛好音樂,常被人(ren)刻在胡琴上作為(wei)標志。
這道(dao)龍潭(tan)的瀑(pu)布多(duo)有(you)氣(qi)勢,這是第三(san)潭(tan),名叫“蒲(pu)牢(lao)(lao)潭(tan)”,是龍王(wang)的第三(san)子,一道(dao)飛瀑(pu)切開懸崖,形成高丈,寬(kuan)不(bu)足2米的缺口,瀑(pu)流飛瀉,下注清(qing)(qing)潭(tan),飛花碎(sui)玉,水(shui)聲(sheng)轟鳴(ming)(ming)(ming)。潭(tan)聲(sheng)如鐘馨齊(qi)鳴(ming)(ming)(ming),八音(yin)(yin)齊(qi)奏。潭(tan)形如扇(shan)面,潭(tan)闊(kuo)水(shui)深,汪(wang)汪(wang)一碧,但仍清(qing)(qing)澈見底,游魚細石(shi)直視無礙。蒲(pu)牢(lao)(lao)好鳴(ming)(ming)(ming),日(ri)出(chu)即(ji)鳴(ming)(ming)(ming),月(yue)出(chu)亦吟,如一位男(nan)中(zhong)音(yin)(yin)歌者(zhe),所以每當人們夜深人靜時(shi)來到“蒲(pu)牢(lao)(lao)潭(tan)”前,便(bian)可(ke)聽到它(ta)如八音(yin)(yin)齊(qi)奏的悅耳聲(sheng)音(yin)(yin)。由于“蒲(pu)牢(lao)(lao)”好鳴(ming)(ming)(ming),常被人們刻在鐘鈕上(shang)以為標志。
在(zai)莆牢(lao)(lao)潭的左面(mian)另(ling)有(you)一道峽(xia)谷(gu),似較(jiao)寬(kuan)闊,綠松滿坡,清流(liu)(liu)遠來,飛落瑤(yao)池,與浦牢(lao)(lao)之水(shui)(shui)交匯流(liu)(liu)向(xiang)第(di)二(er)潭――囚牛潭,人稱“龍(long)女(nv)瑤(yao)”。它和各位兄(xiong)長既山水(shui)(shui)不(bu)斷,親(qin)緣(yuan)相連,又獨谷(gu)秀(xiu)瑤(yao),景色雋秀(xiu),雖然龍(long)女(nv)侍奉觀(guan)音菩薩在(zai)南海(hai),但瑤(yao)瀑依然整理得清潔雅(ya)致(zhi),另(ling)有(you)幽雅(ya)情趣(qu),看瀑流(liu)(liu)順峽(xia)谷(gu)飛瀉而下(xia),被扯(che)成絲絲縷縷,紛披(pi)如簾,水(shui)(shui)如柔情。傳說龍(long)女(nv)掌(zhang)管龍(long)王珠藏,龍(long)女(nv)喜(xi)(xi)吃燒(shao)燕,梁武帝曾(ceng)以(yi)燒(shao)燕獻龍(long)女(nv),龍(long)女(nv)食之大喜(xi)(xi),以(yi)大珠三(san)、小珠七、雜珠一石來報(bao)答梁武帝。
百丈黃崖,壁(bi)(bi)立千仞(ren),高(gao)聳(song)入云(yun),勢如斧劈,名神猿(yuan)(yuan)通(tong)天(tian)壁(bi)(bi),崖上(shang)為猿(yuan)(yuan)猴(hou)(hou)常居(ju)之地(di),別看這百丈黃崖人無法爬(pa)上(shang),猿(yuan)(yuan)猴(hou)(hou)卻可如飛攀援而上(shang)。幾年前,有一(yi)村(cun)民用獵(lie)槍打傷(shang)一(yi)只(zhi)獼(mi)猴(hou)(hou),眾獼(mi)猴(hou)(hou)見其(qi)(qi)未死,飛速爬(pa)下,抬起傷(shang)者飛速爬(pa)上(shang)絕壁(bi)(bi),村(cun)民追之不及,只(zhi)好任其(qi)(qi)逃掉。崖頂也有獼(mi)猴(hou)(hou)居(ju)住(zhu),不過由于有游(you)人,不敢下來玩耍。由于這面山(shan)崖只(zhi)有猿(yuan)(yuan)猴(hou)(hou)能上(shang),所(suo)以(yi)稱這面崖壁(bi)(bi)為“神猿(yuan)(yuan)通(tong)天(tian)壁(bi)(bi)”。
順著(zhu)龍女瑤(yao)往上方(fang)遠看,那座險峰形如將(jiang)軍(jun)頭盔,上有(you)一(yi)顆(ke)松樹又似盔上簪(zan)纓(ying),高大威武,氣度非凡(fan),我們稱它為將(jiang)軍(jun)峰,似一(yi)位(wei)天神下凡(fan),化(hua)為將(jiang)軍(jun),守(shou)衛著(zhu)這(zhe)九(jiu)龍大峽谷。
順鐵梯棧道上行,可(ke)以欣賞到最純(chun)凈的(de)嘲(chao)風(feng)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan),嘲(chao)風(feng)是龍(long)王的(de)第(di)四子。嘲(chao)風(feng)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)是潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)上之潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan),峽中之潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan),碧水(shui)切開崖壁,形如人工所鑿(zao)之石(shi)(shi)渠,下(xia)注(zhu)嘲(chao)風(feng),夾(jia)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)石(shi)(shi)峽高(gao)可(ke)幾十丈,潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)形似(si)大(da)甕,上有(you)入口(kou),下(xia)有(you)出口(kou),又以酒胡蘆(lu)。仰視天空僅(jin)如井口(kou),俯視潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)面,碧水(shui)清清如水(shui)晶,山光(guang)云(yun)影倒(dao)映(ying)如畫(hua)。潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)底系(xi)整個白石(shi)(shi),沙礫皆無,純(chun)凈無比,游魚(yu)往來,引人艷羨。龍(long)王根據(ju)嘲(chao)風(feng)好(hao)險的(de)性格,才給它安排了(le)這處奇(qi)絕險怪的(de)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)府。正因嘲(chao)風(feng)好(hao)險,常被人們把(ba)其形象刻(ke)在大(da)殿(dian)的(de)屋角上,以鎮(zhen)殿(dian)脊(ji)。嘲(chao)風(feng)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)據(ju)傳(chuan)說是很有(you)靈驗的(de)龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan),村民常來這里求(qiu)雨,有(you)求(qiu)必應。
沿鐵梯棧道而上(shang)到兩(liang)山之間的(de)過(guo)橋上(shang),我(wo)們可以(yi)游賞到第(di)五潭,名叫狁(yun)猊(ni)潭。是(shi)一個長形狹窄(zhai)的(de)小潭,水清(qing)潭靜,微波不起,平(ping)展(zhan)如鏡,寧靜無聲。狁(yun)猊(ni)喜靜坐(zuo),所以(yi)常被人們刻在佛座上(shang),以(yi)為標志。
霸(ba)下(xia)潭上口半(ban)圓形,如門(men)緊閉,潭形如鏡,潭面較闊(kuo),左(zuo)靠(kao)懸崖,右近絕壁,萬(wan)重(zhong)(zhong)大(da)山(shan)壓下(xia),千道巨嶺相(xiang)連(lian)。霸(ba)下(xia)是龍王的(de)第六(liu)子,性喜負(fu)重(zhong)(zhong),龍王就把它的(de)潭府開(kai)在通天(tian)入云的(de)懸崖絕壁下(xia),潺潺流(liu)水匯(hui)其(qi)下(xia),萬(wan)千巨峰壓其(qi)上,“霸(ba)下(xia)”居(ju)此(ci)安(an)居(ju)樂業。由于(yu)“霸(ba)下(xia)”好負(fu)重(zhong)(zhong),形似巨龜,常(chang)被(bei)(bei)人們(men)刻在碑(bei)座上,但常(chang)又(you)被(bei)(bei)不識(shi)者誤認為龜馱(tuo)石(shi)碑(bei)。
沿峽谷艱難前行,兩(liang)(liang)岸(an)懸崖奇(qi)險(xian)無比(bi),崖上原始灌木叢(cong)生(sheng)。約行一二里,可見夾岸(an)崖下一道碧潭(tan)(tan),潭(tan)(tan)平(ping)如鏡,潭(tan)(tan)底(di)為整潔如玉的一塊白石,平(ping)坦如砥(di),水(shui)清(qing)見底(di),兩(liang)(liang)峽夾峙,險(xian)峻異常。狴犴是(shi)龍王第(di)七子,辦事公正,喜理訟(song)(song)案(an)。民間流傳諺語:“訟(song)(song)事到潭(tan)(tan)前,公道找狴犴;是(shi)非何用(yong)問,潭(tan)(tan)影自分(fen)辨。”因此,狴犴常被人們刻在(zai)監獄門(men)上,形狀似虎,象征公正廉(lian)明。
繞(rao)過(guo)僅一尺寬(kuan)的崖路,前(qian)面是第八道(dao)龍(long)潭“赑(bi)bì屃xì潭”。赑(bi)屃是龍(long)王八子,喜歡舞文弄墨(mo),所(suo)以龍(long)王開潭時,使其潭形(xing)如巨硯,潭邊巖(yan)石多紋(wen)。群峰夾峙,上(shang)似(si)懸鐘覆蓋,下似(si)殘月半圓(yuan),瀑流瀉入,山鳴谷(gu)應,空(kong)谷(gu)傳(chuan)響,別有(you)幽趣。潭水(shui)清清,碧(bi)如翡翠,給人以晶(jing)瑩如女兒綠之感。相傳(chuan)此作(zuo)此潭水(shui)沐浴,一定(ding)能(neng)寫出(chu)世間錦繡(xiu)文章(zhang),天(tian)下絕(jue)妙詩賦(fu)。因此,赑(bi)bì屃xì常被(bei)人刻在石碑(bei)頂或邊緣上(shang),作(zuo)為裝飾花紋(wen)。
第(di)九道(dao)龍(long)潭(tan),也是最后(hou)一道(dao)龍(long)潭(tan)──鴟(chi)吻(wen)潭(tan),必須攀崖牽藤(teng),游蕩而過。由(you)(you)于(yu)龍(long)王(wang)第(di)九子“鴟(chi)吻(wen)”善吞好水(shui)(shui),龍(long)王(wang)就(jiu)把它安排在最后(hou),所有九潭(tan)之水(shui)(shui)均(jun)由(you)(you)其腹中(zhong)包藏,由(you)(you)其口(kou)中(zhong)吞吐。大有“腹盛龍(long)潭(tan)千鐘水(shui)(shui),口(kou)吞峽谷萬重(zhong)山”之勢。由(you)(you)于(yu)鴟(chi)吻(wen)好水(shui)(shui),常(chang)被人們(men)刻(ke)在橋梁上,作為鎮水(shui)(shui)獸。飛瀑入潭(tan),山光水(shui)(shui)光,樹影云影,詩情(qing)畫意,天(tian)籟悠(you)悠(you)。
九龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)大峽(xia)谷(gu)的最后一(yi)景是(shi)“龍(long)(long)(long)水(shui)(shui)源瀑(pu)布(bu)”。位于九龍(long)(long)(long)峽(xia)谷(gu)的最后部。這里山(shan)陡林密,四季風光各異。一(yi)億四千萬年前(qian)燕(yan)山(shan)造山(shan)運(yun)動,使(shi)這里有一(yi)股地(di)下巖隙水(shui)(shui)噴薄(bo)而出,萬古不竭的泉水(shui)(shui)從山(shan)崖(ya)上落下,飛花(hua)碎(sui)玉,晶瑩多芒,宛如(ru)楊花(hua)柳絮,飄飄蕩蕩,生(sheng)機(ji)勃勃。飛瀑(pu)入(ru)潭(tan),回清(qing)倒影,良多趣(qu)味。相傳這瀑(pu)布(bu)是(shi)在(zai)龍(long)(long)(long)王開辟九龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)時,怕有一(yi)天潭(tan)水(shui)(shui)會(hui)干,便(bian)長年引來四海之(zhi)水(shui)(shui),水(shui)(shui)來龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)后,眾生(sheng)全(quan)求之(zhi)于它(ta),龍(long)(long)(long)王又愁如(ru)何分配,思考再三(san),最后決(jue)定,把水(shui)(shui)灑在(zai)千山(shan)萬谷(gu)之(zhi)中。除去眾生(sheng)所需,余下的匯流于龍(long)(long)(long)水(shui)(shui)源。為一(yi)見(jian)之(zhi)下可知水(shui)(shui)量,又開辟了“龍(long)(long)(long)水(shui)(shui)源瀑(pu)布(bu)”。“飛瀑(pu)之(zhi)下,必有深潭(tan)”,因此(ci),九道龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)長年水(shui)(shui)量充足,如(ru)九星聯珠(zhu),蔚(yu)為古今奇觀。
這口(kou)(kou)(kou)井(jing)(jing)(jing)就是(shi)天下奇觀──太極(ji)八卦井(jing)(jing)(jing)。井(jing)(jing)(jing)深8米,是(shi)一口(kou)(kou)(kou)枯(ku)井(jing)(jing)(jing)。這口(kou)(kou)(kou)井(jing)(jing)(jing)的(de)(de)神奇之(zhi)處不在水(shui),而在于它(ta)的(de)(de)神奇變化。每當冬(dong)季到來的(de)(de)時候(hou),井(jing)(jing)(jing)內溫熱如夏,時有(you)騰(teng)騰(teng)白氣(qi)自(zi)(zi)井(jing)(jing)(jing)口(kou)(kou)(kou)冒出。近觀則(ze)(ze)溫潤撲面,暖(nuan)人(ren)心房;遠(yuan)看則(ze)(ze)云霧(wu)氤氳,配以古樸農戶,游(you)人(ren)至(zhi)此(ci),如至(zhi)仙境。時至(zhi)炎夏,井(jing)(jing)(jing)內凝寒結冰,凜(lin)(lin)凜(lin)(lin)寒風(feng)從井(jing)(jing)(jing)中吹(chui)出,滿院生(sheng)涼。近前則(ze)(ze)清冽(lie)襲人(ren),砭人(ren)肌骨(gu);遠(yuan)觀則(ze)(ze)綠峰翠嶺環抱,山居古樸,幽(you)思(si)曠(kuang)渺。自(zi)(zi)古陰陽(yang)不兩立,水(shui)火不相容,冰炭(tan)不同(tong)爐,可是(shi)這口(kou)(kou)(kou)太極(ji)八卦井(jing)(jing)(jing)則(ze)(ze)融陰陽(yang)之(zhi)氣(qi),糅(rou)水(shui)火之(zhi)功,同(tong)冰炭(tan)之(zhi)用(yong),冬(dong)則(ze)(ze)生(sheng)暖(nuan),夏則(ze)(ze)凝寒;地脈靈(ling)泉,神異如斯,自(zi)(zi)古稀見。
關于太(tai)(tai)極(ji)(ji)八(ba)(ba)卦(gua)(gua)井(jing)(jing),還有個神(shen)(shen)秘的(de)傳說。當年華(hua)夏(xia)第一(yi)(yi)條祖龍(long)(long)居于九(jiu)龍(long)(long)潭外龍(long)(long)窩時(shi)(shi),兒女眾多,高朋(peng)滿(man)座(zuo),經(jing)常龍(long)(long)子龍(long)(long)孫聚會,時(shi)(shi)時(shi)(shi)神(shen)(shen)仙來訪,晏會常開(kai)(kai),山珍海(hai)(hai)味(wei)常備不(bu)時(shi)(shi)之(zhi)需(xu)。可是冬天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)寒冷(leng)食(shi)物變硬,夏(xia)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)炎熱,食(shi)物易(yi)腐。這(zhe)(zhe)時(shi)(shi)太(tai)(tai)上老君(jun)剛剛在(zai)九(jiu)龍(long)(long)潭老君(jun)洞內(nei)修(xiu)成(cheng)正果(guo),為了報答龍(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)給他找的(de)修(xiu)煉(lian)靜地,于是便將(jiang)開(kai)(kai)宗(zong)創(chuang)派之(zhi)寶太(tai)(tai)極(ji)(ji)八(ba)(ba)卦(gua)(gua)圖畫了副本,贈(zeng)與龍(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)。龍(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)掘開(kai)(kai)地脈靈泉,把太(tai)(tai)極(ji)(ji)八(ba)(ba)卦(gua)(gua)圖埋下,開(kai)(kai)創(chuang)了一(yi)(yi)座(zuo)儲藏山珍海(hai)(hai)味(wei)的(de)寶庫。太(tai)(tai)極(ji)(ji)八(ba)(ba)卦(gua)(gua)圖有包羅萬(wan)象顛(dian)倒陰(yin)陽之(zhi)功,這(zhe)(zhe)座(zuo)寶庫冬天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)變暖(nuan),夏(xia)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)生涼。一(yi)(yi)年四季,龍(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)都能吃到鮮(xian)嫩的(de)山珍海(hai)(hai)味(wei)了。后來,大海(hai)(hai)東移(yi),龍(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)在(zai)臨行(xing)前用法術封存(cun)了這(zhe)(zhe)座(zuo)寶庫,只留下一(yi)(yi)個通(tong)(tong)氣(qi)孔(kong)。物換星移(yi),滄(cang)海(hai)(hai)桑田(tian),這(zhe)(zhe)通(tong)(tong)氣(qi)孔(kong)被村民挖井(jing)(jing)時(shi)(shi)偶(ou)然找到,于是便成(cheng)今天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)的(de)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)下一(yi)(yi)大奇(qi)觀──太(tai)(tai)極(ji)(ji)八(ba)(ba)卦(gua)(gua)井(jing)(jing)。夏(xia)季,如果(guo)你把一(yi)(yi)桶水(shui)放入井(jing)(jing)中(zhong),一(yi)(yi)夜之(zhi)間會結成(cheng)寒冰;冬季,你把一(yi)(yi)塊冰放入井(jing)(jing)中(zhong),它會融化成(cheng)水(shui)。以至(zhi)這(zhe)(zhe)位農民靠近(jin)井(jing)(jing)的(de)這(zhe)(zhe)間屋子都溫暖(nuan)如春,即使(shi)穿短褲下到井(jing)(jing)內(nei)也不(bu)覺寒冷(leng)。不(bu)信請朋(peng)友們提出井(jing)(jing)中(zhong)的(de)水(shui)桶看一(yi)(yi)看,不(bu)看不(bu)知(zhi)道,一(yi)(yi)看真奇(qi)妙。
這(zhe)九(jiu)曲十八彎(wan)的(de)山道上再回首凝望(wang)九(jiu)龍潭這(zhe)片(pian)神奇的(de)景區,看那(nei)云(yun)籠(long)霧(wu)罩的(de)群(qun)峰與峽(xia)(xia)谷,給你以撲(pu)朔迷離之美,這(zhe)就是(shi)九(jiu)龍峽(xia)(xia)谷的(de)又一奇觀(guan):霧(wu)鎖(suo)峽(xia)(xia)谷。傳說九(jiu)龍潭蛇比較多,蛇是(shi)龍的(de)變種,眾蛇所吐(tu)之氣(qi),常能封住山谷,使人感到神秘莫測。

免費政策
2020年2月(yue),為(wei)表達(da)對廣大醫(yi)務工作者的敬意,景區將在疫情結束(shu)并(bing)恢復經營(ying)后向醫(yi)務人(ren)員免(mian)費或優(you)惠開放。(具體優(you)惠細則(ze)以(yi)各(ge)景區公告為(wei)準(zhun))。
九(jiu)龍(long)潭自然風(feng)景區面積約(yue)30平方(fang)公里,動植(zhi)物資源十分豐富,曾是清東(dong)陵“后龍(long)風(feng)水禁(jin)地(di)”的(de)后封山,山上為半原始森(sen)林次生狀態,有“京東(dong)綠色寶(bao)庫”的(de)美稱。
這里山(shan)高(gao)林(lin)密,峰(feng)奇石秀,峽谷縱橫,溪(xi)潭珠聯(lian),曲徑通幽,景(jing)色宜人(ren)。春季(ji):春風(feng)送(song)暖,萬木爭榮,山(shan)花爛漫,勝似世外桃源;夏(xia)季(ji):千瀑飛(fei)瀉(xie),綠樹(shu)成蔭,涼風(feng)習習,猶如人(ren)間(jian)仙境(jing);秋(qiu)(qiu)季(ji):赤橙黃綠,碩果累(lei)累(lei),秋(qiu)(qiu)風(feng)送(song)爽,令人(ren)心曠神怡;冬季(ji):山(shan)舞銀蛇,銀裝素(su)裹,冰川玉瀑,萬樹(shu)“梨花”,更是賞心悅目。
九(jiu)龍(long)風景(jing)區主(zhu)線分羚羊峽(xia)(xia)谷區、九(jiu)龍(long)潭(tan)峽(xia)(xia)谷區、老君洞峽(xia)(xia)谷區和一處奇觀(guan)“太極(ji)八卦井”。景(jing)區內人文(wen)(wen)景(jing)觀(guan)歷(li)史悠久,龍(long)的(de)(de)文(wen)(wen)化,神的(de)(de)傳說自成體系。一億(yi)四千(qian)萬年前(qian)的(de)(de)燕山(shan)(shan)(shan)造山(shan)(shan)(shan)運(yun)動(dong)形(xing)成了景(jing)區內刀(dao)劈(pi)斧削(xue)的(de)(de)大峽(xia)(xia)谷,使該景(jing)區以山(shan)(shan)(shan)、石、林(lin)、水潭(tan)著稱,為京(jing)東一絕(jue)。景(jing)區內山(shan)(shan)(shan)高(gao)林(lin)密,峰(feng)奇石秀,峽(xia)(xia)谷縱橫,溪潭(tan)珠聯,曲徑通幽(you),可謂奇、秀、險、幽(you)兼備(bei),神秘迷人。
相傳(chuan)在(zai)遠古時代盤古氏(shi)開天辟地后,身(shen)(shen)化日、月、山、河等萬(wan)物(wu)時化有巨龍(long)(long),居于(yu)滄海(hai)(hai)(hai)中龍(long)(long)窩,并生(sheng)有一(yi)女(nv)(nv)九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)子(zi)。后來由于(yu)滄海(hai)(hai)(hai)變桑田,大(da)海(hai)(hai)(hai)東移(yi),龍(long)(long)王在(zai)隨(sui)海(hai)(hai)(hai)東行前不愿自(zi)己的(de)(de)(de)子(zi)女(nv)(nv)們一(yi)路(lu)勞(lao)頓,并且九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)子(zi)未修成(cheng)真正龍(long)(long)形之前也不能全(quan)部隨(sui)行,就在(zai)龍(long)(long)窩外開辟了(le)九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)道龍(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)為兒女(nv)(nv)們居住,并以自(zi)身(shen)(shen)之鱗化出鰲、羚、鷹、魚、蝦、蛇等動物(wu)守(shou)衛(wei)在(zai)龍(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)左右,一(yi)直守(shou)衛(wei)至今。傳(chuan)說雖(sui)虛,不過確有龍(long)(long)窩村、九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)龍(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)為據。興隆縣的(de)(de)(de)確在(zai)史前曾沒于(yu)大(da)海(hai)(hai)(hai),為古遼(liao)海(hai)(hai)(hai)。今縣城南3公里(li)處(chu)紅(hong)石(shi)砬(la)村周圍的(de)(de)(de)“紅(hong)石(shi)砬(la)”,經地質(zhi)學家鑒定確實是(shi)海(hai)(hai)(hai)底沉積巖。
