簡介
金(jin)昌市北武當(dang)山(shan)(shan)寺始建于清(qing)乾隆(long)以前,至(zhi)光(guang)緒年(nian)間才逐步完(wan)善(shan),形成一個完(wan)整的建筑群落。山(shan)(shan)腰半道(dao)上(shang)(shang)有一處石刻(ke)文(wen),記載了光(guang)緒六年(nian)完(wan)工后(hou)補修山(shan)(shan)間道(dao)路之事。在(zai)1936年(nian)前,北武當(dang)山(shan)(shan)廟宇群從上(shang)(shang)往(wang)下依次為(wei)玉皇大(da)殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(南天(tian)門)、東岳殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)、真武殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)、三(san)(san)清(qing)宮(gong)(gong)、牌(pai)坊、三(san)(san)茅真君殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)、天(tian)師殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)、王(wang)靈宮(gong)(gong)、五(wu)斗(dou)星君殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)、結義殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)、呂祖宮(gong)(gong)、頭天(tian)門牌(pai)樓(lou)、百子(zi)洞、保生(sheng)殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(醫(yi)神保生(sheng)大(da)帝)、娘娘殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)、蟲王(wang)宮(gong)(gong)、圣王(wang)殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)、祖師殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)、財神殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)、秋(qiu)祖殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)、觀河樓(lou)、山(shan)(shan)麗大(da)殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)、七真觀(清(qing)朝在(zai)此設道(dao)會司(si))、木制戲樓(lou)。全(quan)部建筑分三(san)(san)個部分:山(shan)(shan)腳為(wei)佛(fo)教建筑,山(shan)(shan)腰百子(zi)洞為(wei)民俗眾神建筑,百子(zi)洞至(zhi)金(jin)頂(ding)為(wei)道(dao)教建筑。
歷史變遷
1936年(nian),北武當山(shan)全(quan)部建筑毀于戰(zhan)火。1941年(nian)至1948年(nian)先后續(xu)修,信(xin)教群眾集資捐款,重修了(le)山(shan)麓(lu)大殿(dian)(dian)、百子洞、觀音堂、財神殿(dian)(dian)、三清宮、看(kan)河樓、祖師殿(dian)(dian)等廟宇數(shu)座。全(quan)部建筑最后毀于1936年(nian)和“文革”期間(1966年(nian)左右)。
目前,我們(men)看到(dao)的(de)全部仿古建(jian)(jian)筑是于1994年由(you)永昌(chang)縣籌資新建(jian)(jian)的(de)。從山下至(zhi)金頂(ding)一(yi)次(ci)修建(jian)(jian)了大覺寺、觀音堂、看河樓、三清宮、四御(yu)殿(dian)、魯班閣、七(qi)真祠、長(chang)廊、八仙閣、百子洞、大成(cheng)殿(dian)等15座建(jian)(jian)筑,建(jian)(jian)筑面積達793平方米。整修了山道,從山門盤旋至(zhi)金頂(ding)共建(jian)(jian)成(cheng)磚石(shi)臺(tai)階千余級。次(ci)年,所有廟(miao)宇(yu)內都(dou)彩(cai)繪了與廟(miao)宇(yu)匾額相應內容的(de)壁畫或雕像(xiang)。新建(jian)(jian)的(de)北武(wu)當山寺,集儒、釋、道三教于一(yi)體。
修(xiu)復后的百(bai)子(zi)(zi)洞供奉的是觀(guan)世(shi)音菩薩,是歷史上方圓百(bai)里(li)的百(bai)姓求子(zi)(zi)的圣地(di)。原來洞內塑有一百(bai)個泥(ni)塑娃娃,栩栩如生(sheng)。據說,凡有渴(ke)望(wang)生(sheng)子(zi)(zi)的香客拜過觀(guan)世(shi)音菩薩,愛撫過泥(ni)塑娃娃就(jiu)能(neng)喜得(de)貴子(zi)(zi)。
相傳,1937年春,紅(hong)西路(lu)軍某位首長兵(bing)敗河(he)西只身東返時,為避馬匪,曾(ceng)在百子(zi)洞藏身。位于北武當(dang)山(shan)(shan)的大(da)成(cheng)殿(dian)雄居其上,殿(dian)堂里供奉(feng)的是我國古代文士的鼻祖、儒家文化(hua)集大(da)成(cheng)者孔(kong)子(zi),以期教化(hua)地(di)方,影響世(shi)風。站在山(shan)(shan)頂,永昌山(shan)(shan)河(he)盡收眼底。藍天(tian)、碧(bi)野(ye),鱗次櫛比的建(jian)筑群落、蒼遠雄渾的祁連峻峰,無(wu)不使人感到親(qin)切和(he)自豪。
風景特色
北(bei)武當山(shan)上(shang)(shang)是北(bei)海子公園風景區的(de)(de)重要組成部分,登(deng)臨山(shan)頂向(xiang)南俯瞰,永昌縣城猶如綠樹(shu)碧水圍(wei)攏(long)起來的(de)(de)一(yi)顆翡(fei)翠,閃(shan)(shan)閃(shan)(shan)發光,呈金盆(pen)養魚之勢。向(xiang)北(bei)遠眺,龍首山(shan)峰巒多(duo)姿,氣勢磅(bang)礴,谷壑幽深,峭峰怪石凌空欲飛。北(bei)武當山(shan)上(shang)(shang),自下而(er)上(shang)(shang)點綴著(zhu)一(yi)座座風姿不同,古(gu)樸典(dian)雅的(de)(de)仿(fang)古(gu)建筑,由1100個臺階相通,那里香煙繚繞,鐘磬微(wei)微(wei);山(shan)腰,新栽種的(de)(de)松柏諸(zhu)樹(shu),細(xi)枝(zhi)嫩葉,茁長成長;山(shan)間(jian)(jian),每當大雨(yu)過(guo)后,洪流一(yi)泄千丈,站在澗口向(xiang)上(shang)(shang)望去,頗有“黃河之水天上(shang)(shang)來”的(de)(de)氣魄,令人(ren)心弦撼動。還有著(zhu)名的(de)(de)形態各異的(de)(de)“北(bei)山(shan)伏(fu)獅”隱居其間(jian)(jian);山(shan)腳,金川(chuan)河由西向(xiang)東,蜿蜒逶迤,清澈見底(di)的(de)(de)河水猶如一(yi)條潔(jie)白的(de)(de)玉(yu)帶,彎彎曲(qu)曲(qu)穿過(guo)公園,湍(tuan)急奔放,流入金川(chuan)峽水庫。
