昆明三清閣,位(wei)于太華山(shan)(shan)南面的(de)羅漢山(shan)(shan)。由北向南眺望(wang),山(shan)(shan)形外(wai)廓酷似(si)大肚彌勒,故名羅漢山(shan)(shan)。羅漢山(shan)(shan)懸(xuan)崖峭壁,與南面掛榜山(shan)(shan)千仞(ren)削壁相連,山(shan)(shan)麓下即浩渺滇池。三清閣九層十(shi)一(yi)閣道(dao)觀建筑群,層疊嵌綴于懸(xuan)崖絕壁之上,成(cheng)“懸(xuan)空(kong)寺”險境。
道教(jiao)宮(gong)觀(guan),初為元(yuan)梁王避暑行(xing)宮(gong),明初改(gai)建(jian)(jian)為玉皇閣,后(hou)又增建(jian)(jian)靈(ling)官殿(dian)(dian)、三(san)清殿(dian)(dian)、三(san)豐(feng)殿(dian)(dian)、呂(lv)祖(zu)殿(dian)(dian)、元(yuan)帝殿(dian)(dian)、真武殿(dian)(dian)、七(qi)真殿(dian)(dian)、張仙(xian)殿(dian)(dian)、老(lao)君殿(dian)(dian)、抱一宮(gong)、飛云閣、斗姆閣等(deng),統稱“三(san)清閣”。各(ge)殿(dian)(dian)緣山壁而上,層層疊疊,櫛比鱗次,在建(jian)(jian)筑上頗具特(te)色。從三(san)清閣往上有龍門(men)石(shi)(shi)窟,石(shi)(shi)窟鑿于羅漢崖懸巖(yan)絕壁上,共(gong)有道教(jiao)神像22尊(zun),為全滇最大(da)道教(jiao)石(shi)(shi)窟。
三清(qing)閣南(nan)(nan)庵(an)諸勝,清(qing)道光年間戴(dai)絅孫《昆明(ming)縣志》尚有(you)記(ji)載。至(zhi)民(min)國年間袁嘉谷撰《游西山(shan)記(ji)》時,皆已(yi)傾(qing)圮:“品茗三清(qing)閣,閣,山(shan)之名勝也。吳梅(mei)村詩‘碧雞臺榭(xie)亂云(yun)中,舊是梁王避(bi)暑宮(gong)’,宮(gong)即(ji)閣也。明(ming)時為北(bei)庵(an)諸跡之一。北(bei)庵(an)對南(nan)(nan)庵(an)而(er)言,南(nan)(nan)庵(an)今悉圮。”
半壁起危樓(lou),嶺如(ru)屏,海如(ru)鏡,舟(zhou)如(ru)葉(xie),城郭村落如(ru)畫,況(kuang)四時風月,朝暮晴陰(yin),試問古今游人,誰領(ling)略萬千氣象;
九秋臨絕頂,洞(dong)有(you)云,崖有(you)泉,松(song)有(you)濤,花鳥林壑有(you)情,憶八(ba)載星霜,關河奔走,難得棲遲(chi)故里,來嘯(xiao)傲金碧湖(hu)山。
西山(shan)開(kai)發歷(li)史遺(yi)跡,應該恢復梁王(wang)避暑宮諸(zhu)勝跡,形成羅(luo)漢山(shan)南北(bei)庵上下兩層壁危樓建筑群圣境。
極(ji)目太華高偌大乾(qian)坤撐半壁,
蕩胸滇海闊(kuo)無邊風月倚層樓。
