九龍潭(tan)自然風景(jing)(jing)區位于興隆縣城南13公(gong)里(li)處,它(ta)位于京、津、唐、承四市的結合部(bu),距北京150公(gong)里(li),承德130公(gong)里(li)。景(jing)(jing)區分為一奇、三峽、九潭(tan)、八大景(jing)(jing)觀,五十(shi)多個景(jing)(jing)點(dian)。
比較著名的太(tai)(tai)極八卦井深8.6米,無水,堪(kan)稱(cheng)(cheng)九龍一奇。嚴冬,井內酷熱如蒸(zheng);炎(yan)夏,井內凝寒結冰。此井融陰陽之(zhi)變,容水火之(zhi)功(gong),同冰碳之(zhi)異,冬則生暖,夏則凝寒,地脈(mo)靈泉,神妙莫測(ce),故稱(cheng)(cheng)太(tai)(tai)極八卦井。
2020年2月(yue),為(wei)表達對廣大醫務(wu)工作者(zhe)的敬(jing)意,景區將在(zai)疫(yi)情結束并恢復(fu)經營后(hou)向醫務(wu)人員優(you)惠開放。
羚(ling)羊(yang)(yang)峽(xia)谷區,懸崖(ya)峭壁勢如(ru)刀(dao)劈斧(fu)(fu)削,谷內奇峰林立(li),高聳入云,怪(guai)石橫生,造(zao)(zao)型奇特,有(you)鬼斧(fu)(fu)神工之妙。如(ru)果你細心觀(guan)察不難發現,兩邊(bian)的山崖(ya)似(si)乎能合(he)在一(yi)起(qi),仰首望天(tian),只有(you)一(yi)線寬(kuan)。從地質構造(zao)(zao)上(shang)說,這是一(yi)億四千萬(wan)年前燕(yan)山造(zao)(zao)山運動形成的一(yi)道(dao)大裂谷,故爾(er)如(ru)刀(dao)劈斧(fu)(fu)削。傳說龍(long)王開潭時,將龍(long)鱗化為萬(wan)只羚(ling)羊(yang)(yang),日夜在龍(long)潭險崖(ya)上(shang)巡(xun)守(shou),它們居住在這條大峽(xia)谷中繁衍生息,因此人稱“龍(long)羚(ling)谷”也叫“羚(ling)羊(yang)(yang)大峽(xia)谷”。。羚(ling)羊(yang)(yang)峽(xia)谷主要景(jing)點有(you)九個:雙獅崖(ya)、小石林、臥虎峰、拇指峰、仙翁棋臺、通(tong)天(tian)河瀑布、黃鷹晾翅崖(ya)、神龜(gui)戲(xi)水和(he)龍(long)門。
前(qian)(qian)面這塊巨(ju)(ju)石有兩丈見(jian)(jian)方(fang),方(fang)方(fang)正正厚(hou)厚(hou)實實,真(zhen)是萬年(nian)盤石。這塊巨(ju)(ju)石叫(jiao)“仙(xian)(xian)(xian)翁(weng)棋(qi)(qi)(qi)臺(tai)”,最早是“龍(long)(long)王(wang)點(dian)將臺(tai)”。相傳(chuan),在(zai)龍(long)(long)王(wang)開(kai)辟九龍(long)(long)潭(tan)時,每天在(zai)此(ci)(ci)巨(ju)(ju)石上分(fen)兵點(dian)將,龍(long)(long)潭(tan)開(kai)辟完(wan)(wan)畢(bi),此(ci)(ci)臺(tai)閑置無用。由于(yu)(yu)臺(tai)的(de)(de)周圍環境清(qing)新幽(you)靜(jing),引來許多神仙(xian)(xian)(xian)在(zai)此(ci)(ci)下棋(qi)(qi)(qi),因(yin)此(ci)(ci)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)們又(you)稱它(ta)為“仙(xian)(xian)(xian)翁(weng)棋(qi)(qi)(qi)臺(tai)”。傳(chuan)說古時有一(yi)位青(qing)年(nian)到(dao)(dao)(dao)山里(li)砍(kan)柴(chai),看見(jian)(jian)兩位鶴(he)發童顏的(de)(de)老(lao)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)在(zai)此(ci)(ci)下棋(qi)(qi)(qi),便看了一(yi)會兒。忽(hu)覺(jue)腹中饑餓(e),就拾起地(di)上仙(xian)(xian)(xian)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)吃(chi)剩(sheng)下的(de)(de)幾枚(mei)桃(tao)核充饑。直(zhi)到(dao)(dao)(dao)午后,日(ri)已西沉(chen),仙(xian)(xian)(xian)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)下完(wan)(wan)棋(qi)(qi)(qi),青(qing)年(nian)才出(chu)山。到(dao)(dao)(dao)了村里(li),村里(li)的(de)(de)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)他(ta)一(yi)個(ge)也不認識了。問自家(jia)門前(qian)(qian)一(yi)位白(bai)發老(lao)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren),老(lao)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)說他(ta)有一(yi)位老(lao)祖爺(ye)爺(ye)入山砍(kan)柴(chai)至今未歸。青(qing)年(nian)方(fang)知(zhi)自己遇到(dao)(dao)(dao)了仙(xian)(xian)(xian)人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)。真(zhen)是“山中方(fang)一(yi)日(ri),世上已千年(nian)”。青(qing)年(nian)復又(you)入山修道,終于(yu)(yu)修煉成仙(xian)(xian)(xian)。到(dao)(dao)(dao)“仙(xian)(xian)(xian)翁(weng)棋(qi)(qi)(qi)臺(tai)”上走(zou)一(yi)走(zou),有道是“仙(xian)(xian)(xian)翁(weng)棋(qi)(qi)(qi)臺(tai)走(zou)一(yi)走(zou),人(ren)(ren)(ren)(ren)能活(huo)到(dao)(dao)(dao)九十九”。
通天(tian)洞河(he)(he)瀑布自(zi)下而望,瀑口形如古(gu)井,橫紋(wen)層巖,狀似(si)馬蹄;上(shang)有(you)藍天(tian),水(shui)來(lai)無源;飛瀑下注,甕聲甕氣;仿佛水(shui)從(cong)天(tian)上(shang)來(lai),與(yu)井壁形成共鳴(ming),水(shui)聲嘩(hua)嘩(hua),悅(yue)耳動聽,婉如編(bian)鐘(zhong)古(gu)罄。傳說通天(tian)河(he)(he)瀑布是九(jiu)個龍子外出必經之路,九(jiu)龍必須從(cong)此逆流而上(shang),騰空直上(shang)云霄間,然后才能遨游太空,因此這條瀑布就叫通天(tian)河(he)(he)瀑布,其水(shui)來(lai)無源去無跡。
崖呈黃色(se),中間是(shi)黃鷹的頭(tou)和腹,兩邊是(shi)展(zhan)開的雙翅(chi),恰(qia)似一只巨大的黃鷹,展(zhan)開垂天之翼(yi),迎著(zhu)朝(chao)陽,沐著(zhu)雨露,晾曬著(zhu)雙翅(chi)。給人以“昆(kun)鵬展(zhan)翅(chi)九萬里”的威武(wu)與雄壯(zhuang)感。
山(shan)如龜(gui)(gui)(gui)(gui)殼,坡(po)度平緩,那條(tiao)黑乎乎的長圓(yuan)巨石形似龜(gui)(gui)(gui)(gui)頭伸向河(he)中,整體看(kan)來猶如神龜(gui)(gui)(gui)(gui)戲水;右邊山(shan)崖上還有個(ge)洞,就是“龜(gui)(gui)(gui)(gui)相(xiang)洞”。相(xiang)傳,龍(long)(long)王(wang)在開潭(tan)后東行(xing),臨行(xing)前囑咐誠實的龜(gui)(gui)(gui)(gui)丞(cheng)相(xiang)在這里細心(xin)記錄每一個(ge)進入(ru)龍(long)(long)門者(zhe)的行(xing)為(wei),守(shou)衛龍(long)(long)潭(tan)。老龜(gui)(gui)(gui)(gui)丞(cheng)相(xiang)為(wei)了(le)提醒進入(ru)龍(long)(long)潭(tan)峽谷的人,便施法術,把(ba)這座山(shan)化(hua)為(wei)背殼,把(ba)那塊巨石化(hua)為(wei)自己的頭形,監視行(xing)人,自己卻隱身于右面的洞中,暗(an)自記錄每一個(ge)過往(wang)行(xing)者(zhe)。請看(kan)老龜(gui)(gui)(gui)(gui)丞(cheng)相(xiang)幾(ji)萬年來仍在這里,為(wei)看(kan)守(shou)九龍(long)(long)潭(tan)盡職盡責。
龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men),它是龍(long)(long)潭(tan)之(zhi)門(men)(men)(men),也(ye)是“羚羊峽(xia)谷(gu)”與“九龍(long)(long)潭(tan)峽(xia)谷(gu)”的分界,過(guo)了龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)就(jiu)是“九龍(long)(long)潭(tan)峽(xia)谷(gu)”和(he)“老君洞峽(xia)谷(gu)”了,正所謂(wei)“龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)”分三峽(xia)。傳說鯉魚躍上龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)就(jiu)會變為龍(long)(long),故有“魚躍龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)”的成語。正因為龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)難躍,才(cai)(cai)險峻如刀劈斧削。龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)長年(nian)半開(kai)半閉,使(shi)行人至(zhi)此有“山重水(shui)復疑無路”之(zhi)感(gan)。龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)上有雞(ji)冠石(shi),似(si)在(zai)提(ti)醒守門(men)(men)(men)衛士,雞(ji)鳴天(tian)亮才(cai)(cai)可開(kai)門(men)(men)(men)放行。古時人們常來這(zhe)時觀察(cha)龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)來預測一年(nian)天(tian)氣(qi)變化,留下民諺:“立(li)(li)春頭(tou)(tou)道龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)霧,春種雨水(shui)足(zu);立(li)(li)夏頭(tou)(tou)道龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)干,一夏天(tian)盡旱;立(li)(li)秋頭(tou)(tou)道龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)風,今秋五谷(gu)豐;立(li)(li)冬頭(tou)(tou)道龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)雪,明(ming)年(nian)好年(nian)月。”
所謂(wei)“九龍(long)大峽(xia)谷”乃因谷中有九龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)而得名,谷內有睚眥潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、囚牛潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、蒲(pu)牢潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、嘲風潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、狻(suan)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)、鴟吻(wen)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)九道龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan),外加神猿(yuan)通天壁、龍(long)女(nv)瑤、將軍峰、水(shui)漫(man)平石川(chuan)、獸頭峰等景點。
靠近頭道龍潭,原(yuan)來還有座(zuo)龍王廟(miao)(miao),古時香火很(hen)盛(sheng),四季不斷。尤其到了大旱之年,不算大的(de)龍王廟(miao)(miao)香煙繚繞,一派神秘仙(xian)氣。求雨者排成隊,有時長(chang)達數(shu)里之遙。據考證,這座(zuo)龍王廟(miao)(miao)最晚也是(shi)明代建筑(zhu),它依(yi)山傍水,廟(miao)(miao)中供奉的(de)主神就是(shi)開辟九龍潭的(de)“老龍王”。
如(ru)今(jin)已(yi)見(jian)不到古時(shi)人(ren)(ren)(ren)們(men)求雨(yu)的(de)熱鬧場面了,而古時(shi)由于人(ren)(ren)(ren)們(men)迷信,一(yi)(yi)到干(gan)旱少雨(yu)季節,方圓百里(li)的(de)人(ren)(ren)(ren)全(quan)要(yao)到九(jiu)龍潭(tan)向龍王求雨(yu)。求雨(yu)的(de)隊伍(wu)里(li)不能有女人(ren)(ren)(ren),而男(nan)人(ren)(ren)(ren)們(men)全(quan)要(yao)赤背排成長(chang)隊,三步(bu)一(yi)(yi)拜(bai),五步(bu)一(yi)(yi)叩,將全(quan)羊全(quan)豬等祭(ji)品(pin)抬(tai)至潭(tan)前,經過幾天祭(ji)拜(bai),把祭(ji)品(pin)全(quan)部沉于潭(tan)中(zhong),據說如(ru)果潭(tan)上冒起白氣,天就(jiu)(jiu)會下(xia)雨(yu)了。趕(gan)上大旱之年(nian)有時(shi)一(yi)(yi)鬧就(jiu)(jiu)是幾十(shi)天,這種鬧劇使九(jiu)龍潭(tan)至今(jin)仍然充滿神秘色彩(cai)。
在(zai)(zai)龍(long)王(wang)廟求雨所祭之潭(tan)(tan)為第一潭(tan)(tan),潭(tan)(tan)名睚(ya)(ya)眥(zi)(zi)(zi)(zi)。它是龍(long)王(wang)第二子(zi),由(you)于生性好斗(dou),且好殺戮,恩怨(yuan)分(fen)(fen)明,睚(ya)(ya)眥(zi)(zi)(zi)(zi)必報,龍(long)王(wang)便把它的(de)潭(tan)(tan)府開在(zai)(zai)第一位,以(yi)守衛龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)門戶。正因如此(ci),睚(ya)(ya)眥(zi)(zi)(zi)(zi)常被人們刻(ke)在(zai)(zai)刀劍柄(bing)上為標(biao)志,以(yi)增加殺氣。傳(chuan)(chuan)說(shuo)睚(ya)(ya)眥(zi)(zi)(zi)(zi)恩怨(yuan)分(fen)(fen)明,有求必應,但卻得(de)罪(zui)不得(de)。據(ju)傳(chuan)(chuan),龍(long)窩村有幾(ji)個村民用炸藥在(zai)(zai)睚(ya)(ya)眥(zi)(zi)(zi)(zi)潭(tan)(tan)炸魚(yu),結(jie)果走在(zai)(zai)路上就(jiu)下起(qi)暴雨,冰雹(bao)齊下,打來的(de)魚(yu)全跑(pao)光,村里遭了雹(bao)災(zai),顆粒無收。這也許是巧合,不過(guo)自從那時起(qi),睚(ya)(ya)眥(zi)(zi)(zi)(zi)潭(tan)(tan)便石封(feng)沙(sha)鎖,一閉(bi)至今,不再開潭(tan)(tan)。傳(chuan)(chuan)說(shuo)睚(ya)(ya)眥(zi)(zi)(zi)(zi)潭(tan)(tan)水(shui)有避鬼魅、祛邪祟(sui)的(de)作用,若不是如今趕上閉(bi)潭(tan)(tan),可取水(shui)洗臉(lian)或食(shi)用,以(yi)避邪祟(sui)。
第二道(dao)龍潭叫“囚牛(niu)潭”,潭底為(wei)白巖,潭形如臥鐘,瀑布(bu)如鐘鈕。潭水清澈見底,游魚可(ke)見。千年(nian)萬年(nian)水石(shi)相擊,使潭上小(xiao)溪(xi)形如水渠,齊如刀劈斧(fu)削,下注(zhu)龍潭,嘩嘩作(zuo)(zuo)響(xiang)。傳(chuan)說(shuo)龍生九子各有所好(hao),“囚牛(niu)”是龍王長子,性喜音樂,終日操琴,故(gu)龍王把(ba)它安排在遠離弟兄之處,既可(ke)守衛(wei)龍門,又(you)可(ke)遠避嫌怨。由(you)于“囚牛(niu)”愛好(hao)音樂,常(chang)被(bei)人刻在胡(hu)琴上作(zuo)(zuo)為(wei)標志。
這道龍潭的瀑布多(duo)有氣(qi)勢,這是第三潭,名叫“蒲牢潭”,是龍王的第三子,一道飛(fei)瀑切開懸崖,形成高丈,寬不足2米(mi)的缺口(kou),瀑流飛(fei)瀉,下(xia)注清潭,飛(fei)花(hua)碎(sui)玉,水聲(sheng)轟鳴(ming)。潭聲(sheng)如(ru)鐘(zhong)馨齊(qi)鳴(ming),八音齊(qi)奏(zou)。潭形如(ru)扇(shan)面(mian),潭闊水深,汪(wang)汪(wang)一碧,但仍清澈見底,游魚細石(shi)直視(shi)無礙。蒲牢好(hao)鳴(ming),日出(chu)即鳴(ming),月出(chu)亦吟(yin),如(ru)一位(wei)男中音歌(ge)者,所以每當人們夜(ye)深人靜時(shi)來(lai)到“蒲牢潭”前,便可聽到它如(ru)八音齊(qi)奏(zou)的悅耳聲(sheng)音。由(you)于“蒲牢”好(hao)鳴(ming),常被人們刻在鐘(zhong)鈕上以為標(biao)志。
在(zai)莆牢潭(tan)的(de)左(zuo)面另(ling)有(you)(you)一道(dao)峽谷(gu),似較寬(kuan)闊,綠松滿坡,清(qing)流(liu)遠來(lai),飛落(luo)瑤池,與浦牢之水(shui)交匯流(liu)向第二潭(tan)――囚牛潭(tan),人稱“龍(long)(long)女(nv)瑤”。它和(he)各(ge)位兄長既(ji)山水(shui)不(bu)斷,親(qin)緣相連,又(you)獨谷(gu)秀瑤,景色(se)雋秀,雖然(ran)龍(long)(long)女(nv)侍奉(feng)觀音菩薩在(zai)南海,但(dan)瑤瀑依然(ran)整理得清(qing)潔(jie)雅致,另(ling)有(you)(you)幽雅情(qing)(qing)趣,看瀑流(liu)順峽谷(gu)飛瀉而下,被扯成絲絲縷縷,紛披如(ru)(ru)簾,水(shui)如(ru)(ru)柔情(qing)(qing)。傳(chuan)說(shuo)龍(long)(long)女(nv)掌管(guan)龍(long)(long)王珠藏,龍(long)(long)女(nv)喜吃(chi)燒燕(yan),梁武帝曾以燒燕(yan)獻(xian)龍(long)(long)女(nv),龍(long)(long)女(nv)食(shi)之大(da)喜,以大(da)珠三、小珠七、雜(za)珠一石來(lai)報答(da)梁武帝。
百(bai)丈(zhang)黃崖(ya),壁立千仞(ren),高聳入云,勢如斧劈,名神猿通天壁,崖(ya)上為猿猴(hou)(hou)(hou)常居(ju)之(zhi)地,別看(kan)這百(bai)丈(zhang)黃崖(ya)人無法爬上,猿猴(hou)(hou)(hou)卻可如飛(fei)(fei)攀援而上。幾年前,有一村(cun)民(min)用獵槍(qiang)打傷一只獼(mi)猴(hou)(hou)(hou),眾獼(mi)猴(hou)(hou)(hou)見其未死,飛(fei)(fei)速爬下,抬(tai)起(qi)傷者(zhe)飛(fei)(fei)速爬上絕壁,村(cun)民(min)追之(zhi)不(bu)及,只好任其逃掉。崖(ya)頂(ding)也有獼(mi)猴(hou)(hou)(hou)居(ju)住(zhu),不(bu)過由于有游人,不(bu)敢下來(lai)玩耍。由于這面山崖(ya)只有猿猴(hou)(hou)(hou)能(neng)上,所以稱這面崖(ya)壁為“神猿通天壁”。
順著(zhu)龍女瑤往上方遠看,那座險峰(feng)形(xing)如將軍頭盔,上有(you)一(yi)顆(ke)松樹又似盔上簪纓,高大威(wei)武,氣度非凡,我們稱它(ta)為(wei)(wei)將軍峰(feng),似一(yi)位天神(shen)下凡,化為(wei)(wei)將軍,守衛著(zhu)這九(jiu)龍大峽谷。
順鐵梯棧(zhan)道上(shang)行,可(ke)以(yi)欣賞到最純(chun)凈(jing)的(de)(de)嘲(chao)(chao)風(feng)潭(tan)(tan),嘲(chao)(chao)風(feng)是龍王的(de)(de)第(di)四子。嘲(chao)(chao)風(feng)潭(tan)(tan)是潭(tan)(tan)上(shang)之潭(tan)(tan),峽中(zhong)之潭(tan)(tan),碧水(shui)切開崖壁,形(xing)如(ru)(ru)人(ren)工所鑿之石渠,下注嘲(chao)(chao)風(feng),夾潭(tan)(tan)石峽高可(ke)幾十丈(zhang),潭(tan)(tan)形(xing)似(si)大(da)(da)甕,上(shang)有(you)入(ru)口(kou),下有(you)出口(kou),又以(yi)酒胡(hu)蘆(lu)。仰視天空僅如(ru)(ru)井口(kou),俯視潭(tan)(tan)面,碧水(shui)清清如(ru)(ru)水(shui)晶,山光云(yun)影(ying)倒映如(ru)(ru)畫。潭(tan)(tan)底(di)系(xi)整個白石,沙礫皆無(wu),純(chun)凈(jing)無(wu)比,游魚往來,引人(ren)艷羨。龍王根據嘲(chao)(chao)風(feng)好險的(de)(de)性格,才(cai)給它安排了(le)這處奇絕險怪(guai)的(de)(de)潭(tan)(tan)府。正因嘲(chao)(chao)風(feng)好險,常(chang)被人(ren)們把其(qi)形(xing)象刻在大(da)(da)殿的(de)(de)屋(wu)角上(shang),以(yi)鎮殿脊(ji)。嘲(chao)(chao)風(feng)潭(tan)(tan)據傳說是很有(you)靈驗的(de)(de)龍潭(tan)(tan),村民常(chang)來這里求(qiu)雨(yu),有(you)求(qiu)必應。
沿鐵梯棧道(dao)而上(shang)到兩山之間的過橋上(shang),我(wo)們可以游賞(shang)到第五(wu)潭(tan),名(ming)叫狁猊(ni)潭(tan)。是一個長形(xing)狹窄(zhai)的小(xiao)潭(tan),水(shui)清潭(tan)靜,微波不起,平(ping)展如鏡(jing),寧靜無聲。狁猊(ni)喜靜坐,所以常被(bei)人(ren)們刻在佛座(zuo)上(shang),以為標(biao)志。
霸(ba)(ba)下(xia)潭(tan)上口半圓形,如門緊閉,潭(tan)形如鏡,潭(tan)面較闊,左靠懸崖,右近絕壁,萬重大(da)山壓下(xia),千道巨(ju)嶺相連。霸(ba)(ba)下(xia)是(shi)龍(long)王的(de)第六子,性喜負重,龍(long)王就把它的(de)潭(tan)府開在通(tong)天入云的(de)懸崖絕壁下(xia),潺潺流水匯其下(xia),萬千巨(ju)峰壓其上,“霸(ba)(ba)下(xia)”居(ju)此(ci)安居(ju)樂業。由于“霸(ba)(ba)下(xia)”好負重,形似巨(ju)龜,常(chang)被(bei)人們(men)刻在碑(bei)座上,但常(chang)又被(bei)不識(shi)者(zhe)誤認為龜馱石碑(bei)。
沿峽谷(gu)艱難前行,兩岸(an)懸崖奇險(xian)無(wu)比,崖上(shang)原始灌木(mu)叢生。約(yue)行一二里,可(ke)見夾岸(an)崖下(xia)一道碧潭(tan),潭(tan)平如(ru)鏡,潭(tan)底為(wei)整潔如(ru)玉(yu)的一塊(kuai)白(bai)石,平坦(tan)如(ru)砥(di),水清見底,兩峽夾峙,險(xian)峻異常。狴犴(an)是龍王第七(qi)子,辦事(shi)公(gong)正,喜理訟案。民間流傳諺語:“訟事(shi)到(dao)潭(tan)前,公(gong)道找狴犴(an);是非何用問,潭(tan)影自分辨。”因(yin)此,狴犴(an)常被人們(men)刻在監(jian)獄門(men)上(shang),形狀似虎(hu),象征公(gong)正廉明(ming)。
繞過僅(jin)一(yi)尺(chi)寬的崖路,前面是(shi)第八道龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)“赑bì屃xì潭(tan)(tan)(tan)”。赑屃是(shi)龍(long)王(wang)八子,喜歡舞(wu)文弄墨,所(suo)以(yi)龍(long)王(wang)開潭(tan)(tan)(tan)時,使其潭(tan)(tan)(tan)形如(ru)巨硯,潭(tan)(tan)(tan)邊巖石多紋。群峰(feng)夾峙,上似懸鐘(zhong)覆蓋,下似殘月(yue)半圓(yuan),瀑流瀉入,山鳴谷應,空谷傳響,別有幽(you)趣。潭(tan)(tan)(tan)水(shui)清(qing)清(qing),碧(bi)如(ru)翡(fei)翠,給人(ren)以(yi)晶瑩如(ru)女(nv)兒(er)綠之(zhi)感(gan)。相傳此(ci)作此(ci)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)水(shui)沐浴,一(yi)定能寫出世間錦繡文章,天下絕妙詩(shi)賦。因此(ci),赑bì屃xì常被人(ren)刻在石碑頂或(huo)邊緣上,作為裝飾花紋。
第九道龍(long)潭(tan),也(ye)是最后一(yi)道龍(long)潭(tan)──鴟吻潭(tan),必須攀崖牽(qian)藤,游蕩而過。由于龍(long)王第九子“鴟吻”善吞(tun)(tun)好水(shui),龍(long)王就把(ba)它安排在最后,所(suo)有九潭(tan)之(zhi)水(shui)均由其(qi)腹中包(bao)藏,由其(qi)口中吞(tun)(tun)吐。大有“腹盛龍(long)潭(tan)千鐘水(shui),口吞(tun)(tun)峽谷(gu)萬重山”之(zhi)勢(shi)。由于鴟吻好水(shui),常(chang)被人們(men)刻(ke)在橋(qiao)梁(liang)上,作為鎮水(shui)獸。飛瀑入(ru)潭(tan),山光水(shui)光,樹影(ying)云影(ying),詩情畫意,天籟悠悠。
九龍(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)大峽谷(gu)(gu)的(de)最(zui)后(hou)一景是(shi)“龍(long)(long)水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)源瀑(pu)(pu)(pu)(pu)布(bu)”。位于九龍(long)(long)峽谷(gu)(gu)的(de)最(zui)后(hou)部。這里山(shan)陡(dou)林密(mi),四(si)季(ji)風光各異。一億(yi)四(si)千萬年前燕山(shan)造山(shan)運動,使這里有一股地下(xia)(xia)巖隙水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)噴薄而出,萬古(gu)不(bu)竭(jie)的(de)泉水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)從山(shan)崖(ya)上落下(xia)(xia),飛(fei)花碎玉,晶瑩多芒,宛如(ru)(ru)楊花柳絮,飄(piao)(piao)飄(piao)(piao)蕩蕩,生機勃勃。飛(fei)瀑(pu)(pu)(pu)(pu)入潭(tan)(tan),回清倒影(ying),良(liang)多趣味。相傳這瀑(pu)(pu)(pu)(pu)布(bu)是(shi)在龍(long)(long)王開(kai)辟九龍(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)時(shi),怕有一天潭(tan)(tan)水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)會干(gan),便(bian)長(chang)(chang)年引來四(si)海之(zhi)水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui),水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)來龍(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)后(hou),眾生全求之(zhi)于它(ta),龍(long)(long)王又愁如(ru)(ru)何分配,思考再三(san),最(zui)后(hou)決定,把水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)灑在千山(shan)萬谷(gu)(gu)之(zhi)中。除去眾生所需(xu),余下(xia)(xia)的(de)匯流于龍(long)(long)水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)源。為一見之(zhi)下(xia)(xia)可知水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)量,又開(kai)辟了(le)“龍(long)(long)水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)源瀑(pu)(pu)(pu)(pu)布(bu)”。“飛(fei)瀑(pu)(pu)(pu)(pu)之(zhi)下(xia)(xia),必有深潭(tan)(tan)”,因此,九道龍(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)長(chang)(chang)年水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)量充(chong)足,如(ru)(ru)九星聯珠(zhu),蔚為古(gu)今奇觀。
這口井(jing)就是(shi)天(tian)下奇(qi)觀(guan)──太極(ji)八(ba)卦(gua)(gua)井(jing)。井(jing)深8米,是(shi)一(yi)口枯井(jing)。這口井(jing)的神(shen)奇(qi)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)處(chu)不在水,而(er)在于它的神(shen)奇(qi)變化。每(mei)當(dang)冬(dong)季(ji)到來(lai)的時(shi)候,井(jing)內(nei)溫熱如夏(xia),時(shi)有(you)騰騰白氣(qi)自井(jing)口冒出(chu)。近觀(guan)則(ze)溫潤撲面,暖人(ren)心(xin)房;遠看(kan)則(ze)云霧氤氳,配以古樸農戶,游人(ren)至(zhi)此,如至(zhi)仙境。時(shi)至(zhi)炎夏(xia),井(jing)內(nei)凝(ning)寒(han)(han)結冰(bing),凜(lin)凜(lin)寒(han)(han)風從井(jing)中吹出(chu),滿院生(sheng)涼。近前則(ze)清冽(lie)襲人(ren),砭(bian)人(ren)肌骨(gu);遠觀(guan)則(ze)綠峰(feng)翠(cui)嶺環(huan)抱,山居古樸,幽思(si)曠渺(miao)。自古陰陽不兩立,水火(huo)不相容,冰(bing)炭不同爐,可是(shi)這口太極(ji)八(ba)卦(gua)(gua)井(jing)則(ze)融陰陽之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)氣(qi),糅(rou)水火(huo)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)功,同冰(bing)炭之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)用,冬(dong)則(ze)生(sheng)暖,夏(xia)則(ze)凝(ning)寒(han)(han);地脈靈泉(quan),神(shen)異如斯(si),自古稀(xi)見。
關于(yu)太(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)極八(ba)卦井(jing),還有個神(shen)秘的傳說。當年(nian)華夏第一(yi)(yi)條祖龍(long)(long)(long)(long)居于(yu)九(jiu)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)潭外龍(long)(long)(long)(long)窩時(shi)(shi)(shi),兒女眾(zhong)多,高朋(peng)滿座(zuo),經常龍(long)(long)(long)(long)子龍(long)(long)(long)(long)孫聚會(hui)(hui),時(shi)(shi)(shi)時(shi)(shi)(shi)神(shen)仙來(lai)訪,晏會(hui)(hui)常開(kai)(kai),山(shan)珍海(hai)(hai)(hai)味常備不時(shi)(shi)(shi)之需。可(ke)是(shi)(shi)冬(dong)天寒(han)冷(leng)食物(wu)變(bian)(bian)硬,夏天炎熱,食物(wu)易腐。這(zhe)(zhe)時(shi)(shi)(shi)太(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)上老君剛剛在九(jiu)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)潭老君洞內修成正果(guo),為了(le)(le)報(bao)答龍(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)給他(ta)找(zhao)的修煉靜地,于(yu)是(shi)(shi)便(bian)將開(kai)(kai)宗創派之寶太(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)極八(ba)卦圖(tu)(tu)畫了(le)(le)副(fu)本,贈與(yu)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)。龍(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)掘(jue)開(kai)(kai)地脈靈泉,把太(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)極八(ba)卦圖(tu)(tu)埋下,開(kai)(kai)創了(le)(le)一(yi)(yi)座(zuo)儲藏山(shan)珍海(hai)(hai)(hai)味的寶庫。太(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)極八(ba)卦圖(tu)(tu)有包(bao)羅萬象顛倒陰(yin)陽之功,這(zhe)(zhe)座(zuo)寶庫冬(dong)天變(bian)(bian)暖,夏天生(sheng)涼(liang)。一(yi)(yi)年(nian)四季(ji),龍(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)都(dou)能吃到鮮嫩的山(shan)珍海(hai)(hai)(hai)味了(le)(le)。后來(lai),大海(hai)(hai)(hai)東移,龍(long)(long)(long)(long)王(wang)在臨行前用法術封存了(le)(le)這(zhe)(zhe)座(zuo)寶庫,只留下一(yi)(yi)個通(tong)氣孔。物(wu)換星移,滄(cang)海(hai)(hai)(hai)桑田,這(zhe)(zhe)通(tong)氣孔被村(cun)民挖井(jing)時(shi)(shi)(shi)偶然找(zhao)到,于(yu)是(shi)(shi)便(bian)成今天的天下一(yi)(yi)大奇觀(guan)──太(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)極八(ba)卦井(jing)。夏季(ji),如果(guo)你(ni)把一(yi)(yi)桶水放入井(jing)中(zhong),一(yi)(yi)夜之間會(hui)(hui)結(jie)成寒(han)冰(bing)(bing);冬(dong)季(ji),你(ni)把一(yi)(yi)塊(kuai)冰(bing)(bing)放入井(jing)中(zhong),它(ta)會(hui)(hui)融化成水。以至這(zhe)(zhe)位農民靠近井(jing)的這(zhe)(zhe)間屋(wu)子都(dou)溫暖如春,即使穿短(duan)褲下到井(jing)內也(ye)不覺寒(han)冷(leng)。不信請朋(peng)友們提出井(jing)中(zhong)的水桶看(kan)一(yi)(yi)看(kan),不看(kan)不知道,一(yi)(yi)看(kan)真奇妙。
這九曲十八彎(wan)的(de)山(shan)道上再回首凝望九龍(long)潭(tan)這片神奇的(de)景(jing)區,看(kan)那云籠霧(wu)罩的(de)群峰與(yu)峽谷,給你以撲朔迷離之美,這就是(shi)九龍(long)峽谷的(de)又(you)一奇觀:霧(wu)鎖峽谷。傳說(shuo)九龍(long)潭(tan)蛇(she)比較多(duo),蛇(she)是(shi)龍(long)的(de)變種,眾蛇(she)所吐之氣(qi),常能封住山(shan)谷,使人感(gan)到神秘(mi)莫測。

免費政策
2020年2月,為表(biao)達對廣大醫務工作(zuo)者的敬意(yi),景區將在疫情結束并恢復經營后(hou)向醫務人員(yuan)免費或優惠(hui)開放(fang)。(具體(ti)優惠(hui)細則以各(ge)景區公告為準)。
九龍潭自然風(feng)景區面積約30平方公里(li),動植(zhi)物(wu)資(zi)源十分豐富,曾(ceng)是清(qing)東陵“后龍風(feng)水禁地”的后封山(shan),山(shan)上(shang)為半原始森林次生狀(zhuang)態,有“京東綠色寶庫”的美(mei)稱。
這(zhe)里山高(gao)林(lin)密,峰奇石秀,峽(xia)谷縱橫,溪潭珠聯,曲徑通幽,景色宜人(ren)。春季(ji):春風(feng)送暖,萬木爭榮(rong),山花爛漫,勝似世外桃源;夏季(ji):千瀑飛(fei)瀉,綠樹成(cheng)蔭,涼風(feng)習(xi)習(xi),猶如人(ren)間仙境;秋(qiu)季(ji):赤橙黃(huang)綠,碩(shuo)果累累,秋(qiu)風(feng)送爽,令人(ren)心曠神(shen)怡;冬季(ji):山舞銀(yin)蛇,銀(yin)裝素(su)裹,冰(bing)川玉瀑,萬樹“梨(li)花”,更是賞心悅目。
九龍(long)風景(jing)(jing)區主線分(fen)羚(ling)羊(yang)峽(xia)谷區、九龍(long)潭(tan)峽(xia)谷區、老君洞峽(xia)谷區和一(yi)處奇觀“太極八卦井”。景(jing)(jing)區內人文景(jing)(jing)觀歷史悠(you)久,龍(long)的文化,神的傳說自成體系。一(yi)億四千(qian)萬(wan)年前的燕山造山運動形成了景(jing)(jing)區內刀劈斧削的大(da)峽(xia)谷,使該景(jing)(jing)區以山、石、林、水潭(tan)著稱,為京東(dong)一(yi)絕。景(jing)(jing)區內山高林密,峰奇石秀,峽(xia)谷縱橫,溪潭(tan)珠聯,曲徑通幽,可謂奇、秀、險、幽兼備(bei),神秘迷人。
相(xiang)傳(chuan)在(zai)(zai)遠古(gu)時代盤古(gu)氏開天辟地后,身化日、月、山(shan)、河等萬物時化有巨龍(long),居于(yu)滄海(hai)(hai)中龍(long)窩,并生(sheng)有一女九(jiu)子(zi)。后來由于(yu)滄海(hai)(hai)變桑田,大海(hai)(hai)東移,龍(long)王(wang)在(zai)(zai)隨(sui)海(hai)(hai)東行前不(bu)愿(yuan)自己的(de)子(zi)女們一路(lu)勞頓,并且九(jiu)子(zi)未修成真正(zheng)龍(long)形之前也不(bu)能全(quan)部隨(sui)行,就在(zai)(zai)龍(long)窩外開辟了九(jiu)道龍(long)潭為(wei)兒女們居住,并以自身之鱗化出鰲、羚、鷹(ying)、魚、蝦、蛇(she)等動(dong)物守衛在(zai)(zai)龍(long)潭左右,一直守衛至今。傳(chuan)說雖虛,不(bu)過(guo)確有龍(long)窩村(cun)、九(jiu)龍(long)潭為(wei)據。興(xing)隆(long)縣(xian)的(de)確在(zai)(zai)史前曾沒于(yu)大海(hai)(hai),為(wei)古(gu)遼海(hai)(hai)。今縣(xian)城南3公里處(chu)紅石砬村(cun)周圍的(de)“紅石砬”,經地質學家鑒(jian)定確實(shi)是海(hai)(hai)底沉積巖(yan)。
