銅鼓嶂位于豐(feng)順縣(xian)砂田鎮(zhen),海拔高(gao)度1559.5米(mi),為粵(yue)東(dong)第(di)一高(gao)峰(feng)。銅鼓嶂風光秀麗,物(wu)(wu)產豐(feng)饒,如(ru)屏(ping)似(si)嶂的百里峰(feng)巒,綠(lv)樹披翠,竹木成林,植物(wu)(wu)種類復雜多(duo)樣,是觀光游(you)覽(lan)和植物(wu)(wu)學(xue)教學(xue)的理(li)想基地。一片片常(chang)綠(lv)的高(gao)山植物(wu)(wu),人(ren)謂“銅鼓青”,濃陰蔽日,深(shen)邃幽雅。密林深(shen)處(chu)寒蘭叢生,有葉藝(yi)(yi)、花藝(yi)(yi)、奇香等品種。
銅鼓嶂峰(feng)頂平(ping)闊,約有(you)數(shu)畝寬(kuan)的(de)平(ping)地。拂曉(xiao)時置身峰(feng)頂,守候“云(yun)海浮金(jin)”,披霞掛彩,無不(bu)令人(ren)神往!即(ji)便(bian)天氣陰霾,咫尺不(bu)辨,云(yun)遮(zhe)霧涌,無窮(qiong)變幻,亦(yi)有(you)別(bie)樣感受。站立峰(feng)巔,若天氣晴朗,極目(mu)遠眺,溝壑縱(zong)橫,群山(shan)盡伏,梅江(jiang)、韓江(jiang)宛如素練飄向東南,梅州、潮州風光無限!
從銅鼓(gu)嶂峰頂而下約(yue)海拔1200米,有(you)一大草坪,約(yue)有(you)千畝,據說曾(ceng)計劃用(yong)作高(gao)山(shan)機場(chang),地勢(shi)平(ping)坦,花(hua)草豐茂(mao)。大草坪中間,泉水涓(juan)涓(juan)匯入,形(xing)成天(tian)(tian)然(ran)湖(hu)泊。湖(hu)水清(qing)冽(lie)透明(ming),波光(guang)瀲滟,觀之神清(qing)氣爽。訪之鄉(xiang)人,因其(qi)稍下有(you)銅鑼村,故稱此湖(hu)為“銅鑼湖(hu)”。此湖(hu)遇(yu)百年大旱,其(qi)水亦不(bu)(bu)干涸。若遇(yu)多雨年份,茫茫蕩蕩,周圍山(shan)峰,宛(wan)若島嶼(yu),有(you)“水浸銅鼓(gu)頂”之傳聞。長白山(shan)有(you)鏡泊湖(hu),天(tian)(tian)山(shan)有(you)天(tian)(tian)湖(hu),廬山(shan)有(you)如(ru)琴湖(hu),……山(shan)之高(gao)而潤(run)澤(ze),鐘靈毓秀(xiu),造物者不(bu)(bu)負人,功巍巍矣!
銅鼓嶂屬蓮花山脈斷(duan)裂帶,在巖石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)風化、流水侵蝕作用下(xia),隨處(chu)可見千(qian)姿(zi)百態的奇石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)景觀(guan)。人(ren)(ren)們根據其形(xing)象為不少景觀(guan)取(qu)了名字,并賦予(yu)傳(chuan)說。如(ru)玉(yu)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)佛手,說是(shi)雷神將(jiang)軍留(liu)下(xia)的手掌;仙(xian)(xian)(xian)人(ren)(ren)取(qu)寶,說是(shi)仙(xian)(xian)(xian)人(ren)(ren)正在向石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)櫥取(qu)寶,說此處(chu)“金山銀山,仙(xian)(xian)(xian)人(ren)(ren)正搬”;“金龜下(xia)山”,說是(shi)摸一下(xia)平安健康,摸兩下(xia)升官發財;獅(shi)子潭,潭邊有(you)三塊(kuai)酷似獅(shi)子的大(da)(da)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi),謂之(zhi)三獅(shi)望峰(feng);仙(xian)(xian)(xian)人(ren)(ren)疊(die)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi),大(da)(da)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)上面累疊(die)小石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi),再碩大(da)(da)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)塊(kuai)覆(fu)之(zhi),成大(da)(da)、小、更大(da)(da)形(xing)狀,望之(zhi)危然卻不傾倒;仙(xian)(xian)(xian)人(ren)(ren)踏石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi),石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)上有(you)足跡,說是(shi)八仙(xian)(xian)(xian)過(guo)此所留(liu);猴(hou)子抱頸,一石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)宛如(ru)美女站立當道,須如(ru)猴(hou)子般抱住其頸方能過(guo)之(zhi);船(chuan)子潭,兩塊(kuai)如(ru)船(chuan)大(da)(da)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)隱現(xian)潭中(zhong)……
銅鼓嶂山(shan)腰有(you)(you)一(yi)巨瀑(pu),流水從幾百(bai)米(mi)懸崖(ya)峭壁傾瀉而(er)下,匯(hui)成一(yi)潭(tan),其水碧(bi)綠清(qing)澈(che),潭(tan)邊多異木奇花,人(ren)(ren)稱瀑(pu)為(wei)“七(qi)(qi)(qi)情(qing)磜(qi)瀑(pu)”,稱潭(tan)為(wei)“鴛(yuan)鴦(yang)潭(tan)”。此(ci)瀑(pu)此(ci)潭(tan)傳說諸多,有(you)(you)說一(yi)對戀(lian)人(ren)(ren)七(qi)(qi)(qi)次登(deng)上(shang)此(ci)磜(qi) 表(biao)達戀(lian)情(qing);有(you)(you)說一(yi)對戀(lian)人(ren)(ren)在(zai)鴛(yuan)鴦(yang)潭(tan)浸(jin)泡(pao)百(bai)天,表(biao)達百(bai)年(nian)好(hao)合(he);有(you)(you)說此(ci)磜(qi) 出有(you)(you)七(qi)(qi)(qi)個美麗(li)女(nv)人(ren)(ren),人(ren)(ren)稱七(qi)(qi)(qi)花仙女(nv),引來(lai)天下男兒(er)求婚(hun);有(you)(you)說一(yi)對戀(lian)人(ren)(ren)因(yin)婚(hun)姻不(bu)成,殉情(qing)鴛(yuan)鴦(yang)潭(tan)中……據(ju)說,附(fu)近鄉民把到七(qi)(qi)(qi)情(qing)磜(qi) 當作考驗對象的地方,山(shan)歌唱(chang)道:“你愛娶厓(ya)無(wu)柬該(gai),七(qi)(qi)(qi)情(qing)磜(qi)水洗過來(lai)。水清(qing)情(qing)長(chang)連心愛,百(bai)年(nian)好(hao)合(he)正和諧。”“七(qi)(qi)(qi)情(qing)磜(qi) 水清(qing)又(you)清(qing),洗了正知愛淺深。雙(shuang)雙(shuang)立下情(qing)侶愿,海枯石(shi)爛不(bu)變心。”
從砂田鎮登山(shan),歷經22公里(li)的(de)(de)盤田公路,一路奇觀便直逼眼際:那龐大(da)的(de)(de)山(shan)體(ti),聳入云霄(xiao)的(de)(de)高(gao)峰,加上山(shan)脈(mo)間流動(dong)的(de)(de)云潮,已不是(shi)正常(chang)看的(de)(de)“山(shan)”的(de)(de)概念了,分(fen)明是(shi)山(shan)的(de)(de)海(hai)洋、峰的(de)(de)巨浪,“粵東屋(wu)脊”造成(cheng)了驚心動(dong)魄的(de)(de)氣勢。“云無心而(er)出岫”,青黛的(de)(de)山(shan)與(yu)素(su)練(lian)般(ban)的(de)(de)云霧反(fan)復較(jiao)量,構成(cheng)了一幅若(ruo)幻(huan)若(ruo)真山(shan)水寫意畫。銅鼓(gu)嶂為(wei)蓮花山(shan)脈(mo)主峰,因(yin)其(qi)峰頂平闊,渾圓似鼓(gu)得名,并與(yu)潮州鳳(feng)凰山(shan)、梅州陰那山(shan)的(de)(de)五指(zhi)峰形成(cheng)“三(san)峰鼎立”之勢。雄奇嵯(cuo)峨(e)的(de)(de)山(shan)勢,造就了眾多奇石(shi)景觀:有(you)玉石(shi)佛手、仙人取寶、百畝平地、獅子潭、金龜下山(shan)等。
登銅(tong)鼓嶂(zhang)峰頂觀日(ri)(ri)出是(shi)游客興致最濃之(zhi)(zhi)處。凌晨4點從海拔1100米(mi)的(de)(de)(de)銅(tong)鼓嶂(zhang)賓館出來,夜空繁(fan)星(xing)燦爛,啟明(ming)星(xing)如(ru)指路明(ming)燈。行走山(shan)脊之(zhi)(zhi)間(jian),聽(ting)山(shan)風呼嘯,伴明(ming)月同行,別有(you)一(yi)番情(qing)趣(qu)。待(dai)晨曦初露,只(zhi)覺置身(shen)云(yun)海之(zhi)(zhi)間(jian),千(qian)峰萬(wan)(wan)壑云(yun)霧繚(liao)繞,臣拜(bai)于腳(jiao)下。俄頃(qing),東方(fang)的(de)(de)(de)灰調子突然明(ming)快起(qi)來,由弱(ruo)而強,很快變得滿(man)天彩霞(xia),一(yi)輪(lun)紅(hong)日(ri)(ri)在(zai)七(qi)彩斑斕的(de)(de)(de)云(yun)隙間(jian)一(yi)躍而起(qi),好似飄浮在(zai)萬(wan)(wan)頃(qing)波濤之(zhi)(zhi)中,崇山(shan)峻(jun)嶺閃耀著鎏金的(de)(de)(de)光芒,讓人嘆為觀止!
