連州地下河

【溶洞概述】

    各位游客，歡迎大家來(lái)到以“神秘瑰麗”著稱的連州地下河觀光游覽。連州地下河當(dāng)?shù)厝艘舶阉Q之為“大口巖”，我們只要回頭看看剛才我們進(jìn)來(lái)的洞口，“大口巖”的意思也就不言自明了。像如此巨大的溶洞入口，在其它溶洞是難得一見(jiàn)的，巨大的巖口堪稱嶺南洞穴之冠。

    連州地下河觀區(qū)是一個(gè)大型地下暗河溶洞。已經(jīng)開發(fā)的可游面積6萬(wàn)多平方米。洞內(nèi)各種巖溶景觀千姿百態(tài)，神秘瑰麗，地下河就蜿蜒流淌在這巨大的溶洞之內(nèi)，游覽期間如入仙境。游覽連州地下河不僅可以飽覽大自然鬼斧神工造就的神奇夢(mèng)幻般的美景，同時(shí)還可以真實(shí)地領(lǐng)悟到地質(zhì)溶洞等方面的自然科學(xué)知識(shí)。

    洞穴曾經(jīng)是人類的天堂，人類穴居的歷史有數(shù)十萬(wàn)年。洞穴既可為我們遮風(fēng)避雨，還能為人們抵御強(qiáng)敵的侵犯。大家剛才入洞口時(shí)看到的那一道堅(jiān)固的石寨門，還有這段石壘的古寨墻，這就是人們以溶洞作為抵御強(qiáng)敵的天然堡壘的實(shí)物見(jiàn)證。連州地處粵、湘、桂三省(區(qū))的邊陲之地，自古便是兵家必爭(zhēng)之地。從漢唐至明清時(shí)期，不管是朝廷官兵還是嘯聚綠林，都曾在連州留下蹤跡，讓連州百姓飽受了戰(zhàn)亂的滄桑。地下河溶洞就成了人們躲避戰(zhàn)亂的最佳安身之所。大家看這段鐫刻在巖石上的明代年的文字，它真實(shí)地記載了當(dāng)?shù)卮迕窬郾娊Y(jié)會(huì)，避難洞中的情景。

【喀斯特溶洞的成因】

    巖溶洞穴，也叫喀斯特溶洞。喀斯特是碳酸鹽類巖石分布地區(qū)特有的地貌現(xiàn)象，喀斯特是南斯拉夫西北部伊斯得利亞半島的石灰?guī)r高原的地名，19世紀(jì)末，南斯拉夫?qū)W者司威杰首先對(duì)該地區(qū)進(jìn)行研究，并借用喀斯特一詞作為石灰?guī)r地區(qū)一系列作用過(guò)程的現(xiàn)象的總稱，到1966年我國(guó)第二次喀斯特學(xué)術(shù)會(huì)建議將“喀斯特”一詞改為“巖溶”。所以，喀斯特地貌亦稱巖溶地貌。中國(guó)是世界上對(duì)喀斯特地貌現(xiàn)象記述和研究最早的國(guó)家，早在晉代即有記載，以明朝《徐霞客游記》記述最為詳盡。

    巖溶洞穴是在可溶性巖石特別是碳酸鹽巖類的石灰?guī)r和白云巖巖層當(dāng)中，由于水的長(zhǎng)期溶解作用而形成的。自然界的水中含有二氧化碳，當(dāng)含有二氧化碳的水遇到石灰?guī)r時(shí)，就會(huì)發(fā)生碳酸化反應(yīng)，生成碳酸氫鈣，碳酸氫鈣溶解于水，水在石灰?guī)r的裂隙中流動(dòng)，帶走了溶解了的碳酸氫鈣，年長(zhǎng)月久，裂隙便被溶蝕成了這巨大的洞穴。

    我們剛才看到的河沙、鵝卵石，還有這洞壁上的水紋，就是大自然留給后人去印證歷史的痕跡。透過(guò)這此痕跡，我們可以想象到當(dāng)時(shí)水是怎樣將堅(jiān)硬的巖石慢慢溶解，又把它帶走得悄無(wú)聲息……

    各位游客，大自然的鬼斧神工不但為我們打造了奇特的自然景觀。還為我們雕琢了神奇飄渺的神話世界。下面，請(qǐng)大家跟隨我進(jìn)入那大自然為我們雕琢的一段奇妙的神話世界。

   “抬頭一片天，何處有神仙。亙古的傳說(shuō)在耳邊，明月照無(wú)眠。為何冥冥間，總似有前緣。失去的夢(mèng)里把手牽，滄海和桑田。就這樣等候了億萬(wàn)年。”這是新編電視劇《封神榜》的主題歌詞。

    《封神榜》又名《封神演義》。是一部著名的中國(guó)歷史神魔小說(shuō)。《封神榜》神話依托中國(guó)歷史上“周興商滅”為背景，用武王伐紂為時(shí)空線索，從女媧降香開始，到姜子牙封三百六十五位正神結(jié)束。演繹了一段懲惡揚(yáng)善的神話故事。

    大自然的鬼斧神工卻在我們這個(gè)溶洞里，將《封神榜》中虛無(wú)飄渺的眾神像雕鑿得形神備具，將他們傳奇的神話在這溶洞內(nèi)重新演繹一番……

【蟠溪垂釣】、【白猿盜書】

    姜子牙是《封神榜》神話中的傳奇人物。他是個(gè)有雄才大略，胸懷濟(jì)世之志的人，可是一直懷才不遇，自己的抱負(fù)難以施展。他的大半生在窮困潦倒中度過(guò)，他曾經(jīng)宰過(guò)牛，可牛肉發(fā)腐，賣過(guò)豆豉，豆豉竟然發(fā)芽，然后再賣咸魚，可連成魚都翻生，真是倒霉透頂了。

    但姜子牙到了八十歲那年，卻遇到了周文王，被拜封為丞相，幫助武王討伐無(wú)道的商紂王，成就了周朝八百年的基業(yè)。

    據(jù)說(shuō)姜子牙經(jīng)常來(lái)到蟠溪，借垂釣之名觀望時(shí)局，等待能明主，以一展胸中經(jīng)天緯地的抱負(fù)。大家看，這就是垂釣渭水的姜子牙。他蓑衣斗笠，直鉤直釣，口中一面吟詠“寧在直中取，不在曲中求，不為錦鱗設(shè)，只釣王與候”。

    姜子牙身后還坐著他的靈猴白猿。據(jù)說(shuō)姜子牙之所以能掐會(huì)算，預(yù)知過(guò)去將來(lái)，全在于他手上掌握的那本天書，這本天書就是那頭靈異的白猿從女媧娘娘那里盜來(lái)送給姜子牙的。在《封神榜》中稱為“白猿盜書”。大家看這就是那本白猿盜來(lái)的天書。

【天王鎮(zhèn)殿】

    在《封神演義》中，陳塘關(guān)總兵李靖是一位重要的主角。他原是殷商“四人天王”之一，后來(lái)又是文王伐紂的元帥。他的兒子哪吒鬧海，將龍王三太子抽筋剝皮，招來(lái)水淹陳塘關(guān)之禍。李靖逼殺了兒子。哪吒死后，以蓮花復(fù)生，尋父復(fù)仇，李靖不敵，幸遇燃燈古佛贈(zèng)玲瓏寶塔，才能制服哪吒。李靖從此便塔不離手，成為了“托塔李天王”。

    在中國(guó)的寺院佛門中，北方“多聞天王”的前身就是“托塔天王”李靖。在歷史上，天王李靖也真有其人。他是陜西人，唐初名將，唐太宗時(shí)任兵部尚書，因?yàn)樗麘?zhàn)功顯赫，死后封為“衛(wèi)國(guó)公”。據(jù)說(shuō)死后升上天庭，經(jīng)常顯靈解救百姓救危難。百姓為其建廟供奉，“托塔李天王”的形象還被百姓畫在門上，當(dāng)作門神保平安。

    這座神形就是“托塔李天王”。你看他手托“玲瓏寶塔”，正襟危坐鎮(zhèn)守著這封神大殿，保佑各位事事如意，時(shí)時(shí)平安。

【子牙封神】

    姜子牙在完成助周伐紂后，遵元始天尊師命，在封神臺(tái)開榜封神。他一共封了三百六十五位正神，卻沒(méi)封到他自己?？墒敲耖g百姓卻把他看作是神上神，管神的神。因此人們?cè)诮ǚ孔訒r(shí)都要在正中梁上都畫一八卦，上書：“姜太公在此”的字符。據(jù)說(shuō)有了這道字符，就能震懾兇神惡煞，取得平安吉利。

    大家看這封神大殿的中間高高的封神臺(tái)上，姜于牙騎著瑞獸四不象，一手舉令旗，一手拿封神榜文，正在高聲分封諸神。三百六十五位正神聽(tīng)封后，都在這封神殿中各歸其位，保佑進(jìn)殿的各位游客生平安，福祿壽全。大家如果有時(shí)間還可以在這封神殿中找到三百六十五位正神的形象來(lái)。

    各位游客，我們欣賞完了大自然為我們演繹的精彩的“封神演義”后，相信我們每個(gè)游客都會(huì)得到神靈的賜?！，F(xiàn)在請(qǐng)大家隨我離開這虛幻飄渺的仙境神宮，去游覽風(fēng)景如畫的人間美景。

【飛練瀑】

    “晶晶擲巖端，潔光如可把。瓊枝曲不折，雪片晴猶下。石堅(jiān)激清響，葉動(dòng)承馀灑。前時(shí)明月中。見(jiàn)是銀河瀉。”

    這首詩(shī)是唐代大詩(shī)人劉禹錫所作。劉禹錫因參與王叔文的改革運(yùn)動(dòng)失敗，被貶為連州刺史，將近五年，這期間他關(guān)心民間疾苦，改革敝政，興學(xué)重教，為連州甚至嶺南的發(fā)展做了許多貢獻(xiàn)。

    劉禹錫在連州期間曾陪他的少年時(shí)的同學(xué)裴昌禹來(lái)游過(guò)此洞，當(dāng)他們來(lái)到這幅天然大瀑布前時(shí)，不禁大為贊嘆，隨口吟出了剛才那首《飛練瀑》。

【伏波橋】

    呈現(xiàn)在我們眼前的這座潔白晶瑩的玲瓏小橋叫做“伏波橋”。修建伏波橋的材料是產(chǎn)自于連州的漢白玉，“伏波橋”的典故卻體現(xiàn)了連州深厚的歷史文化。

    據(jù)史書記載，西漢時(shí)期，漢武帝派遣衛(wèi)尉路博德率兵駐扎桂陽(yáng)，即今天的連州以監(jiān)視南越國(guó)丞相呂嘉，防其叛亂。路博德到連州后，整頓軍務(wù)，下令士兵屯田自給以備糧餉，并把中原的農(nóng)耕技術(shù)帶到了連州。

    元鼎五年(公元前112年)南越王相呂嘉果然發(fā)動(dòng)叛亂。漢武帝即命駐防于連州的路博德為伏波將軍，率十萬(wàn)樓船水師由連州出發(fā)“出桂陽(yáng)，下湟水”，由水路浩浩蕩蕩南下廣州一舉平定了嶺南。

    “伏波橋”既是對(duì)伏波將軍路博德屯兵連州、威鎮(zhèn)嶺南功績(jī)的緬懷，“伏波”也寓意著波浪平息，乘風(fēng)破浪之意。祝各位游客渡過(guò)伏波橋，事事一帆風(fēng)順，人人步步高丁卜。

【時(shí)空隧道】

    各位游客，中國(guó)古時(shí)，有一句得道成仙之語(yǔ)：“洞中方一日，世上已千年-”這句話人們現(xiàn)在認(rèn)為是純屬烏有，但是在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中確有其事。這正是當(dāng)前歐美科學(xué)界熱衷探索的超自然現(xiàn)象，稱之為“時(shí)空隧道”。從以上這句話也證明在中國(guó)古代可能已發(fā)現(xiàn)“時(shí)空隧道”。

    人們都將前而的這條狹窄的小道稱為“時(shí)空隧道”。時(shí)空遂道的另一邊又會(huì)是一番怎樣的景觀呢？請(qǐng)大家隨我來(lái)穿過(guò)這“時(shí)空隧道”，去欣賞另一番奇異的世界。

【鐘乳石奇觀】

    鐘乳石。又稱石鐘乳，是碳酸鹽巖地區(qū)洞穴內(nèi)在漫長(zhǎng)地質(zhì)歷史中和特定地質(zhì)條件下形成的石鐘乳、石筍、石柱等不同形態(tài)碳酸鈣沉淀物的總稱，它的形成往往需要上萬(wàn)年或幾十萬(wàn)年時(shí)間。由于形成時(shí)間漫長(zhǎng)，鐘乳石對(duì)遠(yuǎn)古地質(zhì)考察有著重要的研究?jī)r(jià)值。連州的鐘乳石資源最豐富，所產(chǎn)的鐘乳石光澤剔透、形狀奇特，具有很高的欣賞價(jià)值和藥用價(jià)值。

    劉禹錫就在《連州刺史廳壁記》中寫道：“山秀而高，靈液滲漉，故石鐘乳為天下甲，歲貢三百銖?！币簿驼f(shuō)早在唐代，連州鐘乳石就是上送朝廷的供品了。

    連州鐘乳石就是上送朝廷的供品，主要用途是作為藥用。鐘乳石是治肺虛、喘急，五勞七傷·髓虛腰疼腳痹，心煩口干、通順血脈的良藥。劉禹錫不但是唐代著名的詩(shī)人，也是當(dāng)時(shí)的名醫(yī)-據(jù)說(shuō)他就曾寄連州鐘乳石給遠(yuǎn)在柳州的好友柳宗元治好了他的肺病。

【岳飛出征】

    南宋時(shí)期的抗金名將岳飛，曾在紹興二年(1132年)領(lǐng)八千精兵在廣西賀州境內(nèi)大破曹成十余萬(wàn)眾于桂嶺，曹成敗走連州，企圖占據(jù)連州作困獸之斗。岳飛隨即派遣張憲等將領(lǐng)屯兵石蘭寨阻擊曹成，自己則率騎兵乘勝追擊，將曹成殘部消滅于連州的鳳頭嶺下。岳飛在廣東攻打曹成速戰(zhàn)速勝，使廣東人民大大減輕了戰(zhàn)亂之苦。

    連州的山水留下了岳家軍的蹤跡，地下河溶洞的石鐘乳也將這段歷史形象地鐫刻在洞中的巖石上。你們看，這是岳飛從軍時(shí)他的母親在他背上刺上“精忠報(bào)國(guó)”四個(gè)大字。這就是岳飛，你看他身披戰(zhàn)袍，昂首挺胸屹站在巖石之巔指揮作戰(zhàn)，那神情是多么的豪邁和指揮若定呀。

【五嶺嶠道】

    從中原進(jìn)入嶺南一定要翻越五嶺山脈。翻越五嶺山口的道路稱為“嶠道”。位于連州北面的騎田嶺嶠道就是古代中原進(jìn)入嶺南的嶠道。秦始皇三十三年(公元前215年)南越王趙陀率兵“過(guò)騎田嶺，下連江”直下番禺(廣州)。

    東漢章帝時(shí)期(約公元76—82年)，大司農(nóng)鄭宏奉命鋪設(shè)這條古道，順頭嶺古道正式成為了秦漢時(shí)期嶺南通往京城的第一要道。

    五嶺嶠道陡峭崎嶇，唐朝元和十年(公元815年)，劉禹錫被貶為連州刺使，翻過(guò)騎田嶺后，不禁感嘆而歌：“桂陽(yáng)嶺，下下復(fù)高高，人稀鳥獸駭，地遠(yuǎn)草木豪，寄言千金子，知余歌者勞?！?/span>

    漢武帝元鼎五年(公元前112年)，漢武帝命伏波將軍路博德率十萬(wàn)樓船水師，  “出桂陽(yáng)·下湟水”一舉平定南越國(guó)丞相呂嘉反叛，走的都是這條路。

【高山流水禹錫吟詩(shī)】

    劉禹錫是唐代著名的詩(shī)人，他與同時(shí)代的柳宗元、白居易齊名，而且是摯友，史稱“劉、柳”和“劉、白”。在《全唐詩(shī)》中，劉禹錫集詩(shī)雖多，被尊為“詩(shī)豪”。貞元九年(805)，劉禹錫因輔助王叔文政治革新失敗，于元和十年二月(公元8 1 5年)被貶來(lái)連州，在連州工作生活了近五年。劉禹錫在連州興學(xué)重教，親自執(zhí)教講學(xué)，開啟了連州一代文風(fēng)，當(dāng)時(shí)荊、楚，吳、越一帶的儒生也趨之若鶩，赴連州求學(xué)。

    劉禹錫也深深愛(ài)上了連州如畫的山水，平均三、四天即有一篇詩(shī)稿問(wèn)世。你看他正興致勃勃地站立在高山之巔，農(nóng)袂飄拂，迎風(fēng)吟哦：“行盡瀟湘萬(wàn)里余，少逢知已憶吾廬。數(shù)問(wèn)茅屋閑臨水，一盞秋燈夜讀書。剡中若問(wèn)連州事，唯有千山畫不如?！?/span>

【神龜賜福】

    我們中國(guó)人信奉“天人感應(yīng)，萬(wàn)物有靈”，把龜與龍、風(fēng)、麟視為神靈之物，稱為“四靈”?！八撵`”之中唯有龜是真實(shí)存在的，常以“靈龜”、“龍龜”、“神龜”、“天黿龜”等來(lái)稱頌龜。人家看，這就是蟄伏在這溶洞里的萬(wàn)年神龜。它雖然已化作巖石，但仍有知有覺(jué)，神靈異常，只要用手觸摸它，就會(huì)賜給你幸運(yùn)和福氣。

    各位游客：連州地下河陸地層是一個(gè)天然的大溶洞，這個(gè)古老神奇的溶洞，讓我們了解了喀斯特溶洞形成的基本成因，讓我們欣賞到了古典名著《封神榜》中的奇異景觀。在溶洞中，我們就像穿越了時(shí)空遂道，欣賞了一幅幅天然雕塑的連州人文歷史和民俗風(fēng)光畫卷。

    現(xiàn)在陸地層的游覽即將結(jié)束，我們馬上就要登上一葉小舟，在槳聲燈影中去欣賞更為神秘瑰麗的地下河景觀了。

【上船碼頭】

    各位游客：我們現(xiàn)在要游覽的是一條地下河流，這條地下河深藏于溶洞之內(nèi)，全長(zhǎng)約1500米。地下河水面寬約1.6～10米，水深1—7米，我們現(xiàn)在是逆水行舟，這條地下河水就是從這個(gè)洞口流出，然后匯入連州的母親河湟川。

    湟川也稱小北江，是珠江流域北江水系的主要支流。大自然的鬼斧神工和歷代遷客騷人把湟川雕塑成了一個(gè)天然的詩(shī)畫長(zhǎng)廊。湟川三峽也是我們愛(ài)地公司的景區(qū)，各位朋友如果有閑情雅趣的話，歡迎到湟川三峽游覽。

    游覽連州地下河也要經(jīng)過(guò)三道美麗的峽谷，三峽兩岸異景奇觀，美不勝收。

【壽星祝?！?/span>

    大家看前面這底潔白晶瑩的石鐘乳，多像一尊壽星公呀，你看他白須飄逸，慈眉善眼，笑容可掬，手托仙桃，仙山緩緩走出人間，向各位游客祈福增壽。

【醒獅坐蓮】

    各位請(qǐng)轉(zhuǎn)身，這尊鐘乳老石壽星現(xiàn)在又變幻成一頭雄獅，你們看它倦足昂首，神態(tài)悠然地坐在層層疊起的蓮花座上。傳說(shuō)這頭醒獅還是當(dāng)年觀音菩薩云游四海，行善八方的坐騎。今天觀音菩薩有事外出，這頭醒獅竟然坐在蓮花寶座上，學(xué)著觀音閑目修行起來(lái)，因此，我們將它稱為“醒獅坐蓮”。

【三峽九曲十八彎】

    地下河由北向南穿越四座山頭，奇石挾著河水轉(zhuǎn)。河水繞著奇石行，一條地下河流折為三峽九曲十八彎。每一道峽都有不同的詩(shī)情畫意，每一個(gè)彎都有不同的神奇?zhèn)髡f(shuō)。真可謂：“河流九曲景觀異，石影倒浸清漣漪，曲曲折折入佳境，彎彎轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)景更奇?！?/span>

【香蕉峽】

    各位游客：我們現(xiàn)在就要進(jìn)入地下河三峽中的第一道峽，稱為“香蕉峽”。香蕉峽是以峽中的鐘乳石就像一梭梭焦黃飄香的香蕉而得名。連州地屬粵北，但在唐宋時(shí)期連州不但盛產(chǎn)香蕉，還盛產(chǎn)荔枝。唐代詩(shī)人盧肇被貶連州時(shí)就曾寫詩(shī)道：“連州萬(wàn)里無(wú)親戚，舊識(shí)唯應(yīng)有荔枝?！彪m然連州現(xiàn)在不是香蕉的產(chǎn)地了。但地下河溶洞中的鐘乳石卻為我們形象地記錄了那一的歷史。

【二龍戲珠】

    在神話傳說(shuō)中，龍是神靈的動(dòng)物。它能呼風(fēng)喚雨，神通廣大。人家看這兩條騰云駕霧的云龍追逐一顆火珠。這就是“二龍戲珠”。傳說(shuō)龍珠也稱為夜明珠，可避水火。這天生地造的“二龍戲珠”在祝愿各位水陸平安，吉祥之意。

【金雞報(bào)曉】

    各位游客：大家看這塊巨大的鐘乳石像什么？對(duì)，就像一只雄雞，你看它引頸高唱，報(bào)曉人間，因此取名為“金雞報(bào)曉”。這正是：“金雞報(bào)曉家家富裕，龍戲?qū)氈槿巳似桨病薄?/span>

【蓮花峽】

    各位游客：現(xiàn)在我們?cè)跓粲皹曋衼?lái)到了地下河的第二道峽——“蓮花峽”。為什么稱蓮花峽呢？大家抬頭看看峽中的景致就能得到答案。對(duì)了，這道峽兩岸的鐘乳石幾乎全部是一朵朵綻開的蓮花。

    “出淤泥而不染，濯清蓮而不妖，中通外直，不蔓不枝，香遠(yuǎn)益清，亭亭靜植，可遠(yuǎn)觀而不可褻玩焉?！贝蠹叶贾肋@是北宋理學(xué)家周敦頤《愛(ài)蓮說(shuō)》中的名句。周敦頤在為廣東提刑時(shí)曾兩次到連州，《愛(ài)蓮說(shuō)》中的名句說(shuō)不定就是在這蓮花峽中悟出的真諦哩。

【溶洞飛瀑】

    現(xiàn)在呈現(xiàn)在我們面前是地下河溶洞的一大奇觀——洞中飛瀑。如此巨大的洞中瀑布在中國(guó)是僅有的。

早在唐代，劉禹錫為連州刺史時(shí)與好友裴昌禹便到地大河溶洞游覽。見(jiàn)到這道瀑布，劉禹錫詩(shī)興大發(fā)，即興吟詩(shī)：“飛流透嵌隙，噴灑如絲棼。含暈迎初旭，翻光破夕曛。余波繞石去，碎響隔溪聞，卻望瓊沙際，遙迤見(jiàn)脈分。”

【龍門峽】

    各位游客：我們現(xiàn)在要穿過(guò)的峽叫“龍門峽”。我相信大家對(duì)“鯉魚跳龍門”的典故都非常的熟悉了。據(jù)說(shuō)龍門在黃河?xùn)|面，每年春季都有許多鯉魚來(lái)跳龍門。能跳過(guò)龍門的可變成龍，跳不過(guò)龍門的就要被天火自后燒焦尾巴，稱為“暴鯉”，有的則被摔破額頭，稱為“點(diǎn)額”。后來(lái)人們也把在科場(chǎng)考試不中的人說(shuō)成是“點(diǎn)額而還”。唐代詩(shī)人李白有詩(shī)曰：“黃河三尺鯉，本在孟津居，點(diǎn)額不成龍，歸來(lái)伴凡魚?！?/span>

    現(xiàn)在我們大家都順利地游過(guò)了“龍門”。祝愿各位今后都能飛黃騰達(dá)，做出不平凡的業(yè)績(jī)，成為不平凡之人。

【龍鱷相斗】

    龍是古代傳說(shuō)中的一種善變化，能興云雨利萬(wàn)物的神異動(dòng)物。為鱗蟲之長(zhǎng)。據(jù)后來(lái)考證者說(shuō)，龍的原型就是鱷魚。龍是神靈的象征，有著至高無(wú)上的地位，享受著萬(wàn)民的伏拜景仰，鱷魚卻成為了兇猛、殘忍、貪吃、賴做的代名詞。鱷魚對(duì)自不公正的待遇非常又滿，對(duì)龍也非常的怨恨，只要碰頭，就是一場(chǎng)惡斗。大家看，地下河中的這條巨龍與鱷魚，它們的惡斗就要一觸即發(fā)了。

【五百羅漢宮】

    各位游客：這里是五百羅漢宮。羅漢，是阿羅漢的簡(jiǎn)稱。意譯上有三層解釋：一說(shuō)可以幫人除去生活中一切煩惱：二說(shuō)可以接受天地間人天供養(yǎng)；三說(shuō)可以幫人不再受輪回之苦。即殺賊、應(yīng)供、無(wú)生，是佛陀得道弟子修正最高的糶位。

佛教在南北朝時(shí)期就已傳到連州，連州現(xiàn)存的慧光塔就是那時(shí)所建。據(jù)說(shuō)修成正果的羅漢有五百個(gè)。這五百羅漢的形象在這羅漢宮都能找到。各位游客只要虔誠(chéng)地找到自己所求的羅漢，他就能幫你除去生活中一切煩惱，為你帶來(lái)福祉。

【望夫石】

    這塊石頭酷似一個(gè)背著小孩的婦人，她在等待著丈夫的歸來(lái)。傳說(shuō)這個(gè)婦人的丈夫以出捕魚為生。有一次丈夫外出后下落不明，音訊全無(wú)。于是，婦人每天背著小孩站在這里，等待丈夫回來(lái)。

    一天，婦人背著小孩如常在山上等候丈夫歸來(lái)，忽然雷電大作，風(fēng)雨交加。第二天，這個(gè)婦人和她的小孩就變成了一塊大石，人們就把這塊石頭稱為“望夫石”。

    連州刺史劉禹錫曾有題望夫石詩(shī)說(shuō)：“終日望夫夫不歸，化為孤石苦相思。望來(lái)已是幾千載，只似當(dāng)時(shí)初望時(shí)?！?/span>

【地下河水源】

    各位游客：我們逆水行舟，馬上就要到達(dá)地下河的入水口了。這條地下河水來(lái)源于盧水，是珠江水系北江的源頭。南北朝時(shí)期的地理學(xué)酈道元在他的《水經(jīng)注》中就有這樣們記載：“洭水出桂陽(yáng)縣盧聚，水出桂陽(yáng)縣西北上驛山盧溪，為盧溪水，東南流徑掛陽(yáng)縣故城，謂之洭水?！?/span>

    在漢代連州曾叫做桂陽(yáng)縣，是西漢時(shí)期嶺南重要縣治之，在長(zhǎng)沙馬王堆出土的我國(guó)最早的軍事地圖中被標(biāo)到顯著的位置。其實(shí)我們地下河水也是珠江水系和湘江水系的分水點(diǎn)之。

【寶柱洞】

    各位游客：游完了地下河，我們又來(lái)到了“寶柱洞”。寶柱洞中的暗流清泉匯成洞中眾多的水池。我們將它稱為“瑤池”?！艾幊亍鄙蠟r瀝泉水緩緩流淌，形似層層疊疊龍鱗，我們又把它稱為“玉鱗瀉波”。你們看瑤池中亭亭玉立一尊石柱，如珍似寶，“寶柱洞”的名稱由此而來(lái)。再細(xì)看這尊石柱，朦朦朧朧如出浴少女，稱為“神女出浴”真是形似神似。

    南宋詞人王之望在《惜分飛》中寫道：“要眇新聲生寶柱，彈到離腸斷處。細(xì)落檐花雨，夜闌清唱行云住。洞府春長(zhǎng)還易暮，凡客暫來(lái)終去。不忍回頭覷，亂山流水桃溪路?！?/span>

【長(zhǎng)壽洞】

    各位游客：游完了寶柱洞后，讓我們沿著王之望為我們描繪的“亂山流水桃溪路”再去游覽一個(gè)更為奇趣的地方。

這個(gè)仙境一般的大殿我們稱之為“長(zhǎng)壽洞”。為什么叫“長(zhǎng)壽洞”呢？傳說(shuō)，這個(gè)山洞是彭祖曾經(jīng)避居的地方。彭祖是中國(guó)歷史上有名的長(zhǎng)壽老人。他從夏朝活到商朝末年，活了足足有八百歲。相傳，在彭祖活到六七百歲時(shí)，商王親自向彭祖討教長(zhǎng)壽之道。彭祖閉目養(yǎng)神，根本不理睬商王。商王回去后就派人想殺了彭祖，彭祖卻跑到南方隱居起來(lái)。據(jù)說(shuō)這個(gè)洞就是當(dāng)彭祖隱居的地方。

    您看這石壁上天然壽星的形象，據(jù)說(shuō)這就是彭祖當(dāng)年留在那里身影的化身。他壽眉長(zhǎng)須，鶴齡童顏，一派仙風(fēng)道骨，傳說(shuō)，只要來(lái)過(guò)這個(gè)洞，見(jiàn)過(guò)彭祖，就會(huì)長(zhǎng)壽。

    好，游客們請(qǐng)大家跟我來(lái)，穿過(guò)這個(gè)洞，彭祖定會(huì)保佑各位健康長(zhǎng)壽。

【結(jié)束語(yǔ)】

    各位游客，地下河游覽即將結(jié)束，地下河神秘瑰麗的自然景觀、底蘊(yùn)深厚的人文歷史，定會(huì)讓各位游客留下一段美好的永久的記憶，地下河新鮮的空氣、適宜的氣溫，定會(huì)給各位以洗盡凡塵，如八仙境的感受。在這里，沒(méi)有都市的喧囂與煩雜。有的是發(fā)自自然的天籟，令人陶醉。朋友們，我們的游覽就到這里。我們共同度過(guò)了一段愉快的時(shí)光，感謝大家的支持與配合，讓我們相逢在下一個(gè)陽(yáng)光燦爛的日子里。祝大家旅途順利、萬(wàn)事如意！

Lianzhou Underground River

[Introduction]

    Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the mysterious and magnificent Lianzhou Underground River. Lianzhou underground river, was also named as the "big rock"by local people. As long as we look back at the entrance to the cave, the meaning of "big rock" can be clearly understood. Such a huge cave entrance is rare in others cave, even its huge rock entrance is recognized as the biggest in Lingnan area.

    Lianzhou Underground River scenic area is a large underground river cave. Currently the area can be toured covers an area of more than 60,000 square meters. Inside the cave there’re various Karst landscape displaying in different ways, the mysterious and magnificent underground river meanders inside this huge cave,such a Wonderland. To travel Lianzhou underground river can not only enjoy the magic fantastic beauty created by nature, but also can truly comprehend the nature scientific knowledge of geology and other aspects of the cave.

    The cave was once acted as a paradise for human being, with a history of hundreds of years. The cave served as a shelter for us, but also to resist the invasion of enemy for people. The solid stone gate and the ancient wall are evidences to proved that cave was an natural fortress to against enemy invasion. Lianzhou, a contested place between military since ancient time, is located in the borderlands among Guangdong, Hunan and Guangxi Province. From the Han and Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasty, Lianzhou people suffered from the vicissitudes of war, thus cave in the underground river has become the best place to escape the war at that time. The text engraved on the rocks was left in the Ming Dynasty, it truly recorded the scene that the local villagers gathered here during that time.

[The formation of Karst Cave]

    Limestone cave, was also known as Karst cave. Karst topography is an unique landform incarbonate rock area, named as limestone plateau in northwest Yugoslavia. At the end of the 19th century, scholars in Yugoslavia Si Weijie who was first to give research on this area and used karst as a phenomenon of a series of processes in limestone area. Since 1966, the secondary karst academic meeting suggested that changed Karst to limestone, thus Karst landform also known as the limestone landform. China is one of the earliest countries in the world to recorded and researched the karst landform phenomenon, there’re records asearly in Jin Dynasty and the most detailed was recorded in "Travel Notes of Xu Xiake" that was written in the Ming Dynasty.

    Karst caves formed in soluble rock strata in particular in limestone and dolomite rocks, which formed after the long-term dissolution of water. Karst topography is a landscape formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone,dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sink holes, dolines and caves. The development of karst occurs whenever acidic water starts to break down the surface of bedrock near its cracks, or bedding planes. As the bedrock (like limestone or dolo stone) continues to break down,its cracks tend to get bigger. As time goes on, these fractures will become wider, and eventually, a drainage system of some sort may start to form underneath. If this underground drainage system does form, it will speed up the development of karst arrangements there. This increase in rate of karst feature development will be due to the fact that more water will be able to flow through the region.

    Dear visitors, nature is not only to create extraordinary natural landscape for us but also carved a mythic world. Now, please follow me to enter this wonderful world of myth.
