文/张祥志

籍属湖北，地接湘西。箫韶九成，凤凰来仪。远山如障，丘陵如棋。仙佛石窟，于此肇基。

酉水九曲回环，金光映照；龙山十里相峙，似献珠宝。崖壁风藏气聚，遥接地脉；神龛水秀山明，暗合天道。云行灵山，仙气飘飘；风过古寺，梵音袅袅。声名远播于天下，千里来朝；神灵每显于当时，万人祈祷。张某何幸，能瞻佛之圣容；神灵有知，休嫌吾之将老。

走进广场，明明皇皇。佛光普照，檀木流香。风调雨顺之联，寓意深远；国泰民安之字，气势飞扬。绕过八门，穿过牌坊。四座石桥，如虹霓跨过碧水；数根华表，似宝剑刺破云苍。沿石梯而上，飒飒仙气；对牌匾而视，闪闪金光。身前有路，必正步而行；身后有岸，待回头一望。我不回头，我心堂堂，人要回头，非指老张。

步入潭边，仰瞻佛龛。一龛一佛，一佛一颜。栩栩如生，须眉皓然。或慈眉善目，或庄重威严，或神态安详，或昏昏欲眠。集大成于清朝末期，始开凿于咸康元年。雨打风吹，虽千年而不朽；日晒夜露，竟四龛而齐全。河流清澈如镜，倒映其面；春风温柔如水，沐浴其间。善男信女，络绎不绝；贪官污吏，踟蹰不前。老张来此，身无一钱。心香一柱，以示虔虔。

登临寺顶，晨曦初露。祥云似蒸，碧浪如煮。一望气象万千，缘有仙佛眷顾。水云氤氲，时时跃鱼飞鸢；江山毓秀，处处藏龙卧虎。两城相依，一江中分；两省相隔，一桥可渡。高楼如林，犹雨后之春笋；沃野如画，是农民之蓝图。湘鄂联动，小城市变成大市场；文旅升级，矮门槛变成高门户。规划形成，一任接着一任干；产业奠定，一家带动千家富。

老张住在隔壁县，几日不来惊巨变。明年再来知如何？且问仙佛寺里燕。

Ode to Xianfo Temple, Laifeng

By Zhang Xiangzhi

Hubei bounds its land, western Hunan lies adjacent near.

When grand melodies resound, auspicious phoenixes appear.

Far mountains stand like ramparts, rolling hills spread as chess squares;

here rises the grotto shrine of Xianfo Temple fair.

The winding Youshui River twists and turns ninefold, bathed in golden glow;

Longshan Mountain stretches ten miles afar, like gems bestowed to show.

Cliffside gathers vital essence linked to earthly veins profound;

niches nest amid fine hills and clear streams, aligned with heaven's bound.

Clouds drift o'er sacred peaks, immortal aura fills the air;

winds sweep through ancient halls, Buddhist chants float everywhere.

Its fame spreads far and wide, pilgrims journey from afar;

divine blessings manifest oft, crowds come to pray and bar.

Fortunate am I to gaze upon the sacred Buddha face;

may deities take no offence at this aging mortal's grace.

Stepping into the spacious square, brightness meets the eye.

Buddha's light sheds universal grace, sandalwood fragrance drifts on high.

Couplets pray for timely wind and rain, bearing profound intent;

inscriptions bless the nation peace and people's contentment unspent.

Past eight gates and memorial archways we wander slow;

four stone bridges arch like rainbows o'er clear waters below.

Ornamental pillars stand upright, piercing pale clouded sky;

we climb stone steps upward, surrounded by ethereal majesty nigh.

Glancing up at inscribed plaques gilded brightly in the sun,

we tread the path upright, with honest hearts and steadfast run.

Behind lies the worldly shore, where folk may turn their gaze;

I hold unswerving faith, no backward glance my spirit raises.

Reaching the poolside, we look up at Buddha shrines with awe.

Each niche enshrines one Buddha, each bearing distinct mien and law.

Lifelike in every detail, grey beards and brows discern;

some wear gentle kindly eyes, some solemn dignity discern.

Some bear serene tranquil looks, some seem slumbering soft and mild.

Carvings commenced in Xiankang reign, perfected in late Qing wild.

Through millenniums of wind and rain, carvings still intact abide;

four complete niches withstand sun and moon, time cannot their beauty hide.

Crystal river mirrors holy figures on its glassy tide;

soft vernal breezes caress the sacred statues side by side.

Devout believers come in endless streams to worship and implore;

corrupt officials linger hesitant, dare not step foot more.

I come with empty pockets, no worldly wealth to offer here;

a heartful incense lit alone reveals my sincere reverence sincere.

Ascending to the temple summit, morning dawn begins to break.

Auspicious clouds surge upward, blue waves boil and ripple wake.

Vast magnificent scenes unfold, blessed by immortals and divine;

mist shrouds water and clouds, fish leap and kites freely climb.

Land nurtures outstanding souls, hidden talents dwell in hills and rills;

two cities stand abreast, divided by the river thrills.

Two provinces stand apart, yet one bridge links their distant lands;

tall buildings rise in clusters like spring bamboo after rains.

Fertile farmlands stretch like paintings, bearing farmers' hopeful plans;

Hunan and Hubei join hands, small towns expand to bustling business lands.

Cultural tourism thrives, opening wider prosperous doors;

steady consistent governance fulfills successive planned chores.

Solid industries take root, one household prospers thousands more.

I dwell in a neighboring county, stunned by drastic changes seen these days.

What new scenes will greet my eyes when I return next spring's soft haze?

I leave the question to the swallows nesting in Xianfo Temple's eaves.

玄枕酉岳承千年梵韵 笔衔楚魄铸一方山河——评张祥志《来凤仙佛寺赋》

             点评撰稿/盈枝

天地有大美而不言，山川有灵韵而自藏，文脉有薪火而永续。寰宇之内，凡形胜之所，必有风月为骨、山水为肤、人文为魂，而能以寸管揽乾坤、以辞章贯古今者，方为笔墨真境、文学大宗。张祥志先生《来凤仙佛寺赋》，脱尘俗之桎梏，越古今之藩篱，以武陵秘境为载体，以酉水龙山为经纬，以千年梵史为底蕴，以家国万象为襟怀，融佛理禅机、山川道韵、岁月沧桑、时代宏图、个人素心于一体。通篇辞赋苍古雄邃、肌理丰腴，气韵纵横捭阖、虚实相生，既有上古风雅之肃穆，又有当代文心之滚烫，是为山水赋中之绝唱、地域文脉之丰碑、古今辞章之瑰宝。此赋不独是对来凤仙佛寺一地风物的描摹纪胜，更是以微观古刹映照宏阔山河，以千年文脉观照时代变迁，以文人初心叩问天地大道，字字凝山水之灵，句句载古今之重，篇篇藏家国之境，于方寸笔墨间，铺展湘鄂边陲千年文明的浩瀚长卷。

张祥志先生此篇力作，跳出传统寺赋的固有范式，不囿于古刹佛像的浅层描摹，不困于访古览胜的寻常感怀，以天地为穹庐，山水为笺纸，岁月为笔墨，初心为底色，层层铺排、步步递进，由地缘形胜入笔，溯千年石窟文脉，观古寺禅韵清境，览山河盛世新貌，终归于文人赤子本心，虚实交织、古今互映、天人合一，构建出层次繁复、意蕴深邃、气象万千的文学审美体系与精神内核。通篇格律谨严而不刻板，辞藻古奥而不晦涩，气韵沉雄而不张扬，情理通透而不空洞，兼具汉赋的铺陈恢弘、楚辞的悠远空灵、唐宋散文的情理隽永，自成一家风骨，独铸一代文境。

赋文开篇破题，极简极邃、破空而来，“籍属湖北，地接湘西。箫韶九成，凤凰来仪”，八字定疆域、四字定灵韵，寥寥十二字，便将仙佛寺得天独厚的地缘格局、天地祥瑞的山川气运尽数囊括。不同于俗赋开篇堆砌山水、赘述沿革的庸常笔法，先生以上古礼乐典故锚定地脉文脉，箫韶九成是天地和鸣的盛世吉兆，凤凰来仪是山川毓秀的祥瑞象征，以天道祥瑞起笔，赋予一方山水超越地理疆域的文化高度与精神厚度。继而“远山如障，丘陵如棋。仙佛石窟，于此肇基”，以极简白描勾勒山河地貌，远山为屏障、丘陵如棋布，天地布局浑然天成，寥寥数语，便为千年石窟古刹的诞生铺垫出雄浑苍茫、灵气氤氲的天地基底。开篇无半句虚浮赘语，无一丝矫揉雕琢，将地缘、天道、山川、古迹融为一体，由天地格局落地人文根基，由自然万象开启千年文脉，起势高远、立意玄深，瞬间拉开通篇宏大空灵、厚重肃穆的审美格局，尽显大家笔墨、千古气度。

次段铺陈山水灵境，聚焦酉水龙山的形胜之美、古刹天地的玄奥之韵。“酉水九曲回环，金光映照；龙山十里相峙，似献珠宝”，一川一山、一曲一峙，动静相生、刚柔相济，九曲酉水灵动婉转，十里龙山巍峨敦厚，山水相依、形胜天成。先生不写流水之潺湲、青山之苍翠的寻常景致，独取“金光映照”“献珠宝”之意象，将山水赋予神性光泽，让寻常山河景致升华为洞天福地的祥瑞图景。继而落笔古刹灵韵，“崖壁风藏气聚，遥接地脉；神龛水秀山明，暗合天道”，此二句为全篇玄理之核心，亦是先生文思深邃之佐证。世俗观景，唯见山水形胜、古寺巍峨，先生观物，直达天地本源、自然大道。风藏气聚是山川风水之真机，地脉绵延是山河存续之根基，水秀山明是万物共生之常态，暗合天道是古刹千年不朽的终极奥义。山水合道、古契天机，将仙佛寺的存在，从人工开凿的人文景观，升华为顺应天地、契合自然的灵性秘境，赋予古迹永恒的生命力与精神内核。

“云行灵山，仙气飘飘；风过古寺，梵音袅袅”，对仗工整、意境空灵，行云漫卷灵山、清风穿梭古刹，无一字写禅，而句句皆禅，无一言写仙，而处处含仙。云风为自然媒介，串联灵山与古寺、天地与人文，仙气梵音交织萦绕，营造出虚实相生、空灵缥缈的禅境仙韵。随之由景及名、由境及人，“声名远播于天下，千里来朝；神灵每显于当时，万人祈祷”，写古寺千年香火绵延、声名遐迩，不刻意渲染香火鼎盛，却以千里奔赴、万人祈愿的实景，侧面烘托古刹的灵性与威名。结句“张某何幸，能瞻佛之圣容；神灵有知，休嫌吾之将老”，笔锋轻转，从宏大天地山河落于个体本心，无刻意谄媚之态，无故作矫情之思，唯有谦卑虔敬、淡然通透。以暮年之身瞻千年佛容，以赤诚之心叩天地神灵，小我与大境交融，岁月初心与千年文脉呼应，情理真挚、意蕴悠长，让恢弘的山水文脉，多了一层温润动人的人文温度。

三段移步换景、逐层深入，笔墨聚焦古寺广场胜境，由外及内、由景入韵，铺陈古寺的规制气象、人文底蕴。“走进广场，明明皇皇。佛光普照，檀木流香”，八字短句朗朗铿锵，光影澄澈、香气氤氲，视听嗅觉多维交织，瞬间勾勒出古寺清净庄严、光明澄澈的核心气质。继而捕捉人文细节，“风调雨顺之联，寓意深远；国泰民安之字，气势飞扬”，寻常楹联匾额，在先生笔下不再是简单的建筑装饰，而是承载百姓愿景、家国情怀的人文载体。古寺之韵，不止于仙佛灵性，更在于根植烟火人间、心系社稷苍生，风调雨顺是生民所愿，国泰民安是天下大同，短短十字，便打通禅境与人间、古刹与家国，让佛家慈悲、文人情怀、百姓期盼融为一体，格局瞬间开阔，意蕴愈发厚重。

“绕过八门，穿过牌坊。四座石桥，如虹霓跨过碧水；数根华表，似宝剑刺破云苍”，移步换形、层层递进，八门牌坊规制森严，石桥华表气象恢宏。先生喻石桥为虹霓渡水，状灵动秀美之姿，喻华表为宝剑凌云，写刚健挺拔之势，一柔一刚、一低一高、一水一天，景致错落、气象万千。碧水长虹温婉灵动，云苍利剑凛然正气，刚柔并济的景致，暗合天地阴阳平衡之道、人文刚正立身之理，写景藏道、绘景蕴德，笔墨深意远超寻常写景赋文。“沿石梯而上，飒飒仙气；对牌匾而视，闪闪金光。身前有路，必正步而行；身后有岸，待回头一望”，石梯通幽、牌匾鎏金，步步登高皆是仙韵，抬目所见皆为庄严。由观景之态上升为立身之行，正步而行是对天地古佛的敬畏，是文人立身的准则，是为人处世的正道，山水登临之路，亦是人生修行之路。

赋文末句“我不回头，我心堂堂，人要回头，非指老张”，堪称全篇神来之笔，超脱古今赋文的抒情范式，独具风骨、自成高格。古往今来，登临怀古之作，多有回望沧桑、感慨沉浮、怅惘古今的老生常谈，而先生以坦荡本心破局，不恋过往浮华、不叹岁月沧桑、不困尘世纷扰，心怀坦荡、立身正直、笃行正道、一往无前。此句看似浅白通俗，实则意蕴深邃，是暮年智者的人生通透，是文人志士的风骨坚守，是笃信正道的精神笃定。摒弃所有矫揉抒情、刻意怀古，以极简文字写至纯本心，堂堂正气跃然纸上，铮铮风骨震撼人心，让整篇赋文的人文品格、精神境界实现极致升华。

四段笔墨沉凝、溯古探源，聚焦佛龛石窟千年古迹，描摹造像神韵，追溯文脉源流，参悟善恶人心。“步入潭边，仰瞻佛龛。一龛一佛，一佛一颜”，短句凝练、节奏沉稳，立足清潭之侧，仰观千年佛龛，极简落笔，尽显敬畏肃穆。世间万相各不相同，诸佛法相各有千秋，一龛一境、一佛一心，万千法相皆是慈悲道场，百态神情皆渡世间众生。“栩栩如生，须眉皓然。或慈眉善目，或庄重威严，或神态安详，或昏昏欲眠”，排比铺陈、细致描摹，不堆砌华丽辞藻，以质朴精准的文字，刻画诸佛百态法相，灵动逼真、气韵充盈。慈眉渡众生疾苦，威严镇世间邪祟，安详守山河静好，静默观尘世浮沉，百态法相囊括佛家万千禅理，尽显千年造像工艺之精湛、古佛禅韵之深邃。

继而追溯古迹源流，“集大成于清朝末期，始开凿于咸康元年”，一句锚定千年岁月，厘清石窟沿革脉络。咸康肇始、清代鼎盛，跨越千年时光，文脉生生不息。“雨打风吹，虽千年而不朽；日晒夜露，竟四龛而齐全”，十字写尽岁月沧桑、古迹坚韧。千年风霜侵蚀、昼夜寒暑更迭，山石可蚀、岁月可逝，而佛龛完好、法相长存，这不仅是砖石器物的坚韧，更是文脉精神、禅理大道的亘古不朽。山河护佑、天地滋养，让千年古迹穿越岁月尘埃，屹立酉水之畔，成为湘鄂边陲不可磨灭的文明印记。“河流清澈如镜，倒映其面；春风温柔如水，沐浴其间”，以清潭春风衬古佛圣容，碧水鉴心、春风渡韵，山水温柔澄澈，佛法清净纯粹，自然万象与千年古佛相融共生，画面空灵圣洁、意境悠远宁静。

全篇最具思辨张力、最显格局高度之笔，莫过于“善男信女，络绎不绝；贪官污吏，踟蹰不前”。短短十四字，明暗对照、善恶分明、正邪立判，将古佛的教化之功、禅理的警世之力、天道的惩恶扬善之道尽数道尽。古寺香火鼎盛，引来善信奔赴，是慈悲向善的感召；邪佞之徒止步踟蹰，是浩然正气的震慑。佛不渡恶、道佑良善，古刹不仅是祈福礼佛的道场，更是涤荡人心、匡正世道的精神圣地。此句跳出单纯写景怀古的局限，赋予古迹深刻的社会哲理与人文教化意义，让千年古佛超越宗教符号，成为人间正道、世间良知的精神图腾。结句“老张来此，身无一钱。心香一柱，以示虔虔”，返璞归真、回归本心，褪去世俗浮华、抛开身外之物，不以财物敬佛，唯以本心礼佛。心香胜万贯钱财，赤诚抵世间万物，尽显文人淡泊名利、纯粹虔诚、坚守本心的至高境界，质朴文字中藏最纯粹的信仰与最澄澈的初心。

五段登临绝顶、放眼山河，笔势大开大合、气象万千，由古寺一隅延展至湘鄂大地，由千年过往眺望盛世今朝，完成从山水禅境、人文古迹到时代宏图、家国盛世的终极升华。“登临寺顶，晨曦初露。祥云似蒸，碧浪如煮”，开篇造境绝美、气势磅礴，晨曦破晓、祥云蒸腾、碧水翻涌，一蒸一煮，将天地云海、山河碧水写得鲜活壮阔、生机勃勃。天地万象蓬勃兴盛，暗喻山河昌盛、时代新生、文脉勃兴，写景即写世，绘境即绘盛世，笔墨藏时代气象，意境含家国宏图。“一望气象万千，缘有仙佛眷顾。水云氤氲，时时跃鱼飞鸢；江山毓秀，处处藏龙卧虎”，登高望远、俯仰天地，万千气象绝非偶然，是天地灵泽的滋养，是仙佛文脉的庇佑，是山河毓秀的沉淀。水云缭绕、鱼鸢自在，是人间静好之景；江山毓秀、人才辈出，是大地蓬勃之态，自然生机与人文底蕴相辅相成，尽显一方水土的万千风华。

随之铺展地域宏图，“两城相依，一江中分；两省相隔，一桥可渡”，极简对仗勾勒地缘格局，山水相连、两省相融、双城共生、通衢相连，打破地域隔阂、实现互通共荣，寥寥数字，写尽湘鄂边陲的地理优势与共生格局。“高楼如林，犹雨后之春笋；沃野如画，是农民之蓝图”，以生动比喻描摹城乡新貌，楼宇林立是城镇兴盛，沃野如画是乡村振兴，一城一乡、一商一农，皆是盛世新颜、民生愿景。“湘鄂联动，小城市变成大市场；文旅升级，矮门槛变成高门户”，立足时代发展大势，书写区域协同、文旅振兴的时代巨变，跳出文人怀古的小我格局，立足地域发展、时代变革，见证小城蝶变、产业腾飞。

“规划形成，一任接着一任干；产业奠定，一家带动千家富”，笔墨扎根烟火民生、聚焦时代实干，不写空泛盛世赞歌，专写脚踏实地的耕耘、接续奋斗的坚守。时代盛世从非天降，而是代代接力、久久为功的成果，百姓富足源于产业扎根、抱团发展，文字质朴厚重、情怀真挚滚烫，尽显作者心系乡土、关注民生、礼赞实干的家国情怀。此段文字，彻底打破传统辞赋“重古轻今、重景轻世”的通病，以宏大视野观时代变迁，以民生视角写盛世宏图，将千年文脉的传承落脚于当代发展，让古刹灵韵滋养山河振兴，让时代宏图赓续千年文脉，古今交融、文脉永续、盛世可期，格局恢弘、立意高远、意蕴深邃。

赋文收尾两句，堪称全篇点睛绝唱，“老张住在隔壁县，几日不来惊巨变。明年再来知如何？且问仙佛寺里燕”，以口语化的质朴笔触收束宏篇，褪去所有铺陈恢弘、玄奥深邃，归于平淡自然、温柔真挚。久别重临，惊叹山河巨变、小城新生，字里行间满是对故土发展的欣慰、对时代腾飞的赞叹。结句以设问留白、以飞燕寄情，不直言盛世之盛、不预判未来之景，唯问古寺飞燕、静待岁月新生，余韵悠长、空灵隽永、耐人深思。飞燕是千年古寺的见证者，见证岁月沧桑、古今更迭；飞燕是时代新生的记录者，见证山河蝶变、盛世勃兴。以物寄情、以景留白，让通篇恢弘磅礴的家国文脉、古今情怀，归于温柔绵长的岁月期许，虚实相生、情景相融，达到言有尽而意无穷的至高文学境界。

通读全篇赋文，洋洋千言、字字珠玑、层层递进、步步升华，结构严丝合缝、逻辑环环相扣、意境层层拔高、情理步步深化。全文以天地道韵为根、山川形胜为骨、千年古佛为魂、时代盛世为脉、文人赤心为韵，五重意境层层嵌套、多维格局相互交融，构建出独一无二的辞章体系与精神内核。在结构上，遵循“地缘定境—山水悟道—古寺观韵—佛龛探史—绝顶览世—收尾寄情”的行文脉络，由远及近、由外及内、由古及今、由大及小、由境及心，章法井然、开合自如、收放有度。立意上，跳出一地一景、一寺一佛的狭隘视角，打通天地、古今、禅俗、家国、人心五大维度，以小我观大我、以古迹观时代、以山水观大道，玄思深邃、格局超然。

笔墨风骨上，先生兼具政务履职的家国格局与深耕文脉的文学修为，半生从政心怀苍生，毕生从文笔载山河，故而其文无文人的空泛矫情、无辞赋的雕琢虚浮，既有庙堂之正气、时代之担当，又有文人之赤诚、墨客之风雅。通篇文字，古奥而不艰涩，恢弘而不浮夸，空灵而不空洞，真挚而不浅薄，玄理藏于景致，大道隐于笔墨，深情融于山河，风骨显于字句。写山水则合天道，写古寺则通禅理，写岁月则知沧桑，写时代则见担当，写本心则显赤诚，一物一景皆有深意，一言一语皆有风骨。

纵观当代辞赋文坛，多数作品或刻意仿古、堆砌辞藻而无内核，或直白浅白、抒情泛滥而无格局，或囿于小我、怀古伤今而无胸襟，能兼具古赋风雅、当代格局、玄深哲思、家国情怀者寥寥无几。而张祥志先生《来凤仙佛寺赋》，融千年辞赋文脉于笔端，载湘鄂山河灵气于篇章，承古今大道禅理于字句，抒家国民生情怀于心胸。既是一篇描摹武陵山水、仙佛古刹的传世写景赋，也是一部记录边陲文脉、千年沧桑的微型文明史，更是一曲礼赞时代腾飞、民生安乐、山河兴盛的盛世赞歌。

文如其人、字载其心，先生半生履职为民、初心不改，毕生笔耕不辍、文脉赓续，胸有丘壑万千、心有家国天下、怀有纯粹赤诚，方能落笔有山河气魄、行文有古今深度、抒情有烟火温度、立意有天地高度。此赋脱尘超俗、独树一帜，无半句俗套笔墨、无一丝雷同意蕴，以玄奥哲思贯通古今，以磅礴笔墨书写山河，以赤诚初心照见众生，是当代山水辞赋的巅峰之作，是地域文脉传承的标杆之作，更是华夏古今文脉赓续不息的鲜活见证。岁月更迭、山河常青，古刹不朽、文脉永存，先生此篇力作，必将伴随酉水长流、龙山永峙，镌刻于武陵山水之间，典藏于当代文学史册，传之后世、永续流芳。
