神 奇 的 花 山
座落在明江之滨的花山,离城区25公里。因悬崖上有雄伟壮观的两千多年前骆越先民所作的图画而闻名世界;又因先民的画意、画法和成画年代的考古艰难,直到当今研究毫无结果而成为千古之谜。花山如此雄奇而神秘,不断吸引着众多的国内外学者和游客前来考察研究和探奇揽胜。
花山崖画,主要分布在桂西左江流域的宁明、龙州、崇左等壮族聚居的地区。现保留的60多处崖画中,绘有人像3000多个,延绵数十里,其中以宁明花山崖画规模最大,统称为花山崖画或花山崖画廊。
巍然屹立的花山,山上林木繁茂,崖壁内倾,像一座巨型岩厦。江上游船离崖百米可依稀看到画的人体形像;登岸后拾阶而上,巨幅崖画便呈现在眼前。崖画低处临江15米,最高处离江面110多米,其左右宽幅150多米。在凹凸不平的巨大山崖上,密密麻麻地画上1800多个褚红色裸体人像和一些动物器具,其中以人像居多。皆为双臂曲举,两脚半蹲姿态,最大的约3米,最小的也有30厘米,一般为1米左右。大都是一群小型人像围着一个大型人像起舞或祝拜,部分人像腰佩刀剑,骑着非马非犬的动物。人像周围画有单层或双层圆圈,或内有似米字形的圆圈,像太阳,似月亮,神秘莫测。花山崖画的重要历史价值和巨大艺术价值,引起了国家的高度重视,建国后几十年来一直吸引着众多的学术团体前来考察研究。初步认为花山崖画的作画年代或是上古至中古时期,或是战国至东汉时期,或唐或宋,是未破之谜。崖画内容或为语言符号,或为乐事庆典, 或为祈天抗洪,或为战事盛会,或为宗教祭祀,研究的学者各执一词,莫衷一是,迄今尚无定论。暂且不说崖画的反映内容,仅画的本身就是一件世界罕见的崖画艺术珍品,具有强大的艺术魅力和重大的考古价值。整个画面95米×150米,气势雄伟磅礴,百米之外才能尽览全幅。画面布局工整,繁而不乱,主次分明,完整和谐。看似单调机械的画像造型,充满了古朴庄重而又轻松活泼
的气氛;只有寥寥几笔的人体和物体
造型,使人能够捕捉到一种生动逼真、维妙维肖的美感;单色平描剪影式及单线条勾勒式的艺术构思和浪漫笔彩,使之观之产生一种似虚似实的梦幻之感态;整齐而又纷繁的上千个人像,洋溢着舞动的节奏和激越的声乐。用心专注观察,褚红色人群全都活动了起来:首领挎刀骑兽,众卒簇拥欢呼,铜鼓声震天,喊杀声动地;又像山林呼啸,风劲草低,猎犬穷追不舍;又若设案江滨,阴风迷雾,巫师念念有词,部落上下痛祭亡灵;又似鼓乐阵阵,轻歌漫舞,人群雀跃,欢声鼎沸……伫立在此幅1.5万平方米的崖画面前,使人仿佛进入画境,置身在远古社会的人群中,与之共欢乐、同激动,而早已留连忘返。花山崖画是中华民族宝库的一块艺术瑰宝,成为国家重点文物保护的地方。到过花山的人,不仅为其壮美赞不绝口,更为其诸多的“不可思议”而惊叹不已:如此峭壁悬崖如何作画?……花山的神奇魅力和千古之谜,
已吸引了美、日、英、德、法、港澳等许多国家和地区以及国内的游客,每年都有上万人(次)前来旅游和考察,数千年风雨冲刷是何颜料永不褪色?
从宁明县城去花山,乘船往返只需三个多钟头。为开发花山这一旅游胜地,近年来国家添置了花山游艇,修造了花山栈道,已建了花山陈列室、招待所和富有民族风情的高级宾馆--民族山寨。花山正以其壮美的身姿,恭迎日益增多的中外宾客。
