鸡公山竹枝词

^⒈，作者刘景向，字邃真(1886—1938)，原籍河南信阳县人，清末乙酉(1909)贡生。科举废后，他毕业于豫南 优级师范，终生从事文化教育，历任高等小学、中学、师范和大学教师。1922年因肺病在鸡公山疗养，恰逢靳云鹗在山上创办颐 庐学校，被聘为校监。由于作者居山日久，对鸡公山自然风光、 社会状况了解深刻，用“竹枝词”的形式写出七言诗50首，  1923 年出版。
        鸡公山竹枝词是鸡公山避暑胜地的历史见证，也是昔日鸡公山的风光影集，不仅是较高水平的文艺作品，而且是重要的历史文献资料，能从诗文中窥见当时的避暑胜地的风貌。竹枝词描绘了鸡公山的地理位置、名称由来。气候特征，记录了外国人在山上购地建屋。办学校、开医院、盖教堂、辟墓园、修建娱乐场所、围地种植、到处打猎。读后感到鸡公山是殖民地缩影，发人深省；还反映了鸡公山的工程建设、交通、文化教育。公益事业以及劳动人民的贫苦生活等。作者思想开明，醉心新学，热爱鸡公山，对竹枝词颇费匠心，但由于受历史局限，缺乏对劳动人民的情感，并且对帝国主义的本质认识不清，在诗句中留有墨迹。
                                                        楚豫连疆一轨通^⒉，车停山下我徂东，
                                                        拨云直上鸡公顶，邱壑楼台烂眼中。 

                                                        怪石嵯峨乱一丘，翕如鸡翅耸如头，
                                                        搜残邑乘名难正，风景都凭摄影留。   

                                                        山腰石罅尽喷泉，万斛明珠一线穿，   
                                                        三伏炎蒸人欲死，清凉到此顿疑仙。  

                                                        孤客游踪信步移，云深不辨路多歧，  
                                                        桃源真有新天地，十里风飘九国旗^⒊。  

                                                        侨寓弥知祖国亲，同营学舍据山堙，  
                                                        文明咫尺堪模范，何必西方有美人^⒋。

                                                        钟声数点散晨鸦，礼拜堂前日影花， 
                                                        东岭西溪人络绎，喃喃都颂耶和华^⒌。 

                                                        三间茅屋枕山阿，药钵丹瓶四壁罗，   
                                                        方便门开仍有限，烟霞痼疾莫蹉跎。

                                                        防疫兢兢似戒严，那容传染到深山， 
                                                        可怜抱病登临客，星夜匆匆被放还^⒍。 

                                                        聊将藤椅作肩舆^⒎，八足乘风力有余，   
                                                        二道门高弹指过，尘劳暂息却长嘘。  

                                                        名山权借作招牌，旅馆喧阗傍翠崖，  
                                                        俯瞰青云生足下，游人小住尽称佳。  

                                                        丹崖白石响丁丁，石破崖崩天亦惊， 
                                                        不为金牛开蜀道，恺崇楼阁斗峥嵘。   

                                                        商场教会两区间，五亩高原冠一山，  
                                                        禁脔多年成野鹜，令人鼓掌笑贪顽^⒏。   

                                                        偶嫌烦恼入山中，却恐相思信不通， 
                                                        意外欣逢如意事，绿阴深处有邮筒。  

                                                        电线蛛丝欲碰头，市朝消息接山陬， 
                                                        陆沉^⒐却笑桃源叟，汉魏昏昏梦里游。 

                                                        名山点缀借图书，眼底瑯嬛福有余， 
                                                        助兴群誇商务馆，投机营业到丛岨。

                                                        城市山林莽不分，炊烟青裹岭头云， 
                                                        茶坊酒肆喧于瀑，珠贾沿门乱夕曛。

                                                        峰回路转势纡徐，好境频惊入目初， 
                                                        楼阁连云看不尽，堂皇毕竟让颐庐^⒑。

                                                        黑杖黄衣^⒒似贯梭，山中警察善巡逻，
                                                        空悬禁网严溲溺，遗矢层峦欲烂柯。 
                                                           
                                                        危岩风雨石先倾，山径分崩不肯平，
                                                        天遣局丁筋骨健，终年未许歇工程。

                                                        鹙巢蛇窟积洪荒，论价而今动尺量，
                                                        一自新开租地局，峰峦甲乙^⒓费评章。

                                                        涧边甃井水清澄，   黑夜临崖仗路灯，
                                                        游侣喧称公益会^⒔，贤劳盼汝更除蝇。
                                                        
                                                        北山新辟造林场，梧槚苗才尺半长，
                                                        转瞬十年风雨足，森森应号绿云乡。

                                                        青溪千仞绝尘嚣，幽静真宜养慧苗，
                                                        天与颐庐开学校，晦明风雨茁兰苕。

                                                        分流涧水各东西，濯足濯缨费品题，
                                                        除却遭逢安息日，碪声常似若耶溪^⒕。

                                                        洗衣店也号公司，谷口横斜引铁丝，
                                                        白袷红衫风乱舞，山泉应悔被人知。

                                                        晶莹牛乳琉璃瓶，瓶口蓝唇一色青，
                                                        肩鬻生防滋味变，芒鞋踏破露珠零。

                                                        山中别有好生涯，度岭穿云唤卖花， 
                                                        步近洋楼行故缓，要输香色透窗纱^⒖。   

                                                        门外森森万绿萦，长林短榻门纵横， 
                                                        游人莫话哥仑布，且认开山李立生。

                                                        叠石玲珑似酒垆，山巅悄踞草芜芜， 
                                                        游人探得青峰寺^⒗，也算骊龙颔下珠。  

                                                        一阵香风送好音，花冠革履出深林， 
                                                        新欢蜜月饶情味，把臂游山更称心。  

                                                        革轮油幕拥摇篮，涧北稍停又岭南， 
                                                        乳妪自矜胡语熟，撩儿格桀闹乡谈^⒘。 

                                                        绀眸金发好风姿，姊妹相携下浴池， 
                                                        任尔临泉人妒杀，和衣未许睹凝脂^⒙。   

                                                        广场十亩傍青丘，斗罢篮球又网球，   
                                                        似为山深能却暑，故拚珠汗一时流。  

                                                        云髻团圞舞袖宽，青罗繖底步蹒跚，  
                                                        东邻少女窥人惯，蹑屐风流学谢安。  

                                                        蟠山曲径绿成荫，一角红楼望转深， 
                                                        好趁佳人醒行梦，石床悄倚听风琴。 

                                                        一峰暗淡一峰明，咫尺山容异雨晴，  
                                                        裙屐婆娑烟雾里，前溪笑指夕阳横。 

                                                        岭断云连又几家，好峰偏被揭橥遮，
                                                        看山猛触论文趣，羯鼓声声信手挝^⒚。 

                                                        方垣岭半界苔痕，客塚累累似覆盆^⒛， 
                                                        阡草自黄还自绿，可怜绝域滞游魂。 

                                                        失穴豺狼窜己遥，手枪闲试靖山椒，
                                                        林间乱吼西洋犬，东郭韩庐不用骄。

                                                        洋葱番薯满山栽，花木多从异国来，
                                                        莫怪喧宾能夺主，天荒千载要人开。 

                                                        昼听鸣蝉夜听蛙，幽蛩断续助咨嗟，
                                                        可怜山静无啼鸟，使尽虫声也不哗。 

                                                        高峰览尽到山根，华屋相邻有筚门，
                                                        眼底荣枯堪领悟，大观园里稻香村²¹。 

                                                        纤手提携上翠微，刈麻采艾趁斜晖， 
                                                        秋山更得儿童意，贪摘栗苞不肯归。 

                                                        楼台压尽好山田，老圃耕锄一例捐，
                                                        莫道菜根滋味薄，秋菘春韭足垂涎。 

                                                        青烟一缕似开甑，渐裹林峦到上层， 
                                                        我已浮沉人海倦，楼窗闲敞看云升。

                                                        山光薄暮净烟霾，鬓影衣香处处皆。     
                                                        齐道夜游风景好，林泉掩映月如筛²²。 

                                                        门窗都上碧玻璃，灯影岚烟晚最宜，     
                                                        星火满山风不动，囊萤故事漫相疑。     

                                                        山泉雨后更汹汹，飞瀑悬崖到处冲，    
                                                        夜静惊闻声势恶，几疑破壁起蛟龙。     

                                                        空山寂寞已秋高，底事登临不惮劳，   
                                                        隔岭风传凄绝语，中原群盗正如毛。    

                                                        消完长夏几篇诗，世界炎凉杳不知，     
                                                        气候来年占已定，入山宜早出宜迟。
