九龍傳說

［龍］在中國歷代相傳得資料中說，牠是神靈之精，四靈（龍、鳳、麟、龜）之首。一般世俗的說法，龍的身上有鱗片的的叫做「蛟龍」，有翅膀的叫做「應龍」；頭 上有角的叫做「虯龍」，沒有角的叫做「螭龍」；沒法升天的叫做「蟠龍」，喜愛水的叫做「蜻龍」，喜愛火的叫做「火龍」，愛好鳴叫的叫做「鳴龍」，愛好戰鬥 的叫做「蜥龍」。這群龍當中，虯龍是龍的首領，牠能發號施令，率領群龍騰雲駕霧下雨，救助蒼生，是民間祈雨避邪的神靈。

相傳上古之時，天上十個太陽齊出，田園稼禾全被晒焦，民眾苦不堪言。羿受堯帝之命，為民排憂解難，他舉彎弓，發響箭，將九個太陽射落，只留一個在天 上。那九個太陽在墜落時變成了九條巨龍，共同擔負起拱護留在天上的那個太陽的任務。這便是“九龍拱珠”、“九龍戲珠”圖案的“神話”來源。

「龍生九子」是古人的傳說，傳說龍生九子不成龍，九龍子性情各異，各有所好。九子就是 ＂霸下、螭吻、蒲牢、憲章、饕餮、蚣蝮、睚眥、狻猊、椒圖。＂在宮殿、廟宇或是畫稿、建築、家具、衣料等器物上，常會見到牠們的蹤影。

歷史記載，中國的龍，家族龐大，有黃龍、青龍、赤龍、白龍、烏龍、金龍，千年之龍叫應龍、無足之龍叫燭龍、有角之龍叫虯龍、無角之龍叫螭龍，等等。它們有 好有壞，有善有惡。東方的龍大多是正面的形象，是佛祖身邊的護法，是皇宮大殿柱子上延綿環繞的金身，是許多宏偉歷史天象中與鶴、鳳等出現顯現人間。《史 記》二十八卷《封禪書》裡說： 黃帝乘龍上天，群臣無法跟隨，只能抱著拉斷的龍髯哭泣。以黃龍象徵黃帝，中國古人以龍為尊。但傳說中，也不乏屠龍、鬥龍的記載，如女媧殺黑龍、大禹斬蠢 龍、李冰父子伏孽龍、周處除蛟龍，等等。比如哪吒鬧海，誤殺龍王三太子，龍王大怒，定要拿他的命，李靖跪地懇求龍王慈悲，可龍王不原諒，水漫全家，逼得李 靖只能眼睜睜的看著自己的孩子自刎。

　　金裹銀田黃石，其特點是外黃而內白的田石。金裹銀田黃石的形成，是白田石的周圍環境中的氧化鐵離子所形成，其肌質都是非常細結、凝靈、分 子結構極其緊密的石材。這種優良石材即使在地下水中富含氧化鐵成分的環境中，也極不容易被浸染呈色，當地下水中的迪開石分子和氧化鐵離子，已經在白田石 表面沉積並形成黃色皮層時，而緻密的白田基質卻仍沒被浸染呈色，因此，才能形成黃、白色彩分明的金裹銀田黃石。金裹銀田黃石都是質 地純優的上品田黃凍石，十分珍稀罕見。
