石阡溫泉又名城南溫泉,其設施始建于明萬歷三十四年(即公元1606年),延續已有400多年的歷史,有著獨特傳統的洗浴文化,是既可洗浴又能直接飲用的天然礦泉溫泉
石阡溫(wen)(wen)泉(quan),久享盛(sheng)名,歷(li)史悠久,譽(yu)貫(guan)黔疆,被贊為‘溫(wen)(wen)泉(quan)漱玉’、‘洞天福地’。眾(zhong)多的(de)(de)神話傳說和(he)歷(li)史故事,更是增(zeng)添(tian)了(le)她(ta)的(de)(de)詩情畫意(yi)。
一、相傳(chuan),在很(hen)久很(hen)久以前(qian),有一條(tiao)冷(leng)(leng)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)住在城(cheng)南(nan),一仙人趕著一條(tiao)火龍(long)(long)(long)(long)經(jing)過此地,火龍(long)(long)(long)(long)喜歡(huan)上了冷(leng)(leng)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)如花似玉的(de)女(nv)兒,便(bian)(bian)要娶冷(leng)(leng)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)的(de)女(nv)兒為妻。冷(leng)(leng)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)不從(cong),于是便(bian)(bian)與火龍(long)(long)(long)(long)打了起來,雙方大戰了九(jiu)(jiu)九(jiu)(jiu)八十一天,最后冷(leng)(leng)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)戰敗被趕到了龍(long)(long)(long)(long)底江<今(jin)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)川河>的(de)下游<今(jin)距縣城(cheng)兩公里處名叫冷(leng)(leng)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)>。火龍(long)(long)(long)(long)與冷(leng)(leng)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)的(de)女(nv)兒結合,一冷(leng)(leng)一熱,便(bian)(bian)成了今(jin)天的(de)城(cheng)南(nan)溫泉。
二(er)、傳說:原來有一(yi)(yi)(yi)條(tiao)冷龍(long)(long)住在石阡的(de)(de)(de)(de)城南,他有一(yi)(yi)(yi)個愛(ai)若(ruo)(ruo)珍寶的(de)(de)(de)(de)女兒(er),生得如花似(si)玉。一(yi)(yi)(yi)條(tiao)火(huo)龍(long)(long)經(jing)過(guo)石阡,看見了冷龍(long)(long)姑(gu)(gu)娘(niang),一(yi)(yi)(yi)時意亂(luan)情迷(mi),發誓要娶過(guo)來作自己(ji)的(de)(de)(de)(de)妻子。經(jing)過(guo)若(ruo)(ruo)干(gan)努力,他終(zhong)于和冷龍(long)(long)姑(gu)(gu)娘(niang)結(jie)合了。因為(wei)迷(mi)戀石阡的(de)(de)(de)(de)風景,火(huo)龍(long)(long)當了倒插(cha)門的(de)(de)(de)(de)上門女婿,從此留在石阡。他的(de)(de)(de)(de)火(huo)熱(re)身軀與冷龍(long)(long)姑(gu)(gu)娘(niang)的(de)(de)(de)(de)冰(bing)肌玉骨(gu)融為(wei)一(yi)(yi)(yi)體,于是(shi)有了一(yi)(yi)(yi)處處的(de)(de)(de)(de)溫泉(quan)(quan)。還傳說,正(zheng)因為(wei)溫泉(quan)(quan)是(shi)愛(ai)情的(de)(de)(de)(de)結(jie)合,所(suo)以總是(shi)能(neng)給人美麗與幸(xing)福(fu)。
三、相傳遠古時(shi),一位(wei)(wei)方士(shi)由云(yun)南驅趕火龍(long)(long)來到石(shi)阡,見這里山(shan)清水(shui)秀、物(wu)華(hua)天寶、民風(feng)淳樸、不(bu)忍(ren)離去,就將(jiang)(jiang)火龍(long)(long)鎮于江(jiang)(jiang)底,令其(qi)尾在(zai)云(yun)南,頭在(zai)石(shi)阡,使地下泉水(shui)經過火龍(long)(long)加熱(re),噴出(chu)水(shui)來如熱(re)湯滾滾,供人們(men)浣浴。這位(wei)(wei)方士(shi)臨終前(qian),囑咐人們(men)將(jiang)(jiang)其(qi)遺(yi)體葬于溫泉邊(bian)小山(shan)的林中(zhong),在(zai)上面(mian)修筑三層(ceng)石(shi)塔,永鎮火龍(long)(long),讓其(qi)永遠為民造福。此(ci)處的江(jiang)(jiang)也因此(ci)改為“龍(long)(long)底江(jiang)(jiang)”。
四、很久以前,石阡(qian)沒有(you)溫泉(quan)。不知(zhi)何時,東海龍王的(de)(de)(de)龍太子金角火(huo)龍及田(tian)珩(heng)、蕓英(ying)夫婦游山玩(wan)水來到碧波清流的(de)(de)(de)石阡(qian)龍底江,這里土地(di)肥(fei)沃,山水秀麗(li),人民安居(ju)樂業。金角火(huo)龍與田(tian)珩(heng)夫婦深感石阡(qian)是一(yi)個美麗(li)的(de)(de)(de)世(shi)外(wai)桃源,于是便(bian)長住下來。金角火(huo)龍扎根于古鎮(zhen)傍河底,數日(ri)后,便(bian)有(you)一(yi)股熱氣騰騰的(de)(de)(de)泉(quan)水從河岸涌(yong)出(chu),當地(di)居(ju)民為之驚喜(xi)。熱泉(quan)便(bian)發浣浴,能醫百病,成(cheng)阡(qian)民萬代福氣。田(tian)珩(heng)夫婦每日(ri)守在(zai)(zai)泉(quan)邊(bian),天長日(ri)久,倆人逐漸(jian)變成(cheng)了兩片巨石,將溫泉(quan)隔成(cheng)兩片,人們便(bian)在(zai)(zai)泉(quan)水邊(bian)建造樓(lou)閣,自(zi)然(ran)分成(cheng)了男女溫泉(quan)。
