釣魚城小序

矚以神州，渝巴石鏡。目之所及者，古樹跑馬，旌旗雉堞。陳倉棧道，峭壁千尋。射洞險墻，諸之以茅戈鐵壁。雄關高峙，扼其三江八門；徑流環(huán)山，潤爾五湖四海。溯洄神源，洪獸無親。帝之垂憐者，天降巨靈，身臨危頂，立石垂竿，施以鮮魚，解其饑饉，方圓以為生息。聚石固城，以為神跡。                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

此之魚城者，上承商周，下迄明清。大雅初筑，余玠入蜀，天險以為初成。時維生死，宋蒙進退。浴血百二，飛石以破汪德；鐵蹄三路，重炮再逼蒙哥。嬰城固守三十六載，軍民殘血勒石長弓。鎮(zhèn)西門外尚余軍馬之題辭，護國門內長流壯士之骨血。正之生靈，正之骨肉，非三聲長嘆無以抒懷。然一祠之所，三寸之靈，焉能盡刻其骨兮魂歸故哉？延以年輪八百，二佛三洞，悉之蘊以忠魂，植其精骨，傳其遺風。滋之以勝景，潤之以文秀。絕其四時，冠其八方。勇善之先民，助武伐紂，歌舞以凌殷人；毋畏之今日，扶船拒辱，紅巖以克江濤。隋陵渝水，恭州慶意。一刀一斧，座立千秋偉業(yè)；三絕梁平，九龍楹對，半吹半打，譜奏萬載興歌。

諸之明善者，賞其樂景，汲其文氣，述以峻峭之秀，嘆以光陰不存。每以臥佛懸空，屢屢隔空遙寄。然理之不存，書者去矣。光陰之逝，江流之水，焉能與之長存。嗚呼！此之不存者，大江與爾同哉焉。此之勝景，久遠潺潺，凌于九霄之氣，氤氳香山之景。延以遷客騷人，雅俗共賞。故其修心者，養(yǎng)性修靈。
