金雞叫天門

    在半山寺前仰觀天都峰腰老人峰上，有一石如雄雞，頭朝天門坎，振翅欲啼。半山寺路側巖壁上，刻有“空中聞天雞”五字。
    這塊巧(qiao)石還伴(ban)有一(yi)個動人(ren)的(de)民間(jian)傳說：古時(shi)候，黃山(shan)紫云巖下的(de)小溪兩(liang)岸，居住著(zhu)銀(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)妹(mei)(mei)和(he)(he)金(jin)哥兩(liang)戶(hu)貧(pin)苦(ku)人(ren)家。金(jin)哥與銀(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)妹(mei)(mei)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)結伴(ban)上山(shan)挖藥采茶(cha)。天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)長(chang)日(ri)久(jiu)，兩(liang)人(ren)難舍難分(fen)。一(yi)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)，雙雙來(lai)到(dao)(dao)(dao)小溪邊，金(jin)哥吹(chui)起了(le)(le)竹(zhu)笛(di)，銀(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)妹(mei)(mei)唱起了(le)(le)山(shan)歌。不料這日(ri)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)上的(de)玉(yu)皇(huang)大(da)帝(di)也(ye)在游覽黃山(shan)，聽(ting)到(dao)(dao)(dao)銀(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)妹(mei)(mei)那(nei)(nei)百靈(ling)鳥般的(de)歌聲(sheng)(sheng)，便心想(xiang)娶她(ta)做妃(fei)子(zi)．金(jin)哥和(he)(he)銀(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)妹(mei)(mei)分(fen)手回到(dao)(dao)(dao)家后(hou)(hou)，玉(yu)帝(di)派(pai)的(de)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)兵(bing)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)將(jiang)就來(lai)到(dao)(dao)(dao)銀(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)妹(mei)(mei)家，告訴銀(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)妹(mei)(mei)說，玉(yu)帝(di)要娶她(ta)為妃(fei)，銀(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)妹(mei)(mei)死也(ye)不從。第二(er)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)，銀(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)妹(mei)(mei)和(he)(he)全(quan)哥剛要成親，突(tu)然(ran)狂風(feng)(feng)大(da)作，電(dian)閃雷鳴(ming)，天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)兵(bing)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)將(jiang)降(jiang)到(dao)(dao)(dao)屋中(zhong)，搶了(le)(le)銀(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)妹(mei)(mei)就走。金(jin)哥追到(dao)(dao)(dao)老人(ren)峰(feng)上，已(yi)不見銀(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)妹(mei)(mei)蹤影，便對著(zhu)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)門喊叫(jiao)銀(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)妹(mei)(mei)的(de)名字，連叫(jiao)七(qi)七(qi)四十九(jiu)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)，突(tu)然(ran)一(yi)陣風(feng)(feng)雨過后(hou)(hou)，金(jin)哥變成了(le)(le)一(yi)只(zhi)大(da)金(jin)雞(ji)，抬頭高叫(jiao)，聲(sheng)(sheng)音直沖(chong)九(jiu)霄。那(nei)(nei)悲苦(ku)凄厲的(de)叫(jiao)聲(sheng)(sheng)，震(zhen)塌了(le)(le)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)門，只(zhi)剩下一(yi)邊門坎，就成了(le)(le)如今看(kan)到(dao)(dao)(dao)的(de)“天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)門坎”．那(nei)(nei)金(jin)雞(ji)也(ye)隨著(zhu)化成了(le)(le)一(yi)塊巧(qiao)石，終日(ri)朝著(zhu)銀(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)(yin)妹(mei)(mei)走過的(de)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)門。這就是如今看(kan)到(dao)(dao)(dao)的(de)那(nei)(nei)高大(da)的(de)金(jin)雞(ji)永遠(yuan)望著(zhu)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)門坎的(de)奇(qi)景。今人(ren)有詩贊曰：“天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)外飛來(lai)翅未收，峰(feng)前玉(yu)立幾千秋。雄姿不怕(pa)風(feng)(feng)和(he)(he)雨，日(ri)對天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)門叫(jiao)不休。”
