近年来，在四川北部南坪县境内，闪现出一颗五光十色的风光“宝石”，这就是人们赞不绝口的“神话世界”九寨沟。它镶嵌在松潘、南坪、平武三县接壤的群山之中，面积约6万公顷，距成都约400公里。九寨沟，由树正群海沟、则查洼沟、日则沟三条主沟组成，海拔平均在2，500米左右。过去，沟中有九个藏族村寨，因此得名。

海狭长数里。水光浮翠，倒映林岚。”九寨沟风光之美，实际上百倍于这样的描绘。就四川的名山秀水而论，总是有它们各自的独特风格和个性的。如峨嵋山的“秀”，青城山的“幽”，剑门关的“险”，夔门的“雄”。九寨沟的风光，因它的内涵丰富，很难以一字穷述，还须继续探幽发微。说它宛若“神话世界”，恐怕也只是见重于外在的美吧。

论山品水，古今时尚。或以诗，或以画，或以游记，或以摄影，运用各种不同的艺术手段，表现出山水风光的风格和个性。九寨沟风光的风格和个性，还在不断探索和认识的过程中.这里，得感谢一位长居山中的藏族老人，他讲述了九寨山水莱源的一则神话故事。他说在很古很古的时候，九寨沟万山丛中，有个男神仙达戈，和美丽的女神仙沃诺色嫫自由恋爱，男神仙用风云磨了一面镜子，送给女神仙作梳妆打扮用；女神仙接镜时失手，摔成108块碎片，散落山中，变成了108个“翠海”。古老的传说启发了我们：九寨沟的奇美风光，就在于它有这天然生成的108个“翠海”；从风光的结构上讲，它是以水为主体的，这就有别于其他山水的特色了。

祖国山水，风格多样；多样的风格，相对应而存在，相比较而多姿。杭州西湖，水榭歌台，人工赋予它典雅美。蜀中仙山峨嵋，飘浮于云涛雾海，呈秀色于烟雨浸漫的山林。誉满中华的桂林山水，水秀山奇，山水平分秋色。九寨沟风光，却又是另一番景象了。在那里，古树摇曳春秋，山花自谢自开，．植被茸茸生烟，海子和瀑布随着季节的推移而变幻多姿；在那里，冰河时期遗留下来的星叶草、独叶草、先花后叶的领春树，以及熊猫、金丝猴、扭角羚、白马鸡、獐、鹿……组合成了奇异的“动植物王国”。据南坪县对九寨风光有独到见解者讲：“九寨沟的山水风光，纵有万丽千奇，一旦离开原始的自然美，就一切都没有了。”他们的见解是精辟的。当你步人沟中，便可见树正群海淡荡生辉，瀑布舒洒碧玉。一到金秋，满山枫叶降红。盛夏，湖山幽翠。仲春，树绿花艳……四时都呈现出它的天然原始，宁静幽深。日则沟里的镜湖、五花海，则查洼沟里的五彩池，虽缤纷艳丽，但令人迷醉的却是绚丽的和谐景色。这种独特的景观，只有在这个自然保护区才能见到。因此说，天然原始是九寨沟风光的个性和风格，是比较得当的。

当然，这并不排除九寨沟风光的其他特点，它的风景点集中，它的三条主沟，各具特色而又富多种魅力。一位经验丰富纵览过世界风光的国际旅游企业家，曾在九寨沟风光最妩媚的秋天做了一次短游，他说：“像九寨沟这样美妙的景色，世界上是少有的。”他情不自禁地对陪同他的藏族副县长说：“你真幸福啊！你是世界上最美丽的县的县长。”
九寨沟风光，不愧是蜀中又一幅新的山水画卷。
