5/5
天后宫地处舞水西岸、与芷江县城隔河相望,是内陆最大的妈祖庙,建于清朝乾隆十三年(公元1748年),占地3700多平方米,宫中有戏台、正殿、观音堂,左为财神殿,右为武圣殿和五通神殿,全部建筑结构完整。  参观石雕艺术的专家无不称扬此坊工艺之绝无仅有,谓之江南一绝。宫内置有沈从文手书段氏墓志墓碑,文共600字,系青石碑体。为沈从文于民国10年(时年18岁)在芷江团防总局任师爷兼收税员时,受人所托为战死警备队长段治贤手书的墓碑,柳体行书,字迹工整隽秀,流畅洒脱而不刻板。1987年10月12日,中国著名画家美协副主席黄永玉先生专程由北京前来芷江拓印沈从文之碑文手迹。同时宫中还展出芷江出土旧石器时代以来很有研究价值的文物100多件。  门坊高11米,宽63米,贵州大青石垒砌,呈门楼形。两侧雄狮踞,前有青石雕花栏杆圈围成台,中间十五级台阶刀门。门坊除2.5米宽,2.6米高的门洞外,上下左右均为青石浮雕,共50幅。大幅石雕有2.5平方米,小幅有0.3平方米。鱼龙凤狮、花草、树木、神鬼人仙,形象生动逼真,画面清晰如故。或一幅为一典,或数幅合为一典,如“孤洞劲竹”、“永庆升平”、“天下巡天”、“八仙飘海”之类,则八幅为一典。还有不知名目者。门洞上方正中镶嵌的“天石宫”石刻匾额,字体浑厚圆润,施斧凿亦曲尽书法家之地。
