李家山村的名氣可是大畫家吳冠中帶出來的。他一生有三大發(fā)現(xiàn)，李家山就是其中之一。李家山村位于嘖口古鎮(zhèn)南3公里處，隱于大山深處，空靈幽雅。著名畫家吳冠中1989年10月到李家山采風(fēng)時驚呼這里像“漢墓”，他說:從外部看像一座荒涼的漢墓，一進去是很古老講究的窯洞，古村相對封閉，像與世隔絕的桃花源。

        李氏家族經(jīng)世代繁衍，到清中葉已成大戶。時值磧口商阜繁榮，李家也插足于商業(yè)。據(jù)（宗譜）與口碑資料佐證，時李家山有東西兩大財主，東財主李登祥，人稱祥財主，在磧口開的“德合店”、“萬盛永”；西財主李德峰，在磧口開的“三和厚”。此兩家財路亨通、日進斗銀，在磧口可以與西灣村陳氏比富。
有了錢，就逐漸開始大動土木。他們請來風(fēng)水先生觀看，見李家山村有兩條向南流的小溝，在村南匯合，注入黃河，兩溝之間的山峁，形似鳳凰頭，左右兩山則是風(fēng)翼了。這個四面環(huán)山的地形，風(fēng)水先生連連說好：“此屯系艮龍庚向，東山月出中格穴也，毋逶迤者恐丑寅氣入也，富而且貴龍之應(yīng)……”
　　東財主家在鳳身上修建，西財主家在鳳的右翼上修建，鳳的左翼依然是舊村。東西財主好象在暗暗較量，在幾百米約 40度的高山坡上，精心設(shè)計，精心施工，依山就勢，高下疊置，從溝到頂，多達(dá)九層，其造型不同，風(fēng)格殊異。
　　李家山村的建筑均以水磨磚對縫砌筑，磚、木、石雕及精美匾額比比皆是。建筑形式多以磚拱頂（窯洞）明柱廈檐四合院為主，且依山坐樓。側(cè)房、馬棚多為一潑水和雙潑水硬山頂瓦房。街道高高低低，用條石砌棱，用塊石鋪面。水路布局合理，溝心卷洞，送出村外。

        現(xiàn)在李家山村大大小小有百十來院， 400多孔（間）住舍，居住著220多戶人家， 760多口人。西面清代建筑群，多為李姓居住，雖有一些破破爛爛，卻還基本保存完好。鳳的左翼溝里，依然還稱舊村或小村，住著陳、崔兩姓人家，他們說在李姓遷來之前，這兒叫陳家灣。
　　小村和大村相比，建筑風(fēng)格完全是兩個天地。小村至今還有人住著“一柱香”獨門獨窗土窯洞，有人說他們還是過著原始穴居生活，那就住房而言，一點兒也不是夸張。另外村子里多以土窯接口子，石拱窯洞，磚瓦建筑是很少見的。
　　李家山村民居的形態(tài)在八種以上，這些無論豪華的清代建筑群，還是穴居生活的土窯洞，無不附著中華民族的靈魂，它確系民族的東西。正如專家們說，這兒的自然風(fēng)光與人文景觀交相輝映，它蘊藏著黃土民情風(fēng)俗和豐厚的黃河文化。

        有了名氣就招人待見，國慶前，磧口最熱鬧的地方就這李家山，攝影的，畫畫的成群結(jié)隊。我們主要轉(zhuǎn)了大村，小村方向走了走，看看沒啥就沒有往里走。這里雖然是磧口的熱門，但不收門票，頂多開店的借著旅游發(fā)點財，一般的村民依舊靠出門打工掙錢。李家山的棗甜，村邊上的棗樹林任你吃個夠，呵呵，不錯！
