洛寧,素有“綠竹之鄉”之美譽。其淡竹栽培歷史悠久(距今已有4000余年),北魏曾有“山川澄秀,竹木蓊郁”之記載;栽植地域廣大(現有7000余畝竹園),真是“竹林蔥郁千山翠,綠海蒼茫萬頃濤”。淡竹因其桿高挺秀碧綠,姿態婆裟秀麗,幽雅別致,風趣獨特被列為著名園林觀賞樹種。神靈寨國家森林公園金門河景區的金門韻竹古時就被譽為“永寧八景”之一。春筍吐秀,夏蔭鳥鳴,秋葉含情,冬竿傲雪。人們在欣賞的同時,也留下了諸多吟詠。《金門竹韻》曰:“金門翠竹滿山顛,卻勝淇泉于渭川。管取伶倫非率爾,聲諧律呂自天然。風簧響應銀笙葉,雅韻疑從玉管傳。更有知音張建白,構廬曾結此君緣”。呂俊恒《金門山曉望》曰:“隱隱有冥思,高高八九峰。云濤翻海日,涌出金芙蓉。地嘯千巖竹,天鳴萬壑鐘。右軍遺片石,風雨護蛟龍”。
