圭峰(feng)山(shan)因距草堂(tang)寺不遠,歷(li)來即為(wei)游(you)覽(lan)勝地。宋代范仲淹曾于圭峰(feng)月下游(you)宴(yan),聽笛聲依山(shan)而起,后回憶此(ci)事,有(you)“安得(de)如圭峰(feng)月,依高松聽吹笛乎”之語,此(ci)景得(de)名于此(ci)。
從西(xi)安市走西(xi)萬路到達灃(feng)峪口,然后(hou)沿(yan)環山(shan)(shan)(shan)旅游路向西(xi)行不遠,就(jiu)會遠遠看見秦(qin)嶺山(shan)(shan)(shan)脈西(xi)南(nan)向有一山(shan)(shan)(shan)峰拔地(di)而(er)起,在(zai)群(qun)嶺中突兀,依伴大(da)山(shan)(shan)(shan),俯臨(lin)平(ping)原,峰頂尖(jian)峭,直插天際,這就(jiu)是戶(hu)縣的圭峰山(shan)(shan)(shan)了。如果從秦(qin)嶺長安高山(shan)(shan)(shan)流水別墅區眺望圭峰,山(shan)(shan)(shan)峰更(geng)顯得奇險秀峻(jun)美(mei),所以,在(zai)當地(di)有鄠邑的山(shan)(shan)(shan)長安的景之說。
圭(gui)(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)山位于鄠邑區(qu)東南17公里(li)的太平峪西(xi)側,海拔1498.2米,從(cong)(cong)北(bei)面觀,似(si)古代圭(gui)(gui)(gui)玉。民(min)國二十二年(nian)《重修戶縣(xian)志》曰:“山峰(feng)(feng)重疊似(si)圭(gui)(gui)(gui)”,故謂之圭(gui)(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)山。當地人喜歡稱尖山。圭(gui)(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)三面臨空絕壁,南面一嶺相連,可攀上(shang)峰(feng)(feng)頂。圭(gui)(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)在唐(tang)時即為名(ming)山,因唐(tang)時名(ming)僧定惠法師曾在山上(shang)建寺(圭(gui)(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)寺)并從(cong)(cong)事禪誦而得名(ming)。
圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)山(shan)(shan)上(shang)有(you)(you)池,秋月(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)射之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi),澄澈如鏡。《重修戶縣志》記載:“圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)曾有(you)(you)別墅,暮山(shan)(shan)紫翠(cui),橫(heng)絕天(tian)表,月(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)高露(lu)下,群動(dong)漸息(xi),忽有(you)(you)笛聲(sheng)自(zi)西山(shan)(shan)而起,上(shang)拂云漢(han),下滿(man)林壑(he),清(qing)風自(zi)發,長(chang)煙不生,聽(ting)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi),天(tian)人物灑(sa)然如在(zai)冰壺中也。”圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)美(mei)如此,故(gu)(gu)有(you)(you)“圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)夜月(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)”之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)稱(cheng)。秋晚,月(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)明(ming)星稀(xi)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)夜,于圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)山(shan)(shan)下,仰(yang)首明(ming)月(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue),懸與(yu)暮天(tian)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)際,掛與(yu)青山(shan)(shan)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)頂,玉(yu)盤(pan)清(qing)寒,萬山(shan)(shan)寂(ji)寥,格(ge)外(wai)嫵媚。圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)山(shan)(shan)虛空崖下,有(you)(you)四(si)(si)泉,成四(si)(si)潭(tan),稱(cheng)“夜月(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)池”,每(mei)當秋夏之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)夜,明(ming)月(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)高懸,銀光灑(sa)瀉,四(si)(si)池清(qing)澈如鏡,宛(wan)生四(si)(si)個月(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)亮,俯視四(si)(si)池泛月(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)四(si)(si)輪(lun),上(shang)仰(yang)壁(bi)崖,映(ying)月(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)四(si)(si)面,故(gu)(gu)有(you)(you)“天(tian)上(shang)一輪(lun)月(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue),圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)十(shi)二圓”。
