圭峰山因距草堂寺不(bu)遠,歷來即為游(you)覽(lan)勝地。宋代(dai)范仲淹曾于圭峰月下游(you)宴,聽(ting)笛(di)聲(sheng)依山而起,后回(hui)憶此事(shi),有“安(an)得如圭峰月,依高松聽(ting)吹笛(di)乎”之語,此景得名于此。
從西(xi)安市走(zou)西(xi)萬路到達灃峪口,然后沿環山(shan)(shan)旅游路向(xiang)西(xi)行不(bu)遠,就會遠遠看見秦(qin)嶺(ling)山(shan)(shan)脈(mo)西(xi)南向(xiang)有一山(shan)(shan)峰拔地而起,在(zai)群嶺(ling)中突兀,依伴大山(shan)(shan),俯臨平原(yuan),峰頂尖峭(qiao),直插天際(ji),這就是戶縣的(de)圭(gui)峰山(shan)(shan)了。如果從秦(qin)嶺(ling)長安高山(shan)(shan)流水(shui)別(bie)墅區眺望圭(gui)峰,山(shan)(shan)峰更(geng)顯得奇險秀峻美,所以,在(zai)當地有鄠邑的(de)山(shan)(shan)長安的(de)景(jing)之說。
圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)山(shan)位于鄠邑(yi)區東南17公里的太平峪(yu)西側,海拔1498.2米,從北面觀(guan),似古(gu)代(dai)圭(gui)(gui)玉(yu)。民國二十二年《重修戶(hu)縣志(zhi)》曰(yue):“山(shan)峰(feng)(feng)重疊似圭(gui)(gui)”,故(gu)謂之圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)山(shan)。當地人喜歡稱尖山(shan)。圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)三面臨(lin)空(kong)絕壁,南面一嶺(ling)相連,可攀上峰(feng)(feng)頂。圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)在唐時(shi)即為名(ming)山(shan),因唐時(shi)名(ming)僧定惠法(fa)師曾在山(shan)上建寺(圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)寺)并從事禪誦(song)而得名(ming)。
圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)(feng)山上有池(chi),秋(qiu)(qiu)月(yue)(yue)射之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi),澄澈如(ru)(ru)鏡(jing)。《重修戶(hu)縣志(zhi)》記載:“圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)(feng)曾有別墅,暮山紫翠,橫(heng)絕天表,月(yue)(yue)高(gao)(gao)露下,群(qun)動漸息,忽有笛聲自西山而起,上拂云漢,下滿林(lin)壑,清風(feng)自發,長煙不生,聽之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi),天人物灑然如(ru)(ru)在(zai)冰(bing)壺中也。”圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)(feng)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)美如(ru)(ru)此,故有“圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)(feng)夜(ye)(ye)月(yue)(yue)”之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)稱。秋(qiu)(qiu)晚(wan),月(yue)(yue)明星稀之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)夜(ye)(ye),于(yu)圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)(feng)山下,仰(yang)首明月(yue)(yue),懸(xuan)與暮天之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)際,掛與青山之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)頂,玉盤清寒,萬山寂寥(liao),格外嫵媚。圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)(feng)山虛空崖下,有四泉,成四潭,稱“夜(ye)(ye)月(yue)(yue)池(chi)”,每當(dang)秋(qiu)(qiu)夏之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)夜(ye)(ye),明月(yue)(yue)高(gao)(gao)懸(xuan),銀光灑瀉,四池(chi)清澈如(ru)(ru)鏡(jing),宛生四個月(yue)(yue)亮,俯(fu)視四池(chi)泛月(yue)(yue)四輪,上仰(yang)壁崖,映月(yue)(yue)四面,故有“天上一(yi)輪月(yue)(yue),圭(gui)(gui)峰(feng)(feng)(feng)十二圓”。
