圭峰(feng)山因距草堂(tang)寺不(bu)遠,歷來(lai)即(ji)為游(you)覽勝(sheng)地。宋代(dai)范仲淹曾于(yu)圭峰(feng)月下游(you)宴,聽(ting)笛(di)聲依(yi)山而起,后回憶此(ci)事,有“安得如圭峰(feng)月,依(yi)高松聽(ting)吹笛(di)乎”之語,此(ci)景(jing)得名(ming)于(yu)此(ci)。
從西(xi)安市走(zou)西(xi)萬路(lu)到達灃峪口,然(ran)后沿(yan)環山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)旅游路(lu)向(xiang)西(xi)行不遠,就(jiu)(jiu)會(hui)遠遠看見(jian)秦嶺山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)脈西(xi)南向(xiang)有(you)一山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)峰(feng)(feng)(feng)拔(ba)地(di)而起,在群嶺中突兀,依伴(ban)大山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan),俯臨平原(yuan),峰(feng)(feng)(feng)頂尖峭(qiao),直(zhi)插(cha)天際,這就(jiu)(jiu)是戶縣的(de)圭(gui)峰(feng)(feng)(feng)山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)了(le)。如果(guo)從秦嶺長安高山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)流水別墅區眺望圭(gui)峰(feng)(feng)(feng),山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)峰(feng)(feng)(feng)更(geng)顯得奇險秀峻美,所以,在當地(di)有(you)鄠邑的(de)山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)長安的(de)景之說。
圭(gui)(gui)(gui)(gui)峰山(shan)位(wei)于鄠邑區東南17公(gong)里的(de)太平峪西側,海(hai)拔1498.2米,從北(bei)面觀,似(si)古代(dai)圭(gui)(gui)(gui)(gui)玉。民國二(er)十二(er)年《重(zhong)(zhong)修戶縣志》曰:“山(shan)峰重(zhong)(zhong)疊似(si)圭(gui)(gui)(gui)(gui)”,故謂之圭(gui)(gui)(gui)(gui)峰山(shan)。當地人(ren)喜歡稱尖山(shan)。圭(gui)(gui)(gui)(gui)峰三面臨空絕(jue)壁,南面一嶺相連,可(ke)攀上(shang)峰頂。圭(gui)(gui)(gui)(gui)峰在(zai)唐時即為名山(shan),因唐時名僧定惠法師(shi)曾在(zai)山(shan)上(shang)建寺(圭(gui)(gui)(gui)(gui)峰寺)并從事禪誦(song)而(er)得(de)名。
圭峰山上(shang)有(you)(you)池,秋(qiu)月射(she)之,澄澈如鏡。《重修(xiu)戶(hu)縣志》記載(zai):“圭峰曾有(you)(you)別墅,暮(mu)山紫翠(cui),橫(heng)絕天表(biao),月高(gao)露(lu)下(xia)(xia)(xia),群動漸息,忽(hu)有(you)(you)笛聲自西山而起,上(shang)拂云漢,下(xia)(xia)(xia)滿林(lin)壑,清(qing)風(feng)自發,長煙不生,聽之,天人物灑然(ran)如在冰壺(hu)中(zhong)也。”圭峰之美如此,故(gu)有(you)(you)“圭峰夜(ye)月”之稱(cheng)。秋(qiu)晚,月明星(xing)稀之夜(ye),于圭峰山下(xia)(xia)(xia),仰首明月,懸(xuan)與(yu)暮(mu)天之際,掛與(yu)青山之頂(ding),玉盤(pan)清(qing)寒,萬山寂寥,格外嫵媚。圭峰山虛空崖下(xia)(xia)(xia),有(you)(you)四泉(quan),成四潭,稱(cheng)“夜(ye)月池”,每當(dang)秋(qiu)夏之夜(ye),明月高(gao)懸(xuan),銀光(guang)灑瀉,四池清(qing)澈如鏡,宛生四個月亮,俯視(shi)四池泛月四輪,上(shang)仰壁(bi)崖,映月四面(mian),故(gu)有(you)(you)“天上(shang)一(yi)輪月,圭峰十二圓”。
