圭峰山因(yin)距草堂寺(si)不遠,歷來(lai)即為游覽(lan)勝地。宋代范仲淹(yan)曾于圭峰月下游宴,聽笛(di)聲依山而(er)起(qi),后回憶此(ci)事,有“安得如(ru)圭峰月,依高松(song)聽吹(chui)笛(di)乎”之語,此(ci)景得名(ming)于此(ci)。
從西(xi)(xi)安(an)(an)市(shi)走(zou)西(xi)(xi)萬路(lu)到達灃峪口,然后沿(yan)環山(shan)(shan)旅游路(lu)向西(xi)(xi)行不(bu)遠,就(jiu)會遠遠看見(jian)秦(qin)嶺山(shan)(shan)脈(mo)西(xi)(xi)南向有一山(shan)(shan)峰拔地(di)而(er)起(qi),在(zai)群嶺中突兀,依伴大山(shan)(shan),俯臨(lin)平(ping)原,峰頂尖峭,直插天際,這(zhe)就(jiu)是戶縣的圭峰山(shan)(shan)了。如果從秦(qin)嶺長安(an)(an)高山(shan)(shan)流水(shui)別墅區眺望圭峰,山(shan)(shan)峰更(geng)顯(xian)得奇險秀峻美,所以(yi),在(zai)當地(di)有鄠邑的山(shan)(shan)長安(an)(an)的景之說(shuo)。
圭峰(feng)(feng)(feng)山(shan)位于鄠邑區(qu)東南17公里的太(tai)平峪西側(ce),海(hai)拔1498.2米,從北面(mian)觀,似(si)(si)古代圭玉。民國(guo)二十二年《重(zhong)修戶縣志》曰:“山(shan)峰(feng)(feng)(feng)重(zhong)疊似(si)(si)圭”,故謂之圭峰(feng)(feng)(feng)山(shan)。當地(di)人(ren)喜歡稱尖(jian)山(shan)。圭峰(feng)(feng)(feng)三面(mian)臨空(kong)絕壁,南面(mian)一嶺(ling)相連,可(ke)攀(pan)上峰(feng)(feng)(feng)頂(ding)。圭峰(feng)(feng)(feng)在唐時即為名(ming)山(shan),因唐時名(ming)僧定惠法師曾在山(shan)上建寺(圭峰(feng)(feng)(feng)寺)并(bing)從事禪誦而得名(ming)。
圭峰(feng)(feng)山上有池,秋(qiu)月(yue)射之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi),澄澈如鏡。《重修戶縣(xian)志》記(ji)載:“圭峰(feng)(feng)曾有別墅,暮山紫翠(cui),橫(heng)絕天(tian)表(biao),月(yue)高露(lu)下(xia)(xia),群動漸(jian)息,忽(hu)有笛(di)聲自(zi)西山而起,上拂云漢(han),下(xia)(xia)滿(man)林壑,清風自(zi)發,長煙不生,聽(ting)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi),天(tian)人物(wu)灑(sa)然如在冰壺中(zhong)也。”圭峰(feng)(feng)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)美如此,故(gu)有“圭峰(feng)(feng)夜月(yue)”之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)稱(cheng)。秋(qiu)晚(wan),月(yue)明星稀之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)夜,于(yu)圭峰(feng)(feng)山下(xia)(xia),仰(yang)(yang)首明月(yue),懸(xuan)與(yu)(yu)暮天(tian)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)際,掛與(yu)(yu)青山之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)頂(ding),玉盤清寒,萬山寂寥,格(ge)外(wai)嫵媚。圭峰(feng)(feng)山虛空崖下(xia)(xia),有四(si)泉,成四(si)潭(tan),稱(cheng)“夜月(yue)池”,每當(dang)秋(qiu)夏之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)夜,明月(yue)高懸(xuan),銀光(guang)灑(sa)瀉,四(si)池清澈如鏡,宛(wan)生四(si)個月(yue)亮,俯視(shi)四(si)池泛月(yue)四(si)輪,上仰(yang)(yang)壁崖,映(ying)月(yue)四(si)面,故(gu)有“天(tian)上一輪月(yue),圭峰(feng)(feng)十二圓”。
