Hopefully I'm using the v2 format correctly

---------------

I have searched online and through a large corpus of Chinese text I am assembling for 峙 - I can only find usages of 峙 as
a) As shi4, in 繁峙 (a place)
b) As zhi4, meaning "to stand" (as in 对峙)

I can't find anything about "peak" or "to store". I'm not sure where those senses come from but I think they're wrong.

Within my corpus I found 541 results for 峙. 524 of them were 对峙, the rest were 渊渟岳峙, and I've included some usages below.

>杨开就站在广场上,如渊渟岳峙,一身冷冽的气息,静静等候。
>她就像是张若惜的守护神一般,忽然出现在张若惜身后,英姿飒爽,渊渟岳峙,仿若即便有千军万马,也能被她一力挡下。
>杨开站在原地,护着姬瑶,一动不动,宛若神灵下凡,渊渟岳峙。
>三千人的前方,五道身影静立,个个气息强大,站在那里,渊渟岳峙,给人极大的压力。
> 巫亦商也不催她,他只是站在門口,表情冷峻,淵渟岳峙。
>“怕?不存在的,我跟你講,高手就要有種泰山崩于前而色不變氣勢!這叫淵渟岳峙!”

About the corpus - for now it mainly consists of a large number of very long Chinese novels (which I have not read as it would take me years to read it all). It is WIP and biased towards topics you might find in novels... like fantasy, fighting, space exploration, etc, so it definitely does not represent all usages of this character. I'm going to expand it over time but just posting what I have right now.

Editor:
1) The v2 formatting looks fine, except that I would put a hyphen in the middle of [[yuan1ting2yue4zhi4]], in line with the following rule:
https://www.pinyin.info/readings/zyg/rules.html#x4.8

The pinyin in a definition (e.g. "used in 繁峙[Fan2 shi4]") will need to change (➝ "used in 繁峙[Fan2shi4]") at some point (ideally, right after the entry for 繁峙 is updated to v2).


2) Thanks for providing usage examples for 渊渟岳峙. Apart from 对峙, I didn't find much usage myself either, but I did find these:

層層疊峙於雲海間,

當他乘船從淡水河口一路而上,穿過兩山夾峙的水道抵達關渡時,

或許是因台灣樂壇從未出現這樣的曲風,「向前走」一問世彷彿就在流行樂界丟下一顆炸彈,引起廣大的迴響及媒體報導;這首歌雄峙當年最紅的綜藝節目《金曲龍虎榜》──「台語最受歡迎歌曲」冠軍達40週之久,林強也從默默無名的鄉下小子,一躍成為家喻戶曉的偶像歌手。
It must have been because Taiwan had never before heard a song in such a style that "Marching Forward" hit like a bomb on the local music scene. It received a lot of attention and media coverage, and was the most popular Taiwanese-language song on the top variety show of the day for 40 weeks. Lim, a simple country boy, had become a pop idol overnight.


3) If you look at dictionaries that include archaic usage, you will find that 峙 actually does also mean both "peak" and "to store".
The definition in one of those dictionaries includes "mountain spur" and "pile up, lay up, store away".


4) I would say the definition of 对峙 should include "... each other" since the grammatical subject of that verb is typically plural (dual):
- 警民對峙
- 如果用兩軍對峙
- 造成閩粵客間緊張關係與對峙不斷,
- 南北對峙
