Half the City Is Mountains, Half the City Is Water/半城山半城水 [Chinese]

By 马忠

Half City Mountains, Half City Waters is an original poetry collection by the writer Ma Zhong. The collection brings together nearly one hundred poems, including "Ode to the Great River," "Cloud Sea over Huangshan Mountain," and "The Enchanting Charm of Jiuzi," with the landscapes of Jiangnan (the region south of the Yangtze River) and Hui-style culture as its backdrop, focusing on the cultural and natural features of the poet's hometown of Wuhu and the Jianghuai region. The works blend a deep attachment to the poet's homeland with a profound love for the nation. They depict not only the ethereal beauty of Huangshan, Jiuhua, and Longmian Mountains but also the gentle charm of the Yangtze River, Chaohu Lake, and Qingyi River. The poems evoke the nostalgic charm of rural traditions while celebrating the vitality of urban renewal and the spirit of the times. Written in refined, elegant, and poetic language, the collection fuses classical imagery with modern sensibilities. Between the lines flows a deep affection for the landscapes of Jiangnan, a deep nostalgia for the poet's homeland, and a warm passion for life and the times. This is a distinguished poetry collection that embodies both the depth of regional culture and the value of literary artistry. 《半城山半城水》是作家马忠的原创诗集，全书收录《大江颂》《黄山云海》《鸠兹神韵》等近百首诗作，以江南山水与徽派文化为底色，聚焦芜湖故土与江淮大地的人文风貌。作品兼具乡土眷恋与家国情怀，既描摹黄山、九华、龙眠山的灵秀，也书写长江、巢湖、青弋江的温婉；既追忆乡村旧韵，也礼赞城市新生与时代发展。语言凝练雅致、诗意盎然，融合古典意境与现代情怀，字里行间流淌着对江南山水的深情、对故土人文的眷恋，以及对生活与时代的热忱，是一部兼具地域文化厚度与文学审美价值的精品诗集。
