江山(jiāngshān)

本義指河流和山嶺，代指一個國家的政權及其所覆蓋的全部疆域(義同“河山”)。這種用法隱含著這樣的觀念：河流、山嶺地形險要，是衛(wèi)護國家安全、政權穩(wěn)固的天然屏障;疆域是國家的構成要素。

Rivers and Mountains / Country or State Power
The term, similar in meaning to heshan (河山), literarily means rivers and mountains. It is used to refer to the sovereignty of a state and all its territory. The term has these implications: rivers and mountains provide natural barriers that protect the country and its sovereignty; territory is the key feature of a state.
