Abstract: As we know，Ge Mai is an imaginative Chinese contemporary poet，but the demarcation of experience and imagination in his poems is ambiguous. Though he has lived in north China，his personal statement and poems were full of strong“South”complex. What’s more，Ge Mai’s“South Poems”were permeated with the imagination about“South”. But these facts do not mean that Ge Mai is a“South Poet”. On the contrary，these facts have testified that the demarcation of“North Poems”and“South Poems”is inexistence. Ge Mai’s“South Poems”were in deep relationship with Borges’s poems and novels.Furthermore，Ge Mai’s “South Composition”has reflected his endeavor in poem language，and his endeavor is also full of imagination.

Key words: Ge Mai；contemporary poems, South, Borges, experience, imagination
