“Ru Meng Ling – Titled Huaishan Tower” is a poem written by Su Shi, a writer in the Song Dynasty. It was written in October of the fourth year of Xining reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song (1071). The first two sentences describe the magnificence and antiquity of Sizhou City, the third and fourth sentences describe the mood and scenery seen when looking at the south sky from afar, and the last three sentences are fictitious, imagining the scene when rushing to Songjiang the next night. The poem combines the nostalgia for the ancient monuments with the feeling of climbing the mountain. Although it is short, it is thought-provoking.
《如梦令·题淮山楼》是宋代文学家苏轼所作的一首词。作于宋神宗熙宁四年（1071年）十月。第一、二句写泗州城的壮丽和古老，第三、四句写遥望南天时的情态以及所见的景物，最后三句是虚拟，想象后夜赶到松江时的情景。该词把咏怀古迹与登临述感结合了起来，篇幅虽短，耐人寻味。
《如梦令·题淮山楼》 苏轼
城上层楼叠巘，
城下清淮古汴。
举手揖吴云，
人与暮天俱远。
魂断，
魂断，
后夜松江月满。
Dreamlike Song
On the Riverside Tower
Towers on city walls like peaks appear;
Below the walls flow rivers old and clear.
I raise my hand to greet the southern cloud on high
Only to find my friend as far apart
As the evening sky.
Broken’s my heart,
Broken’s my heart
To see another night
On Southern Stream a full moon bright.
