(1) Poetry and music combined into one.

Poetry expresses aspirations, songs speak forever, sounds linger, and rhythms are harmonious.

Poetry and music in ancient my country are integrated. Most of the "Three Hundred Poems" and the Yuefu poems of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties are suitable for music and can be sung. "Yuefu" was originally the name of the government music organization in the Han Dynasty. The five- and seven-character ancient poems after the Han Dynasty and the modern poems after the Tang Dynasty began to be mere poems but not songs. The ancient Yuefu poems of the Tang Dynasty are no longer consistent with the new Yuefu poems, but are actually ancient style poems. There are also quatrains in the Tang Dynasty that can be sung with music, or are called "Tang Dynasty Yuefu". They are sometimes confused with Ci, such as "Yangguan Song", "Yangliu Branch", etc., which are also used as the names of Ci tunes.

Although the singing method of Song lyrics has long been lost, readers can still feel the beauty of the music rhythm from the lines of the words by relying on the sound at that time or filling in the lyrics later according to the score, which may be lingering and graceful, or elegant and remote, or impassioned. Or it can be depressing, soul-stirring, and has a special kind of infectious power.

Appreciate the two expressions of "Inscription on a Humble Room" accompanied by poetry recitation and singing.

(2) Follow poetry with pleasure.

Poetry provides rich and colorful creative forms for music.

1. Appreciating "Spring Dawn"

Through reciting poems to music, students can become familiar with it and grasp the poetic context. "Spring Dawn" is a short poem by the poet describing the vitality of spring. The poem is fresh and natural, and the sound and scenery are complete. If you ponder it carefully, you can see the ingenuity in the ordinary and understand the true meaning in nature. The four short and easy-to-understand sentences are without any trace of polishing or artificial emotion, and are soaked with the poet's love and joy for nature and spring.

By analyzing and singing themes, understand the characteristics of musical language combined with poetry. The song "Spring Dawn" has only eight short measures and four small phrases. The sound patterns of the four phrases basically adopt the rhythm pattern of ×·　×　××　×　. Therefore, it is conducive to the expression of the rigorous format and phonology of ancient poetry, and the use of dotted rhythm further expresses the vitality of spring.

2． Appreciate "Shui Tiao Ge Tou"

Then understand the meaning of the words by listening to the music and reciting the poem. "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" is a profoundly meaningful lyric written by Su Dongpo in the ninth year of Xining (1076). At that time, Su Shi encountered setbacks in his official career for the first time, and his inner world was extremely complicated and contradictory. The lyrics not only express this psychological contradiction by chanting the moon, but also include the sincere feelings, beautiful wishes, philosophy of life and natural laws, so that people can not only feel the beauty, but also get philosophical enlightenment from it.

Compare and appreciate. Faye Wong’s singing version increased students’ enthusiasm for participation. Expand your appreciation of "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" composed by Chen Qigang. For this piece, the composer used an art form that combined vocals with a chamber orchestra. The singers absorbed the performance methods of opera music represented by Kun Opera and Peking Opera, which are "according to the words" and "the words are correct and the tune is round", and vividly expressed the words, sentences, voice, tones and artistic conception in Su Shi's lyrics.

3. Thinking and practice

1. There are no people in the empty mountain, but you can hear people (birds) singing.

I advise you to drink another glass of wine, and there will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west.

3. Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is familiar to me.

When the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as fire, and when spring comes, the river is as green as blue. How can we not remember Jiangnan?

4. The big strings are noisy like the rain, and the small strings are like whispers.

Noisy and jumbled bullets, big and small beads falling onto the jade plate.

5. I don't see my old friend in front of me, and I don't see anyone coming after me. I think about the long journey between heaven and earth, and I shed tears with sadness.

6. The spring river tide reaches the sea level, and the bright moon on the sea rises with the tide.

(3) Lyrics based on sound

Literary creation pays attention to the beauty of rhythm and form, and music provides a harmonious foundation for it.

1. Appreciating "Farewell"

In the early 20th century in my country, a generation of educators represented by Li Shutong inherited the creative method of traditional Chinese music that had been established since the Tang and Song Dynasties, and used the technique of echolalia to create lyrics. A batch of "school music songs". For example, the song "Farewell" was originally an American song "Dream of Hometown and Mother" that was popular in the 19th century. Li Shutong filled in the current lyrics based on the nostalgia and melancholy mood of the original song, and changed the name to say goodbye. This song is concise, clean and smooth, rich in literary talent, and has a perfect combination of dictionaries. It is very popular among the masses and has been widely circulated.

On Sunday, the weather is fine, let’s go for a spring outing . We walked from village to village and saw beautiful scenery everywhere.

Peach blossoms are red, willows are green, and cauliflower is like gold. The sound of singing floats in the wind, one after another.

This song is catchy, easy to learn and sing, and easy to remember. This simple line drawing technique is worth learning by everyone. Please sing the above two verses along with the melody first, and then try to create your own lyrics.
