There are many similarities between some contemporary pop music and ancient poetry in expressing emotions and life, which constitutes the tacit understanding between ancient poetry and pop music in lyricism. The emotional expression of pop music is more straightforward and rhythmic. "I wish people a long time", "I cut plums, and the lotus root is fragrant and dew is lingering in autumn" and "When will spring flowers and autumn moon be?" Are classic poems selected from middle school textbooks. Some talented composers have found the best combination of classical poetry and modern pop notes, making it a modern pop song. Under the background of modern culture, the popular way is more easily accepted by high school students. When Wang Fei sings a melody with an ethereal voice, when An Wen interprets Li Qingzhao's thoughts with delicacy, and when Paula Tsui sings Li Yu's sadness, the students seem to enter the emotional world of the protagonist. Under such a melody, students are easy to imagine and associate impulsively, so as to further interpret the language connotation of ancient poetry and break through the Millennium gap to feel the feelings, joys and sorrows of the ancients. By directly introducing contemporary popular elements into teaching, students will gradually change from unconscious listening to conscious singing, and students' core literacy of Chinese will also be improved over time, which is in line with the concept of "big Chinese".
