Appreciating the content of the lyrics is to taste the theme of the lyrics, which requires the appreciator to be good at accurately capturing and analyzing the typical music images created in the lyrics, trying to understand the situation and feelings, so as to make a comprehensive evaluation and draw a conclusion. Some lyrics must also be combined with the creative background to understand the content and emotion they express, otherwise there will be deviations. The song "Missing in the Flood" has a clear theme, strong feelings, affectionate tunes and great appeal. During the flood fighting in 1998, it gave great spiritual encouragement to the broad masses of soldiers and civilians. In content, it has successfully created some distinctive musical images: floods, small wooden boats, men, folk and so on. And these images are combined into a flood fighting and emergency rescue map, which shows the lofty spirit of a flood fighting soldier who only cares about the lives and property of his own villagers in the face of raging floods, and praises this great spirit of sacrificing himself to save others.
Appreciating the form (artistic features) of the lyrics requires the appreciator to have an overall grasp of the objects he appreciates, and then analyze how the musical images in the lyrics relate to express distinct themes and produce good artistic effects. The Moon in the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan is a song with healthy content, fresh style and beautiful melody, which is deeply loved by young people. In terms of artistic characteristics, it expresses the soldiers' deep nostalgia for their wives in a comparative way. The husband is patrolling, standing guard and on duty to defend the security of the motherland; His wife plowed the land in her hometown and shouldered the burden of the whole family. A bright moon closely linked the soldier with his distant wife. Although separated from Wan Li, they are soul mates. It is my wish and yours to end the lyrics with a family reunion, which strongly shows the patriotic feelings of parting couples.
Things are interrelated, and various arts are often interlinked in form. "A good lyric poem is often a good poem" (the language of Hu Ming Dao), which is the truth. For this reason, the method of appreciating lyrics is roughly the same as that of appreciating poetry. They are similar in image-building and expression skills, but they are also similar in language expression, that is, they all pay attention to the external tempering of rhythm and words. From this perspective, "appreciating prosodic language" is also one of the elements of lyrics appreciation.
