A Study of the Cultural Representation of the Integration of Song Lyrics Music and Confucianism

Abstract

Song lyrics music is not only a form of text, but also an art form that is deeply integrated with music, and its musical features have many connections with Confucian thought and culture. This study is based on the LDA theme model to mine and extract the relevant theme word frequencies of the cultural expression of Confucianism in Song lyrics music, and the LDAvis visual theme tool shows the results of the LDA theme model analysis, and based on the results, explores the cultural expression of the fusion of Song lyrics music and Confucianism. The results of LDA theme model mining and analysis show that there are four clusters in the theme of cultural expression of the integration of Song music and Confucianism, among which the total distribution probability of "benevolence" and "etiquette" in Confucian culture is 6.60% and 4.90%, respectively, indicating that the Confucian idea of "benevolence and righteousness" also has a significant influence on Song poetry and music. This paper's study of cultural performance under the fusion of Confucianism and Song lyrics music can provide some reference for modern researchers of Song lyrics music as well as Confucianism literature.
