Even then the characteristics of the development of Chinese Ancient Poetry Sonsg in different periods are studied. The changes in the development process of Chinese Ancient Poetry Songs in modern times are explored and it is divided into 2 types: Chinese ancient songs and Chinese modern art songs. Through literature research, it found that the way of composition has become increasingly modern from the past to the present. The channels for the dissemination of Chinese Ancient Poetry Songs have become increasingly diverse. The combination of them indicates the unique meaning of Chinese culture. The artistic conception has been studied in historical development. As an emerging art form, ancient poetry song is a repackaging of Chinese ancient poetry, conveying richer cultural connotations in a new artistic form. Finally, Li Yu’s poetry song was used to deeply elaborate on how to sing and express the artistic conception of the lyrics, and suggestions for performance were put forward. It provides a new way for the inheritance and promotion of ancient Chinese poetry songs.
