For this reason, this study refers to the academic literature related to Mongolian music at home and abroad, as well as the works collection of in the modernization of Mongolian traditional music such as “Inner Mongolia folk songs and folk songs” and “grassland new songs”. Based on the classification theme, literature and popularity of songs, this study selects 12 representative songs from more than 400 songs included in the works collection, and analyzes their lyrics. The results can be summarized as follows: first, from the lyrics of modernization of Mongolian traditional music, we can see the distinctive “aesthetic characteristics of socialist realism”, namely “people’s nature”, “party spirit” and “class nature”. Second, In the songs of the modernization of Mongolian traditional music, it is found that the “beauty of artistic conception” of national aesthetics is the unity of emotion and scenery, content and form, subjective and objective, which injects emotion into things through metaphor and personification, and then turns into poetic images. Third, in the modern songs of Mongolian traditional music, we can see the “national religious consciousness” of “life and female worship” left over from the ancient national belief Shamanism. Fourth, in the songs of the modernization of Mongolian traditional music, we can feel the strong “symbolism of national culture” of national culture through the cultural symbols containing the inner world of poetic narrator and the connotation of national culture. On the other hand it can also be seen from the development process of the modernization of Mongolian traditional music for more than 70 years that the literary and artistic policies and economic policies in different periods have had a great impact on its development, which also proves the importance of a country’s social politics and economy to the development of culture and art. It is true that art in any country can not completely get rid of the influence of politics, but the Complex spiritual labor like art should not be defined and controlled by politics, and its pure spiritual world should always belong to the human individual itself.
