Abstract:

The Uyghur Muqam is an artistic treasure developed in the long history, which integrates various artistic expressions, such as songs, dances and instrumental performances. And it is one of the worlds intangible cultural heritage. Nowadays, Uyghur Muqam is facing challenges on the inheritance, development and dissemination in the digital era, with a lack of comprehensive information resource construction and mining. We used NLP techniques to process Uyghur Twelve Muqam lyrics. Then we applied topic analysis, co-occurrence word analysis and social network analysis towards the content. This work aims to extract the topics of the Twelve Muqam libretto, establish a co-occurrence word network and Poet-topic two-mode network. Our purpose is to explore the commonality and characteristics of Uyghur Twelve Muqam lyrics and styles among different poets, showing the symbolic features in uyghur culture, values and aesthetics.
