There is a close intertextual and symbiotic relationship between music and history in cultural inheritance. Aiming at the deficiencies of existing research in the combination of theory and practice and from a cultural perspective, this paper deeply analyzes the relationship between the two from a multidisciplinary perspective. The historical context influences musical expression at the material, institutional, and spiritual levels. Musical expression reflects the historical context through the encoding of formal structures and symbolic meanings. Cultural significance is generated in the educational field through historical decoding, contemporary interpretation, and meaning reconstruction. These three elements form a dynamic mutual construction and an educational and cultural cycle, providing a theoretical basis for the cultivation of cultural understanding ability in interdisciplinary teaching. In the future, it can be expanded in the directions such as neuro-experiments, the application of digital humanities technologies, and the comparison of different cultural contexts, so as to promote the development of humanistic education.
