How to recite ancient poems well

Poetry and prose are two common literary genres in recitation. Poetry is a highly concentrated reflection of life, full of the author's rich imagination, emotion and thinking and understanding of life. The language is refined and pays attention to rhythm and rhythm. Prose expresses the author's thoughts and feelings through the description of some life events, which is generally short in length and free in form, and does not necessarily have a complete story; Language is not bound by rhythm, and can be lyrical, narrative, critical or even both. And then what? 1. Select the material to read aloud. As the saying goes, "A clever woman can't cook without rice", so it is very important to choose the poems or essays you want to read aloud. Some poems have delicate language, rich feelings and strong sense of rhythm, which are suitable for reading aloud, such as Nostalgia, To the Oak Tree by Shu Ting and You are April Day on Earth by Lin. But some poems are only suitable for silent reading, not for reading aloud, because the language is plain, the feelings are restrained and the sense of rhythm is poor. Some essays are expressive, lyrical or have wonderful stories and vivid dialogues between characters, which are suitable for reciting. Such as Zhu Ziqing's Moonlight on the Lotus Pond and Hurry, and Bing Xin's Little Orange Lantern. 2. Read the correct pronunciation. Accurate pronunciation and clear pronunciation; Do not lose words, do not add words; It is the basic requirement for the reciter to correctly read the stressed words and rationally use the "sound change" (including the changes of the words "light tone", "er" and "ah"). 3. Read the rhythm correctly. Zhu Guangqian said: "Rhythm is the most direct and powerful medium to convey emotions." When reciting poetry, we must use proper rhythm to achieve a high degree of unity of speech content and form, give full play to the best effect of language and express the poet's thoughts and feelings. What is rhythm? Rhythm is a phenomenon that language appears regularly over a period of time, such as speed, height, length, weight and so on. The premise of grasping the rhythm is that the reciter does not read broken sentences or repeat complex sentences, and the relationship between words, sentences and paragraphs is reasonable. According to the material, the reading speed should not be too fast or too slow; Moderate tone, but high and low; Sentence breaks are natural and reasonable, but they are too long and too short; The tone is in line with the situation or character identity, but it is light and heavy. Nowadays, there are many new poems, the forms are relatively free, the sentences are uneven in length and do not rhyme, but when reciting, we must keep the charm and musical beauty of the poems. To maintain the charm and musical beauty of poetry, we must pay attention to the sentence structure and divide the sound groups and beats appropriately according to the needs of emotional expression. Of course, the sound group and beat of each poem can't be the same. Even the same poem may be treated differently by different reciters. However, we must find the most suitable sound group and beat according to the expression of content and emotional needs, and then present the style of the work with emotion. Prose is flexible and informal in structure, unlike novels and plays, which are full of twists and turns, strong conflicts, prominent characters, and not as rhythmic as poetry. When reading aloud, we should use "God" to run through the whole text, grasp the theme and conception of the article, reveal the author's thoughts and feelings everywhere, and achieve "scattered but not chaotic, scattered but not scattered" and firmly grasp the listener's thoughts. 4. Brew emotions. The reciter should be full of emotion and spirit, and accurately grasp the theme of poetry and prose as well as the thoughts and feelings of the works. In addition, when reading, clothes, actions and eyes should be appropriate, and it is not necessary to tell the plot like novels and plays, so as to make the characters vivid. Don't exaggerate 5. Render the atmosphere. Choosing the right music, setting off and rendering the atmosphere with the soundtrack is beneficial for the reciter to express the emotion of the work. 6. Pay attention to the diversification of reading forms.
