First of all, the first reading of poetry will set the tone.
Tone is a term in music works, but in poetry recitation, it refers to the sound expression of pitch, sound length, sound intensity and timbre, emphasizing the change of timbre, such as flexibility, cadence and vivid presentation. Grasping the right tone, reciting will have the basic direction and will not deviate from the basic direction. To set a good tone, we must first understand the work, the creation age and writing background of the work, as well as the author's life and other related works. Take Mr. Xu Zhimo's Farewell to Cambridge as an example. In the author's mind, Cambridge is a spiritual pure land, and the author's feelings for Cambridge are deep and warm. It can be said that only with Xu Zhimo can Cambridge have spirituality, and Xu Zhimo and Cambridge have found spiritual conversion. With the above background information as the basis, the tone of the first reading of Farewell to Cambridge is reluctant to leave. When I was studying, my feelings grew stronger every day. Because of the reality and pain of parting, you can't sing or be silent. In the end, your reading voice will drop by eight degrees.
Second, read the poem again and ask questions.
When I recited this poem, I thought carefully. There are some questions in the poem that I don't understand. Some students put forward the following questions about Farewell to Cambridge: Why is the golden willow by the river the bride in the sunset? Why is A Pool under the Elm Shade not a clear spring, but a rainbow? Why do you sing in the starlight, but the next verse of the poem says "but I can't sing"? ..... By rereading this poem, the students read many questions. After reading the questions, you need to continue reciting them to solve the problems.
Third, reading poetry and excavating connotation
Tasting the artistic conception in poetry is the key to effective recitation. Because artistic conception is the realm and emotional appeal of poetry and other literary works through image description. No matter whether it is a metrical poem or a free verse, it is hard to say that it is a good poem without artistic conception, and it is not a recitation if it cannot express artistic conception when reading. Recitation without artistic conception, superficial feelings and changeable voice forms can't make up for this fundamental lack. Only by feeling the artistic conception, thinking, imagining, recalling, looking forward to, and grasping specific and subtle ideas and changes can we arouse strong feelings and solve difficult problems. Students continue to read Farewell to Cambridge: by understanding the background of the author's writing, the question of why to bid farewell to Cambridge is solved. By reading the footnotes in the article, we can know where Cambridge is. Close your eyes when reading a book, and you can imagine such a picture: in late autumn, the golden willow on the shore is shining in the setting sun, and the rainbow in the sky is reflected in the water, which has the feeling of "half river rustling and half river red". In this way, heaven and earth echo each other from afar, and the combination of motion and static is wonderful. Reading "Liu", in the images of China's classical poems, "Liu" and "Liu" are homophonic, conveying the author's lingering feelings. Reading "Gold", the sun sets, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines obliquely on the treetops of the trunk. At the same time, gold is more noble, brilliant and eye-catching than yellow, which shows the richness and charm of willow. So the author thought of the bride from such a beautiful artistic conception, that is, using the golden willow to describe the bride, and imagining a beautiful young woman with smooth skin and graceful posture, like branches and wickers swaying in the wind, extremely beautiful and excellent in posture. Who can abandon his beautiful new wife? Who can bear to leave their favorite landscapes and flowers? However, after all, parting is still in sight, so stop and have a look and let her beauty stay in my heart forever. I can't get tired of reading such beautiful poems. How can I read to understand my feelings?
Fourth, read poetry and feel deep affection.
Cadence is the most basic way to read poetry. Including the level of pronunciation, intonation, breath and rhythm, of which two are the most important, one is the level of pronunciation and the other is the speed of speech. Mastering these, cadence will naturally occur, and the artistic effect of poetry recitation will naturally occur. In fact, there is no need to pursue it deliberately. As long as you read according to the natural phonetic state of the poem and the natural rhythm of the poem, why worry about no cadence? For example, Farewell to Cambridge: Read the last section lightly and read slowly. The second section "Golden Willow" and "Bride" are slightly heavy and shy to read. "Ripple" should be read like this, so that the audience can close their eyes and imagine that the water waves are slowly rippling away, the scope is getting bigger and bigger, and the sound is prolonged. Reading poetry is also like telling stories. The first section of this poem is the introduction, the second section is the beginning, the third and fourth sections are the plot development, and the fifth section is the climax of the plot development. "I'm loaded with a boat full of splendor, singing gloriously in splendor." I couldn't help raising my hands and singing with my head held high. And this short memory is only this moment, and I will leave soon. In the sixth paragraph "But/I can't play the song", I pretend to be lost, frivolous, heartbroken and breathless. "Quietly/parting/Xiao Sheng; Summer worm/also for me/silence; Silence/tonight/Cambridge! " Cadence naturally blooms in beautiful reading, artistic conception, connotation and affection. Poetry can only stand out if it is recited effectively. The natural ending of the seventh paragraph is semantically different from the first paragraph, but the rhythm of recitation is exactly the same, the content echoes from afar, and the forms are symmetrical, forming a harmonious and beautiful cycle.
