What is the difference between reading aloud and recitation?

The difference between "reading aloud" and "recitation"\r\n \r\n1. Different meanings\r\n"Reading aloud" is to read the article clearly and loudly. It is essentially a kind of The main purpose of "reading" is to convert written text into corresponding audio language clearly and accurately and deliver it to the audience. It does not pursue the artistic expression of moving people with emotion, but focuses on using meaning to metaphor people, that is, it pursues the audience's comprehensive and comprehensive understanding of the read text. Accurate understanding and rational thinking. "Recitation" is a higher level of reading. It is an artistic form of language expression that requires artistic processing of the article. The reciter uses expression skills such as speed, emphasis, pauses, etc. to convert the recitation material into a Artistic performance, therefore, has a performative component. What it appeals to is the emotional resonance of the audience, and what it pursues is the artistic appeal that makes the audience listen to their ears, their hearts, and their emotions. \r\n \r\n2. Different scope of use\r\nThe scope of use of reading aloud is wider, and all text reading materials can be read aloud. Whether it is poetry, lyrics, music, fu, or prose, novels, dramas, cross talk; whether it is narratives, argumentative essays, expository essays, editorials, news, limericks, tongue twisters, letters from home, job advertisements, missing person notices, mathematical physics exercises Etc., all of them are unreadable; while the scope of use of recitation is relatively narrow, generally poetry and prose are the main ones, and a small number of fairy tales, novels and dramas can also be recited. Isn’t it called “poetry recitation” and “prose recitation”? It has relatively strict requirements on the artistic characteristics of manuscripts. For example, missing persons notices and mathematical physics exercises can be read aloud, but if they are used for recitation, it will be difficult for the listener to accept them, and it will make people laugh or cry. \r\n \r\n3. Different positions and identities\r\nThe position of the reader is intrinsic, while the position of the reciter is artistic. When reading aloud, the nature of the reader's location does not change. The classroom remains a classroom, and the farmland remains a farmland. But in these same places, the space where the reciter is located has actually changed, forming a "performance area" tangibly and intangibly. The nature of this "performance area" has changed "across thousands of miles and thousands of years" depending on the content of the recitation. Moreover, the audience often avoids entering the "performance area" consciously or unconsciously, so as not to interfere with the reciter's performance. Therefore, recitations are usually performed on the stage in public. The identity of the reader should be the reader himself. The reader is neither completely the representative or incarnation of the author of the article, nor plays a role, nor can he be a substitute, nor is he an actor. As recitation is a performing art, the identity of the reader is "Actor" means pretending to be another "I" to express one's emotions lyrically. \r\n \r\n4. Different sound requirements\r\nThe requirements for sound reproduction in reading aloud are close to naturalization, authenticity, and life-oriented, but it is not the same as the daily spoken language in daily life. It is more accurate, more vivid, more typical and more beautiful than natural spoken language. It requires "no fire, no fire, just the right amount". If it is too exaggerated, it will easily give people the impression of pretentiousness and pretentiousness; if it is too plain, it will look like "traditional" and boring. Just as Qi Yue said, "When reading aloud, use a language that is close to natural conversation in life, and do not require an unnatural voice to be read aloud that is different from conversation, that is, do not use a different tone." Xu Shirong said, "There is a certain limit to the expression of expressions. The intonations such as severity, speed, cadence, pauses, etc. can be read naturally and appropriately without excessive artistic exaggeration. It is a simple and honest reading with every word implemented. "It is not a performance with high spirits and ups and downs of voice and emotion"; and the requirement for recitation of sound reproduction should be stylized, personalized, and even dramatic. It requires the reciter to condense his or her own experience of the work into a unique form through changes in volume, pitch, rhythm, etc., as Ye Shengtao said, "Return excitement where there is excitement, and return euphemism where there is euphemism." The artistic appeal penetrates deeply and shakes the hearts of the audience. \r\n \r\n5. Different degrees of standardization\r\nReading aloud requires the listener to fully and accurately understand the content of the expression. Therefore, the pronunciation requirements for the reader are not so strict. Under normal circumstances, readers should choose to speak in Mandarin, but under certain circumstances, under certain conditions, and on the premise that the audience can hear clearly and accurately understand, reading in dialect or interspersed with dialect reading is allowed. Recitation focuses on infecting the audience with the charm of language art, and generally requires that it must be expressed in standard Mandarin. Only in this way can the content of the work be reproduced artistically and perfectly. Reciting in dialect is, in most cases, difficult for the audience to accept. \r\n \r\n6. Different postures\r\nReading aloud is generally a "reading" type of expression, which can be done with the manuscript in hand. It has no clear influence on the reader's body, gestures, eyes, expressions, etc. It requires that in terms of posture, you can read standing, walking, or sitting. The task of reading aloud is to convey rather than perform; and recitation is an artistic performance, which requires that during the recitation process, the body, gestures, expressions, The eyes should be harmonious and coordinated to enhance the artistic appeal of the artistic language. Therefore, recitation must be expressed while standing without the script, because holding the manuscript is not conducive to the coordination of form, posture and recitation content, and reading too many manuscripts will also limit The communication between the reader's expression and eyes and the audience.

\r\n \r\n7. Different educational qualities\r\nThe educational nature of reading aloud is mainly reflected in the function of reading aloud and the effect of use. As a form of education, the main function of reading aloud is to convey the main content of the work to the audience, and to directly educate the audience through the ideological and intellectual knowledge contained in the work. Recitation is an art of "conquering". It relies on the reciter's unique voice quality, clear and smooth flow rhythm, and rich and proficient language skills to give those literary works soaring wings and make them fly to the world. In the hearts of the audience, it shakes the depths of people's souls and produces a soul-stirring power. This powerful conquering power is the highest state of recitation and a full reflection of the value of the art of recitation.
