Donggao Study Room | Reading paper books, listening to books... In the era of screen reading, such as Gao people, has your reading style changed?

　　"The method of reading is gradual and gradual, and it is familiar and thoughtful." A set of data released by the media a few days ago shows that according to the survey and statistics of the China Press and Publication Research Institute, the total reading index of residents in Beijing in 2020 has increased significantly, reaching 83.62. Among them, the residents' "personal reading index" reached 87.98.

　　Reading a good book can open people's eyes. At present, people also have a variety of choices in the way they read: reading e-books, listening to books, reading paper books... When you want to read, which one do you prefer?

Are you one of the "low-headed people"?

　　Looking around, waiting rooms, commuting roads, "low-headed people" seem to be everywhere. Read e-books, read the news... For many, it's a way to kill fragmented time.

　　According to the survey statistics of the China Press and Publication Research Institute, the total reading index of residents in Beijing in 2020 has increased significantly, reaching 83.62. Among them, the "personal reading index" of residents reached 87.98; the per capita reading volume of books for minors reached 12.23.

　　Earlier this year, the main results of the 17th National Reading Survey were announced. The data shows that the comprehensive reading rate of Chinese adults in 2019 was 81.1%, an increase of 0.3 percentage points from 80.8% in 2018.

　　In addition, careful analysis shows that the contact rate of digital reading methods (online reading, mobile reading, e-reader reading, Pad reading, etc.) is 79.3%, an increase of 3.1 percentage points from 76.2% in 2018.

　　The development of digital reading has increased the national comprehensive reading rate and the contact rate of digital reading methods, and the overall reading population has continued to increase, but it has also brought a new trend of slowing down the growth of paper reading rate.

"I like the texture of reading paper books"

　　Compared with the people around him, the reading style of "post-90s" Tao Min is a bit "unable to keep up with the trend".

　　Tao Min found that there are many people around her who are reading e-books, and some people like to listen to books, and they do use their idle time, but she has not been accustomed to this way of reading.

　　"I like to write, see the paragraphs or content I like in the book, use circles and draw, and record my feelings on paper." She sometimes writes a post-reading or short review, which is a kind of record for her.

　　Every book in the family collection is also carefully selected by her. Worried about the loss of the book, Tao Min made a number for the books he bought, such as writing down the title, where to buy and the date of purchase. Books are occasionally damaged and carefully repaired.

　　"Someone reads a book to make a record, and I can't stand it." She still resists reading e-books, "When reading simply, I prefer the texture of paper books." ”

"I like to buy books, but I love to read e-books"

　　"In a fast-paced society, being able to read anytime, anywhere is an effective way to acquire knowledge." "Post-80s", Tu Fei summed up his reading style, "so, I am used to reading e-books." ”

　　Because I like to buy books, every time I move, the amount of books that are not light makes people a little scared, "Sometimes the collection of books is like a squirrel hoarding pine cones, hard to collect so much, but a winter to eat a very small part." 」 Tu Fei explained.

　　She downloaded reading software and various reading clients, "and other people can read books at their leisure." But too thick a paper book can't be brought; if you have an e-book, even if you only take your mobile phone out, you can happily choose from at least five or six books. ”

　　"You can also look at the mood at the time and choose an e-book to read." Foreign documents can be translated at any time on the screen. She joked, "It is said that buying books is like a mountain, reading books is like drawing silk, then reading e-books can make the drawing faster." ”

The change brought about by the "update" of the way you read

　　To summarize simply, in addition to reading paper books and e-books, some people think that listening to books is also a way to read. Tu Fei said that the elderly like to listen to books, especially when driving, which is also a pastime.

　　The main results of the 17th National Reading Survey show that in 2019, more than 30% (31.2%) of China's citizens had the habit of listening to books. Among them, the listening rate of adult citizens is 30.3%.

　　There are more ways for people to choose to read, and topics like "fragment reading" have appeared more and more in recent years. Some people lament that paper books are losing their market, and some people feel that there is no need to be overly anxious, but the way of acquiring knowledge has changed.

　　In response to "shallow reading", Xu Shengguo, director of the Institute of Publishing research of the China Press and Publication Research Institute, said that there will be "fragmented" content in digital reading methods, but there are also cases of reading books such as electronic readers, and "shallow" and "deep" reading exist at the same time.

　　In this way, what is more noteworthy is the reading itself. Tao Min feels that different reading methods are just different media, what is important is the sense of acquisition and satisfaction when reading a good book, "Ken takes more time to read books, it is worth encouraging."
