Reading is an important means of learning knowledge and culture, increasing wisdom, and cultivating morality. It is an important way of cultural inheritance and dissemination, and an important help for us to achieve new development in the new era. There are many famous sayings about reading in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad: "Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will be apparent to you", "Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles", "Read thousands of books and write like a god". "Reading is enough for pleasure, enough for erudition, and enough for growth." "Reading a good book is like talking to many noble people." "Books are the ladder of human progress, a lifelong companion, and the most sincere friend." These famous quotes illustrate the same truth from different angles: reading has great power and is of greater personal significance. Reading is an unforgettable experience and process in life. Reading brings people into a colorful world. Reading makes people's spiritual home rich and noble. In the current society where the pace of life is getting faster and faster, reading carriers and reading methods have also changed, which has also led to the arrival of the era of national reading.

In the new era of reading, the reading carrier is portable. With the development of electronic technology and the Internet, the carrier of reading has expanded from paper to electronic products and the Internet, and e-books and online reading have been developed. Although traditional paper newspapers, periodicals and books still occupy an important position, new electronic reading and online reading have gradually occupied a dominant position. Historically, the invention and application of paper replaced gold, stone, bamboo and silk, greatly promoted the spread of knowledge and culture, and indirectly played an important role in historical development. The same is true for electronic and online reading. The dissemination of all kinds of knowledge and information is easier than ever, has a wider impact, and plays a greater role in promoting development.

In the new era of reading, the way of reading becomes more flexible. Traditional reading often requires a whole block of time, and reading pays more attention to integrity and coherence. Corresponding to the booming development of e-reading and online reading is the fragmentation and fragmentation of reading in a fast-paced life. In modern society, it is a luxury for people to spend a large amount of time reading. E-reading allows people to read at every opportunity while waiting for a bus, shopping, or taking a break, making full use of fragmented time to acquire knowledge. If you stick to it in the long run, you will definitely get a lot of results. Moreover, while reading, you can also search the Internet for information at any time if you have questions, broadening the depth and breadth of learning.

In the new era of reading, comprehensive reading is popularized. With the development and popularization of education and the reduction of illiteracy rate, reading and writing are no longer exclusive to a few people, but have gradually become a necessary skill for everyone. Data from the seventh national census show that the number of illiterate people aged 15 and above in my country is 37.75 million, and the illiteracy rate is 2.67. my country has basically achieved universal literacy. This also means that more and more people can read, and the time has come to promote reading for all, which will definitely help the future development of the nation and country.

In the new era of reading, what remains unchanged is the essence of reading, which is a complex process of obtaining information, processing information and creating information through text media. It is the interaction between the reading subject and the text. From this perspective, whether it is traditional reading, electronic reading, or online reading, the effect of reading depends on the degree of interaction between the two, and whether the interaction can inspire the reader's thinking, emotions, and sentiments. For the subject of reading, reading requires independent thinking at any time, rather than being captured by the reading text and "following what others say", which in turn loses the meaning of reading. In the new era of reading, we must read and be able to read, promote the formation of a "bookish society", and enhance the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation.
