Definition
诗朗诵 is a compound noun meaning 'poetry recitation' — a performance where someone reads a poem aloud with expression. It's a common cultural activity in Chinese schools, competitions, and literary events. The word combines 诗 (poem) and 朗诵 (recite aloud), so it refers to the event or act itself, not the poem being read.
n.
