Listening to books, as the name implies, is to "read" by listening, as opposed to reading with your eyes. Listening to books means listening to professional actors telling stories according to the contents of books with their ears. The way of listening to books has a long history, and the familiar storytelling, storytelling and storytelling all belong to the category of listening to books.

Reading literary works aloud, or directly interpreting literary works into radio plays in different roles, has become a new content classification of listening to books.
