In modern Chinese phonetics, tone refers to the inherent sound in Chinese syllables, which can distinguish the rise and fall of meaning. The scale in music is also determined by the pitch, which can be simulated by the scale, and learning the tone can also depend on your own musical sense.
But note that the pitch is relative, not absolute; The pitch rises and falls smoothly, unlike jumping from one scale to another. Tones are usually marked by five degrees: set a vertical scale, which is divided into five degrees, with the lowest being 1 and the highest being 5. Mandarin has four tones: flat tone, rising tone, rising tone and falling tone.
All the phonetics of Putonghua belong to four basic tone values:
1. Flat tone (the first sound), such as "high, flying, sky and air";
2. Yangping (second sound) is like "coming, coming back, being busy";
3. On voice (the third voice), such as "courage, courage, friendship and kindness";
4. De-voiced (Fourth Tone) For example, the tone types of the four basic tones of "Jian, She, Shi and Jie" in Putonghua can be simply summarized as Grade One, Grade Two, Trilogy and Grade Four.
Flat tone and rising tone are flat tone, rising tone and falling tone are boring tone.
