Upper voice: When pronouncing, the voice should fall first and then rise, and the turning point is obvious. In pinyin, the rising tone is usually represented by "ˇ", such as "m m" (horse).

2, to sound: when pronouncing, the sound should rise first and then fall, which is also an obvious turning point. In Pinyin, disyllabic tones are usually represented by "ˋ", such as "mà" (swearing). Entering tone: when pronouncing, the voice should be short and powerful, with obvious pause. In pinyin, the entering tone is usually represented by "bo", such as "m?" (out)
