For the nine tones in Cantonese dialect, the four tones in Cantonese dialect are divided into yin and yang, and the incoming tone has another middle incoming tone. There is a saying that the nine tones of Cantonese can be represented by the following pronunciations: "Beef Brisket Noodles with Tomato Sauce", "Hong Kong Small City Law Enforcement Bureau", and "394052786";

From now on, you only need to look at its phonetic notation. The number, usually in the upper right corner, will tell you which tone to pronounce, and it will be easier to master the correct pronunciation.
