    From: 2012 April 12, 研究发现上海奉贤方言是世界上元音最多语言
    Lǐ Huī jiàoshòu biǎoshì, tāmen de lùnwén fābiǎo-hòu, yǐnqǐ-le zhōngyī zhuānjiā de xìngqù. Zhè shì yīnwèi, yuányīn bèi rènwèi yǔ zhōngyī jīngluò lǐlùn yǒuguān, dàojiā yǎngshēng “Liùzìjué” biǎomíng, yuányīn fāyīn néng shǐ jīngluò chàngtōng, ér Fèngxiánhuà de 20 ge yuányīn qiàhǎo duìyìng-zhe réntǐ de 20 tiáo jīngluò. [Pinyin]
    Professor Li Hui expresses that after their paper was published, it attracted the attention of traditional medicine experts. This was because vowels are thought to be related to the meridian theory of traditional medicine; the "Six-character Formula" of Taoist health maintenance states that vowel pronunciation can help clear the meridian, and the 20 vowels of Fengxianese just so happen to correspond to the 20 meridians of the human body.
