Chinese Pinyin can be divided into three parts: initials, finals and tones. The initials of a word are called vowels, other sounds are called vowels, and the rise and fall of a word is called tones.

The initials of most words are consonants, and only a few words start with vowels (that is, they start with vowels directly). Their initials are called "zero initials", such as "Ai" and "Goose".

Vowel is a phonological term in China, which is the component after the initial consonant in Chinese syllables. A vowel must have at least one vowel, or several vowels, or a vowel followed by a consonant.

A vowel composed of several phonemes can be subdivided into a vowel (main vowel), a rhyme head (also called a middle tone) and a rhyme ending. For example, in the syllable [〔guan〕], [g] is the initial and [uan] is the final. In vowel [[〔uan〕], [a] is the belly, [u] is the beginning and [n] is the end.
