   • 李輝教授表示，他們的論文發表後，引起了中醫專家的興趣。這是因為，元音被認為與中醫經絡理論有關，道家養生「六字訣」表明，元音發音能使經絡暢通，而奉賢話的20個元音恰好對應著人體的20條經絡。 [MSC, trad.]

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.
