Abstract
This article is based on the Chinese mainland in the 345 kinds of languages and dialects (including the minority national language, Chinese and their dialects). The author collates and conducts research typology. Based on the principle of Greenberg, but propose to use chi-square test method to study implicational universals between some representatives tone type, at last, the article draws some conclusions.
