Is Taicang dialect the soft dialect of Wu Nong?

Suzhou dialect has always been called "Wunong's soft language". Its biggest feature is its "softness", which is more pleasant when spoken by girls. Among the other dialects that also belong to the Wu dialect family, such as Wuxi dialect, Jiaxing dialect, Shaoxing dialect, Ningbo dialect, etc., they are not as soft as Suzhou dialect. Whether a dialect sounds good or not is a bit like when we listen to foreign songs. In fact, it does not depend on whether it is easy to understand, but mainly depends on the intonation, speaking speed, rhythm, pronunciation and vocabulary. Wu dialect and Xiang dialect (referring to Old Xiang dialect) are the earliest dialects among the seven dialect families of Chinese. Therefore, Wu dialect has retained quite a lot of ancient sounds. A major feature of Wu dialect is that it retains all voiced initial consonants, with seven to eight tones (the least in Shanghai, which is combined into 5, and the most in Wujiang, with 11 in Beijing), and it also retains the entry tone. In terms of hearing, if a dialect is spoken too fast and the cadence is too strong, we often call the speech "too hard", such as Ningbo dialect; but if the speech speed is too slow and lacks obvious cadence, we often call it "too hard". "Too bad". Suzhou's speech is gentle without losing cadence, and the speaking speed is moderate without losing beats. In terms of pronunciation, I feel that it is more forward and upward. This way of pronunciation has the feeling of singing in a low voice.
