Chinese never had only five initial consonants! Traditionally the 36 or so initial consonants were divided into five classes based on their place of articulation.

I think it would be useful if these five references pointed somewhere so I am going to try to add them.
Diff:
- 五音 五音 [wu3 yin1] /five notes of pentatonic scale, roughly do, re, mi, sol, la/five initial consonants of Chinese phonetics, namely: 喉音, 牙音, 舌音, 齒音|齿音, 唇音/
# + 五音 五音 [wu3 yin1] /five notes of pentatonic scale, roughly do, re, mi, sol, la/five classes of initial consonants of traditional Chinese phonetics, namely: 喉音, 牙音, 舌音, 齒音|齿音, 唇音/
+ 五音 五音 [wu3 yin1] /five notes of pentatonic scale, roughly do, re, mi, sol, la/five classes of initial consonants of Chinese phonetics, namely: 喉音[hou2 yin1], 牙音[ya2 yin1], 舌音[she2 yin1], 齒音|齿音[chi3 yin1], 唇音[chun2 yin1]/
