Xinmin Evening News (reporter Zhao Yue) Jin Caifeng, a famous Yue opera performance artist and founder of the Yue opera Jinpai, passed away at 10:45 this morning at the central hospital of Xuhui District in Shanghai at the age of 92.
Jinpai is a genre of Yue opera Danjiao founded by Jin Caifeng. Jin Caifeng, formerly known as Jin Cuifeng, was born in Shanghai in November 1930 in Yin County, Zhejiang Province, and was admitted to the training class of the Xuesheng Theater Troupe in 1946. Later, Jin Caifeng transferred to dongshan yue art society to play Danjiao, together with Lu Ruiying and Ding Saijun, known as the "Dongshan" sanding armor. In the summer of 1951, he entered the Yue Opera Troupe of the East China Opera Research Institute, and in 1955, he joined the newly built Shanghai Yue Opera House. Jin Caifeng works as a boudoir and is also good at flower dan.

Jin Caifeng's singing voice inherits the Yuan (Xuefen) school, and absorbs the vocal cavity components of Shi Yinhua and Fu Quanxiang, and also absorbs the mellowness of Fan Ruijuan's singing cavity, which is integrated and self-contained, and is recognized as the "Golden School". She is good at playing everyone's boudoir show, singing tactfully reverberating, euphemistic and smooth, rigid and soft, and full of charm. She is also good at Qingyi, performing delicate and timeless, good at portraying the inner feelings of the characters, and has created many artistic models of ancient women with different personalities and charms on the stage, and has also played the image of modern women in different periods. She has sung Yuan Pai's famous dramas "Xi Xiang Ji" and "Xiang Lin Sister-in-law", and when singing, she not only maintained the euphemistic and smooth characteristics of Yuan Pai, but also played her own singing method with a brighter voice and stronger strength, giving the singing voice another artistic feature, which was called "Yuan Cavity Golden Singing" by musicians, which can also see the trajectory of genre inheritance and derivation.
On the basis of inheriting the tradition, jin Caifeng constantly explores and creates new singing voices according to his own experience and understanding of the role, especially for the traditional four-work cavity, and enriches and develops them in terms of tone plate type and cavity treatment, so that it shines with new brilliance. Her singing cavity structure is rigorous, good at using different plate styles and rhythms, tones to lubricate the cavity, meticulously revealing the deep ripples of the characters' feelings, and the performance action and singing cavity music are closely interlocked, which can be seen in "Jasper Hairpin".
