Jin Caifeng works as a boudoir and is also good at flower dan. Her singing voice inherits the Yuan (Xuefen) school, and absorbs the vocal components of Shi Yinhua and Fu Quanxiang, and also absorbs the mellowness of Fan Ruijuan's singing voice, which is integrated and self-contained, and is recognized as the "Golden School". She is good at playing everyone's boudoir, singing and reverberating, and her luck is euphemistic and smooth, rigid and soft. Rich in flavor. She is also good at Qingyi, delicate and timeless performances, 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.
