Huangmei Opera is one of the five traditional operas in China, which can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. It originated in Huangmei, Hubei Province and developed in Anqing, Anhui Province. Huangmei Opera, together with Beijing Opera, Yue Opera, Pingju Opera and Henan Opera, is called the five major operas in China and the main local operas in Anhui Province. Hubei, Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hongkong and Taiwan Province also have professional or amateur Huangmei Opera performance groups.

It is a drama gradually formed by folk songs, yangko, tea songs, tea-picking lanterns and Hua Gutiao, which preceded the countryside and then entered the city. The play is characterized by simple and smooth singing, lively and lyrical expression, rich expressive force and simple and meticulous performance, and is famous for its truthfulness and vividness. Representative plays include Fairy Descent, Female Ma Xu and so on. Huangmei Opera in Anqing City, Anhui Province was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage in China.

Huangmei Opera has three singing methods: main melody, coloratura and tri-melody.

Huangmei Opera's main cavity is the most dramatic and expressive cavity system in Huangmei Opera's traditional singing. It is based on the principle of plate-shaped variant or plate cavity as the music structure, which is the main feature that distinguishes it from the "flower cavity" of Qupai couplet or Qupai body and the "three cavities" with institutional characteristics.

The main melody does not mean that it is the main melody in all the plays of Huangmei Opera. In fact, coloratura plays basically don't need the main cavity, and some big plays don't need the main cavity either. This chamber system is called the main chamber because of its musical form and musical expression function.

In addition, judging from the development history of Huangmei opera music, the main cavity is later than the coloratura and the three cavities. This development process coincides with the development of the repertoire from one-man show, two mini-plays, three mini-plays to series, which can finally play the whole drama.
