At present, there are only five professionals engaged in Haicheng trumpet playing. To understand the corner drama in Haicheng, we have to start with two masters in Liyuan. They have been inheriting and developing the corner drama of Haicheng all their lives. One is Gao Dezhen, who has passed away, and the other is Chen Yongping, who is over 70 years old.

Gao Dezhen, whose stage name is "Linda Gao", is from Haicheng, Liaoning. 190 1 was born in a family of folk artists. /kloc-can sing trumpet plays at the age of 0/5, and has performed trumpet plays in Haicheng, Yingkou and Shenyang. 1953, Gao Dezhen participated in Liaoning Literature and Art Exhibition. He performed the trumpet plays "Wang Po Scold Chicken" and "Great Creation" and won the first prize. Since then, the trumpet play has gradually attracted attention in southern Liaoning. 1955, the Northeast People's Art Theatre invited Gao Dezhen and other folk artists to talk about Haicheng stilts, yangko and trumpet play, and the name of "Haicheng trumpet play" was put on the agenda for the first time. 1958, the Liaoning Provincial Department of Culture officially named Haicheng Horn Opera; 198 1 year, the entry "Haicheng Corner Opera" was included in the Dictionary of China Opera and Quyi published by Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House. In order to develop and prosper the art of trumpet playing, at the age of 80, he shaved off his beloved beard several times and performed on stage, so that the provincial and municipal literary and art departments could record and video. At the same time, there are many disciples under his door.

Chen Yongping, whose stage name is "Jinjiao", was originally from Jilin and now lives in Haicheng. Illiterate but sensitive, he studied under Chen Zifeng (stage name "Chen Sanling") at the age of 6, and can play gong, drum, suona and erhu at the same time at the age of 9. He moved to Hebei, Liaoning Province with the folk troupe and settled in Haicheng from 65438 to 0955. He has participated in many provincial-level cultural performances and local performances, and performed tens of thousands of trumpet plays, dedicated to inheriting and carrying forward Haicheng trumpet plays. Later, he felt that the horn play in Haicheng was in recession and withdrew from the art world in disappointment. During this period, he trained 12 disciples in Haicheng. At present, some of the trumpet playing cards he knows have no written records and are extremely precious.
