Which minority folk song is the girl in Alishan?

The girl in Alishan is not a folk song of any nationality. Girl in Alishan is a song written in the form of Gaoshan folk songs.

The Girl in Alishan, also known as Gao Shanqing, was written by Deng Yuping (a Sichuanese who once lived in Taiwan Province Province), composed by Zhang Che (a famous director from Hangzhou, who went from Shanghai to Taiwan Province Province and then lived in Hong Kong), with the heroine Chien-Hsi Chang as the first singer.

The Girl in Alishan is the only work of Hong Kong director Zhang Che. Although it is not a real folk song, it is always mistaken for the traditional folk song of Gaoshan nationality in Taiwan Province Province, but it is actually a creative song created in the form of Gaoshan folk songs.

Because "The Girl in Alishan" is the only famous song that describes the customs and characters of the mountain people with Gaoshan tunes, and also uses tambourines and drums, it is unique among the popular songs in Mandarin at that time. Because the lyrics praise the Gaoshan people, they are also covered by other Gaoshan singers such as Shi Xiaorong.
