大阪城的姑娘

[TCcookie]

Hi, quick question. I hope this doesn't sound really ignorant .

Does the song 大阪城的姑娘 refer to Osaka? If so, could someone explain?

Thanks.

大阪城 is a city name in 新疆 / Xin Jiang province, not Osaka, and 大阪城的姑娘 is a 新疆 folk song.

Please really excuse me, but it should be 达板城 in 新疆 not 大板 Osaka in Japan.

Thanks!

A search in Baidu showed that 达板城的姑娘 and 大阪城的姑娘 are the same song, so I supposed that both 达板城 and 大阪城 refer to the same place in China.

(Of course, in another context, 大阪城 is the Osaka Castle in Japan)

大阪城的姑娘 is a wrong name. Should be 达板城的姑娘. It's a folk song in 新疆 with a strong 新疆 style. Completely nothing to do with Japan or Japanese!

There's also a Daban 大板 in Nei Meng, near Balin You Qi 巴林右旗, a few hours' north of Chifeng.
