茶葉的后裔
中國的少數民族中有很多都種茶、嗜茶，甚至以茶為生。德昂族不僅嗜好飲茶，善于種茶制茶，更把茶看做自己的祖先。
In China, many minorities plant tea and love tea, and they even live on tea. De’ang nationality is not fond of drinking tea, but good at planting and making tea, who considers tea as own ancestor.
傳說德昂族的始祖母是茶葉仙子。在很久以前，天界有一株茶樹，想到人間生長，達然(智慧的神)考驗它，讓狂風吹落它百零二片葉子，單數變成五十一個精明能干的小伙子，雙數變成五十一一個美麗動人的姑娘。當他們欲邁向塵世時，都遭受惡魔無數次刁難阻撓，經過艱苦斗爭，他們終于取得了勝利?？墒?，當他們陶醉于勝利的喜悅之時，一陣陣狂風，把五十個姑娘和五十個小伙子吹回了天界，只留下最聰明的小弟弟和最美麗的小妹妹在人間結為夫妻，他們就是茶葉仙人所化的德昂人的始祖達楞和亞楞。
According to the legend, the earliest grandmother of De’ang nationality was tea fairy. Long time ago, there was a tea tree in the heaven wanting to grow up on earth. Da’ran (the god of wisdom) tested the tree and made fierce wind blow off one hundred and two leaves. The singular number becomes 51 sagacious and competent boys, while the even number becomes 51 beautiful and charming girls. When they desired to march toward on earth, they were obstructed and thwarted by devils for heaps of times. Through arduous struggle, they finally won victory. Nevertheless, when they lost themselves in the joy of victory, a gust of fierce wind blew 50 boys and 50 girls back to the heaven. Only the most clever little brother and the most beautiful little sister got married on earth, who were namely the ancestors of De’ang nationality: Da’leng and Ya’leng.
可見，茶這種植物有其神性，茶葉曾是德昂人的圖騰，是人類植物崇拜的對象。
It can be seen that tea has divinity, which was once totem of De’ang nationality, and the object being worshiped by human beings.
