De'ang ethnic group


Inhabiting Yunnan province, the De'ang people are skilled craftsmen, Silversmiths cast bracelets, necklace, and tobacco pipes; women can also spin, dye and weaving cloth, with bright De'ang characteristics – simple but delicate.


The De'ang people's staple food is rice, supplemented with corn, wheat and legume. They like to grow tea and to drink dense tea, which won them fame as 'old tea peasants' - they take great pride in their unique tea culture. When they visit relatives, propose marriage, welcome friends, and even when they ask for forgiveness, they will offer tea to show their regard.
