On important days, the De'ang people use tea to worship their ancestors and gods and pray for peace and good luck. Not only that, but they also hold a grand tea song party, where people sit around the fire, drink tea and sing, and share happy times.

The costumes are also often decorated with auspicious patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, birds, and snakes, implying auspiciousness and beauty.
