The Tale of the Tea Boy Reincarnated is the fourth story of Nguyễn Dữ's Truyền kỳ mạn lục collection,[1] published in the first volume.

[2] Dương Đức Công from Thường Tín, Sơn Nam is a magistrate under Lý Huệ Tông's rule.

Because he is a honest mandarin, when he dies at 50, the Supreme Deity grants him 24 more years of life and a child, who he names Thiên Tích.

One day, a priest named Quân Phong shows up and informs Thiên Tích that he is the reincarnation of a tea boy in heaven serving the Supreme Deity.

Some people see him in Đông Thành Mountain and think he has attained godhood.Like many other stories in Truyền kỳ mạn lục, The Tale of the Tea Boy Reincarnated is loosely inspired by Jiandeng Xinhua of Qu You,[3] but with strong and distinctive Vietnamese settings.
