  "abstract": "Interactions of $a_2, K^*_2, f_2$ and $f_2'$ tensor-mesons with low-energy $\\pi, K, \\eta, \\eta'$ pseudo-scalar mesons are constrained by chiral symmetry. We derive a chiral Lagrangian of tensor mesons in which the tensor mesons are treated as heavy non-relativistic matter fields. Using $1/N_c$ counting, we derive relations among unknown couplings of the chiral Lagrangian. Chiral perturbation theory is applied to the tensor-meson mass matrix. At one-loop there are large corrections to the individual tensor meson masses, but the singlet-octet mixing angle remains almost unchanged. We argue that all heavy mesons of spin $\\ge 1$ share common feature of chiral dynamics.",
