  We derive the chiral effective Lagrangian for excited heavy-light mesons from
QCD under proper approximations. We focus on the chiral partners with
$j_l^P=\frac{3}{2}^+$ and $j_l^P=\frac{3}{2}^-$ which amounts to ($1^+,2^+$)
and ($1^-,2^-$) states respectively. The low energy constants including the
masses of the chiral partners are calculated. The calculated spectrum for the
excited mesons are found roughly consistent with experimental data. In
addition, our results indicate that quantum numbers of $B_J(5970)$ can be
identified with $1^-$ or $2^-$.
