What does the elephant symbolize?

Elephants are considerate, hard-working, capable, intelligent and spiritual. In traditional Chinese culture, elephants are homophonic with the word "xiang", so they are endowed with auspicious meanings. For example, an elephant carrying a treasure vase means "peace has an elephant"; an elephant carrying a treasure vase with a halberd in it means "peace and good luck"; a child riding an elephant means "auspiciousness"; using an elephant to carry Ruyi, or the elephant's trunk rolled up to Ruyi means "good luck and good luck" .

The Dai people have always regarded elephants as a symbol of good luck and strength. The Xishuangbanna area in Yunnan is a paradise for elephants. Local people love elephants very much. They use elephants as mascots in their homes to symbolize peace, auspiciousness, and wealth.
