The significance of elephant symbol

In the traditional culture of China, the word "Xiang" is homophonic with the word "Xiang", so the image is endowed with more auspicious meanings, such as treating the image as a vase (flat) as "peace and image"; Carrying an elephant and inserting a halberd (auspicious) vase is "safe and auspicious"; Take the child riding (auspicious) elephant as "auspicious"; Carrying an elephant or rolling its trunk is "good luck".

The ancients said: "Peace is like an elephant", which means "good luck" and "going out into the phase". Dai people have always regarded elephants as a symbol of good luck and strength. Because Xishuangbanna, Yunnan is a paradise for elephants, the locals love elephants very much. Putting an elephant as a mascot at home means peace, auspiciousness and wealth.
