Symbolism of the Elephant in Chinese Culture & Feng Shui
In Chinese tradition, the elephant (象, Xiang) is one of the noblest symbols – representing wisdom, peace, gentle strength, and longevity. Its calm presence is believed to protect the home and attract harmony, stability, and good fortune.
In feng shui, the elephant is a guardian and bringer of peace, often placed in the home to enhance balanced and positive energy (qi).
An elephant with its trunk raised is seen as a sign of growth, success, and blessings.
As a tea pet, the elephant becomes more than decoration – a quiet guardian of your tea space, reminding us of the strength that comes from stillness and patience.
