It is good to place stone elephants in front of private residences. The elephants are large and give people a "backing" feeling; the elephants are gentle and not violent. Moreover, the elephant is homophonic with "xiang", which is one of the auspicious beasts that Buddhists like very much, and is suitable for most people. Placing a stone elephant at the entrance of a private house can not only be beautiful and elegant, making the living environment even better; it also has more beautiful meanings. Because elephants have been feng shui auspicious beasts since ancient times, placing a pair of stone elephants at home is equivalent to bringing the auspiciousness and tranquility people pursue into their homes. Invisible and intangible things are displayed by these visual symbols.
