Where did ancient ivory come from? Are there elephants in China, Guangdong and Guangxi? Does the image of chess refer to elephants?

Elephants existed in China in ancient times and were later introduced from India. You know, in ancient times, China was the suzerain of many countries, and other vassal states had to pay tribute.

There are no wild elephants in modern China.

The original image of chess is an elephant.

Chess was invented by China!

I have a pair of ivory chess. But it's not an elephant in China, it's an elephant in Africa.
