Is it better for an elephant stool to have its nose down or up?

An elephant stool is better if its trunk is downward. In traditional culture, the trunk of an elephant stool is usually pointed downward. This is because in traditional Chinese culture, the elephant is regarded as an auspicious animal, representing stability and longevity. Therefore, the design of elephant stools usually takes into account the image characteristics of the elephant, including the orientation of the trunk. In Feng Shui, an elephant stool with its trunk pointing downward is considered a good design as this design promotes the flow of wealth and good luck. The elephant stool with its trunk downward can absorb wealth and good luck and bring them to people's homes, bringing good luck and prosperity to the family. However, the aesthetic trends of modern designers and consumers have changed, and they pay more attention to personalization and fashion. Therefore, the design of elephant stools is becoming more and more diverse, and the orientation of the trunk is no longer the only consideration. Some elephant stools have their trunks facing upwards and others downwards, depending on the designer's personal preference and consumer demand.
