What's so particular about elephant ornaments?
Since ancient times, China has had the custom of placing and carving various auspicious animals in front of buildings, so as to turn evil spirits into evil spirits and avoid evil. These common animals are unicorns, lions, dragons, elephants and so on.
Among them, elephants are particularly popular.
Elephants are strong, but gentle; Naive, honest, honest; And being able to travel long distances with heavy loads is regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness and strength, and also known as the virtue of animals. In myths and legends, elephants are born as shining stars, which can predict the gods. The ancient Buddha descended from the sky by elephants. It is also said that the elephant is the mount of Samantabhadra, and that it can predict the gods.
Master Qian Qiu said that in the traditional culture of China, because the words "elephant" and "auspicious" are homophonic, elephants have been endowed with more auspicious meanings, and many mascots have been designed accordingly, such as peaceful elephants, auspicious elephants and Vientiane renewal.
Therefore, some people put elephant ornaments at home to take the shape of an elephant as a mountain and have the meaning of a mountain, so as to increase the backing and increase the fortune of the nobles, which is helpful to the cause.
Now, in front of some buildings, hotels and other buildings, you can often see the stone carvings of two elephants. Master Qian pointed out that elephant feng shui has two meanings: first, elephants can be lucky and safe; Second, because elephants are good at absorbing water with their noses, there is a saying in Feng Shui that water is the main source of wealth, so elephants are given the meaning of absorbing gold to make money. Moreover, compared with other auspicious animals, the elephant's own role in ward off evil spirits is relatively weak, and more importantly, its auspicious meaning is more prominent. Therefore, placing elephants in front of these buildings will bring them good luck and wealth.
Elephant has become a favorite mascot of people all over the world for its naive, honest and honest image. In our traditional culture in China, the word "elephant" is homophonic with the word "auspicious", so the elephant is endowed with more auspicious meanings, such as taking the elephant as a treasure bottle (flat) as "peace and elephant"; 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".
Dai people have always regarded elephants as a symbol of good luck and strength. For thousands of years, people have formed an indissoluble bond with elephants. People like elephants and worship them. Master Qian said that because Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province is a paradise for elephants, the local people love elephants very much and put them at home as mascots, which means peace, auspiciousness and wealth.
The ancients said: "Peace is like an elephant", which means "good luck" and "going out into the phase". Putting this mascot at home can make the family full of peace. The corporate office is dedicated to this person and wealth. Worship of government civil servants can reduce pressure, increase performance, be conducive to promotion and "make a difference". Because the five elements belong to gold, elephants have been sacred animals since ancient times and are famous for their good water absorption. Water is wealth. Anyone who sees the sea, pools, rivers and other water at home is called "Tang Ming Gathering Water". If you put elephants at home, they will become rich and small. Elephants are docile by nature and lucky in their houses. If you put it in the most prosperous place indoors, the whole family will benefit. In addition, placing elephant ornaments at home can absorb the vitality of the seat and strengthen the strength of the seat. Generally, building feng shui likes to have a backer, as the saying goes, "there is light before, and there is support after"; Elephants are as thick as a mountain, and elephant ornaments are placed on the side, which is convenient to enhance the strength of the mountain, increase the luck of the nobles and contribute to the prosperity of the cause. When there are no mountains or things to rely on behind the house, please stay outside the bend or near the overpass in the bend. The tail gas or dust emitted by passing vehicles on the road surface will be thrown out of the bend, which will adversely affect the houses outside the bend. It is easy to make residents fidgety, easily injured or right and wrong.
The solution taught by the former master is to put a lighted elephant in the window or door of the anti-bow position to solve it. Elephants are gentle and kind-hearted and belong to Swiss mammals. They are as big as mountains. General buildings are backed by geomantic omen. Elephants have the symbol of mountains, which can act as screens or supports like walls. At the same time, elephants also have the function of making money. Putting elephant ornaments on the sitting side can strengthen the sitting side.
Hope to adopt it in time!
