What does elephant mean in geomantic omen?

Any geomantic beast should hang his head and stare, not stand upright. Elephants have the function of suppressing evil spirits and gathering wealth in geomantic omen. If their noses are up, they will not gather wealth, but scatter wealth. The effect of suppressing evil spirits is gone, but they will be discouraged and scattered wealth.

Elephant, the largest mammal on land in the world at present, belongs to proboscis, with only one family, two genera and three species, namely Elephantidae, African elephant genus and elephant genus. There are two kinds of African elephants: common African elephant (also called savanna elephant or shrub elephant) and African forest elephant. There is only one kind of Asian elephant (also called Indian elephant) in elephant genus.

It is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia and even the tropical and subtropical areas along the southern border of China. Elephants are gregarious animals, with the family as the unit and the female elephant as the leader. The daily activity time, action route, foraging place and habitat are all under the command of the female elephant. Among mammals, the longest-lived animal is the elephant. It is said that it can live 6 to 7 years old.
