象 (xiàng) is the Chinese word for "elephant." Elephants are large mammals known for their long trunks, large ears, and tusks. They are social animals that live in herds and are found primarily in Africa and Asia. Elephants are herbivores, feeding on grass, leaves, and fruits. In Chinese culture, the象 symbolizes wisdom, strength, and good luck. Elephants are often depicted in art and folklore, representing prosperity and protection. They play a significant role in various traditions and are sometimes associated with the Buddha, symbolizing peace and harmony.
