4、、昌盛、吉祥的象征。早在大城王朝時期，在一次泰緬之戰(zhàn)中，數(shù)百頭大象載人上陣沖殺，頭拱腳踢，很快打敗緬軍，成為泰國歷史上輝煌的一頁。后來泰國人熱愛大象，崇敬大象，虔誠地修筑象戰(zhàn)紀念塔，舉辦別具特色的大象節(jié)，搞人與大象的仿古游行，其內(nèi)容豐富多彩，好像在弘揚和創(chuàng)造一種精神。泰國素林府、素輦府、清邁府每年都舉辦“大象節(jié)”，開幕當天的佛教儀式，喚起泰國人對大象文化的集體記憶。 聰明能干的大象不但善解人意，勤勞能干，聰明靈性，既是廉價的勞動力，在生產(chǎn)和生活中發(fā)揮作用，又是乖巧的旅游寵物，在興盛的旅游業(yè)里扮演重要角色。它們的精彩表演，給游人帶來樂趣和享受。,White elephant,大象品種中，數(shù)白象最
