随着社会的不断发展，大象这类动物也逐渐被人们熟悉，人们越发觉得大象和人类具有很多的共同性：群居、感情丰富、智慧等等。也因此石雕大象的造型，在千年石雕之乡惠安被制作得越来越丰富，高大威猛的用以家居镇宅，小巧玲珑的用来装饰庭院、增添和谐气氛，精致花哨的则用以摆放在高档酒店、会所门口，招财吸财还有吉象迎宾的寓意。大象摆放环境不同，在形态雕刻上也会有所偏重，随之自然就会有不同的寓意。
With the continuous development of society, elephants are becoming more and more familiar with people. People increasingly feel that elephants and humans have a lot in common: social, emotional, wisdom and so on. Therefore, the shapes of stone elephants have been made more and more abundant in Hui'an, the hometown of stone carvings for thousands of years. They are tall and powerful to use for home, small and exquisite to decorate the courtyard and add harmony, and exquisite and fancy to put them in the doorway of high-end hotels and clubs to attract money and Auspicious Images to welcome guests. Elephants are placed in different environments, and there will be a bias in the form of sculpture, which will naturally have different implications.
