What does the logo on the ambulance mean snake and sword .

The symbol of the "snake" on the ambulance is actually "the spirit snake around the central channel (vertebrae)", which is the symbol and emblem of medicine, called the "snake emblem", that is, the emblem of the spirit snake.

The emblem of the spirit snake has a long history and has a specific meaning. Homer, the great Greek poet, praised Ascarrepo as the great perfect physician in his epic poems. Legend has it that he was the son of Apollo, who was worshipped as the god of medicine in 400 BC.

Askelepo is a dignified, elegant, and kind doctor, who holds a scepter coiled around the serpent and travels far and wide to heal and save people. Because of his excellent medical skills and kindness, he is especially popular.

Later generations, out of reverence for the snake and the divine doctor, and in order to commemorate the Asphu Leibo, they took the "snake around the central channel (vertebrae)" as a medical mark, which is the origin of the snake emblem, which means to cure people's diseases.

The snake symbol is called the snake staff, also known as the star of life, and is the international symbol of the Emergency Medical Service System (EMS).

Asclepius is the god of medicine in Roman mythology. His image is of a wooden stick wrapped around a snake. The Greeks associated this sign with medicine because snakes shed their skin every year, which has always been considered a process of restoration and renewal.

The wooden rod represents the vertebrae of the human body and is also the location of the central channel. It represents the activity of a double helix upward movement when the Kundalini rises along the central channel. In ancient times, snakes were revered as sacred objects, especially in hospitals located in medical hot springs.

It is said that when ancient Rome was ravaged by the plague, people invited Ahipis, who was transformed into a giant serpent, and the plague disappeared immediately.

The medical and health emergency system should be uniformly marked, including first-aid suits, badges, armbands, vehicle passes, etc., to ensure that the public health emergency team can arrive at the scene safely and smoothly in the first place. In the past, snakes and magic wands were the symbols of ancient foreign doctors, because the medical technology at that time was still in the stage of mixing with witchcraft and animal self-treatment, so it was represented by these two things for a long time, and the modern World Red Cross was established, and these two things were used as symbols when designing the logo, and they have been used to this day.

The ambulance symbol snake is a cane coiled with a snake pattern. The blue snake staff runs through the star of life, meaning saving the dead and helping the wounded. In order to distinguish it from the Red Cross logo, there are six positive corners centered on the snake, and the six corners are lined in twos and twos.

They represent a function of emergency medical care services, including patient inspection, reporting, ambulance attendance, on-site treatment, in-transit care, and transportation to specific medical units. These six functions, in the order of the entire first aid, are a complete first aid process.

It is based on the legend of a doctor named Askerebo, who was praised in the epic by the great poet Xingma. The son of Apollo, who was regarded as the god of medicine in 400 BC, he traveled far and wide with a scepter coiled around the serpent to heal and save people. Because of his excellent medical skills and kindness, he is especially popular.

In later generations, out of reverence for the divine doctor and the snake, and in order to commemorate Asphurebo, "the snake around the crutch" was used as a medical mark. This is the origin of the snake emblem - the scepter means to travel all over the world and heal people, and the spirit snake is a symbol of health and longevity.
