It comes from a doctor named Ascleber and is praised by the great Greek poet Homer in his epic. According to legend, Ascui Lebo was the son of Apollo who was regarded as the god of medicine in 400 BC. He traveled around with a wand wrapped around a snake in his hand, saving lives.
Because of his superb medical skills and kindness, he is particularly popular. Later generations, out of reverence for the spirit snake and the imperial doctor, and in memory of Ascleber, took "the spirit snake winds around the middle vein (spine)" as a medical symbol, which is the origin of the spirit snake emblem, which means treating diseases and saving lives.
In modern times, the United States, Britain, Canada, Germany and the United Nations World Health Organization all regard the snake emblem as their medical symbol.

The god of medicine, Ashibis
Asclepius (Asclepius; Latin aesculapius is the god of medicine in Roman mythology. His image is holding a stick with a snake wrapped around it. Why did the Greeks associate this sign with medical care? That's because snakes shed their skin every year, which has always been regarded as a process of recovery and renewal.
The wooden stick represents the position of the spine and midvein of the human body. Represents the double helix ascending movement when the mental quantity rises along the midvein. Coincidentally, this double helix form of mental activity is very similar to the DNA molecular structure of human genetic genes.
In ancient times, especially in hospitals located in medical hot springs, snakes were regarded as sacred objects. It is said that when the plague raged in ancient Rome, people invited Ashibis, who was transformed into a giant snake, and the plague disappeared immediately.
