China's traditional Chinese medicine to 

        Reel, namely in the form of implicit abstract, obscure the image of the metaphor of a business or industry, often can be one image is nothing to do with physical as a special sign of this industry. , of course, the industry generally are more familiar, mark form and more conventional. 
 
        The gourds hanging over the magic as a symbol of medicine, may be selling drugs is one of the earliest centers, this way of promotion in recorded history. "Were, religious preach, cost is the eldest branch" cloud: "for a fee the eldest branch, RuNa people also, rafter. With old man selling medicine in city, hung a pot of the head, and municipal works, plunged into the pot, the city people's opinion. But the eldest branch to the upstairs to see, how." This is also the emergence of new things, at the time that takes the eldest branch as market manager stood flag pavilion upstairs, see this hang the gourd high market street (head) spreading new advertising also feel quite bizarre. After the han dynasty, pharmacy suspension for reel gradually into customs. Retained in Chinese ancient society for thousands of years, and continues until the beginning of the founding of new China. 
 
        Followed by "practise medicine" has gradually become a symbol of ancient medicine. Northern wei dynasty, li daoyuan "water the note, your" cloud: "yesterday the eldest branch as a city, collectors, the king pot and practise medicine in the city, the eldest branch from the, so far, with into the pot, implicit theory XianLu." The pot of the male character account pot male be cloud: "its sell herbal medicine, fit all the more. Language sell drugs yue: take this medicine will spit out something, one day when the. Like him will be destroyed. To day receive tens of thousands of money, and give the poor deploying, hunger, cold wagged by little." The record shows that pot of holy men is, hung a pot of the city are a purdue beings. So, the ancient Chinese medicine opened, will at the door hung a picture of a recruit: -- practise medicine, show their skill, can all beings, phuket and reasonable charge. It is because the pot male allusions to circulate very wide, so again produce a slang: "your gourd sell what medicine?" At the same time, children also "practise medicine offers" is commonly used to describe the doctor save people's lives or medical ethics. The qingming festival on the painting ", "zhao cheng's house" in the medicine paved in front of the door "practise medicine" as a cover. Later, the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine doctor, though not to recruit and sign of "practise medicine" as a practice, but "practise medicine" is listed as a symbol of practicing medicine. 
 
        And selling drugs "practise medicine" for the reel, healers in the "almond shaped" logo to the industry. Its origin is associated with the Dong Feng of The Three Kingdoms period. Dong Feng, word jun, fujian hou officer person, and the eastern han zhang zhongjing, hua tuo "take three imperial doctor". The taiping records broadly, volume 12 carrying Dong Feng anecdotes: "wu home, there are young to serve the county magistrate, seen in forty years, I don't know the way. Hai rui, after more than 50 years, for his job, so the hou officer, all GuLi people are old, and yan MAO, as in the past. Ask: your word? I ever see you so, I today has hoary head, but you turn less, too? In yue: ear by accident." This seems Dong Feng not mortal, but the person of a be immortal, so to youth. The taiping records broadly in volume 12 "also documented Dong Feng basis:" Du Xie as secretariat of state, the poison and death, death for three days, serve in there, is, with three pills, medicine in the mouth, with water, make the person holding the head, shaking and elimination of surroundings, hand, foot and apparent movement, color also gradually, half day is can sit up, four days after is language." As for dong as the cost of treatment, our "peaceful, volume six hundred and sixty-four," cloud: "in the mountain farming, cure diseases also don't take money. Planted five strains of apricot, the more years hundreds of residual strain gauge." This is the source of the word "almond shaped". So, in front of the drugstore often have "almond shaped spring scenery" call centers, in here can have a buttoned herbs and healer, and for medical Gao Mingzhe, patients often give free on the "master of almond shaped" in order to show respect.
