From June 10 to June 11, at the 2023 Henan Province “Cultural and Natural Heritage Day” Intangible Cultural Heritage Promotion and Exhibition held in Jiefang Square, Nanyang City, Henan Province, Professor Guo Yanxing, the seventh-generation national-level representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage “Pingle Guo’s Orthopedic Manipulation Technique,” led a team of experts in active participation, providing free medical consultations and patiently explaining traditional Chinese medicine culture to all visitors.

The theme of the intangible cultural heritage exhibit “Pingle Guo’s Orthopedic Manipulation” at this event is “Inheriting with Proper Methods, Developing with Sound Principles.”

The Art of Heritage is the culmination of 230 years of dedicated cultivation by eight generations of the Guo family of Pingle; it is a treasured gem of traditional Chinese medicine; it is the compassionate hands of Professor Guo Yanxing, which have healed countless patients; and it is also the tireless, day-and-night dedication of successive generations of young practitioners who have followed in her footsteps, relentlessly pursuing excellence in the art of bone-setting.

The path of development is the practical approach of “drawing from the masses and returning to the masses”—it is the promotion and popularization of intangible cultural heritage; it is a series of seemingly small yet profoundly meaningful free medical clinics; it is dialogue and exploration; it is a people-centered, patient-first philosophy; and it embodies the vision of “a physician’s benevolent heart” and “the noble integrity of a great healer.”
