Brand Story
Pingle Zheng bone-setting originated in Pingle Village, Luoyang, Henan, with a history dating back to the Jiaqing era of the Qing Dynasty (1796-1820 AD). It is said that the ancestor Guo Xiangtai learned secret bone-setting techniques from a physician of the late Ming and early Qing periods, and began practicing medicine in Pingle Village, founding the Guo family's bone-setting tradition. By the late Qing, descendants Guo Guantian and Guo Pinsan refined the craft, gaining widespread fame. During the Republic of China era, inheritors Guo Chunyuan and Guo Weihuai carried forward the family legacy, elevating the art. Pingle Zheng bone-setting is characterized by manual reduction, splint fixation, and topical herbal application, integrating TCM traumatology into a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment system. Its skills not only benefited local villagers but also treated wounded soldiers during wartime, exemplifying benevolence. The culture of Pingle Zheng embodies profound TCM philosophy and family heritage, making it a significant representative of Central Plains medical culture.
