On the lower abdomen, which point lies 2 cun lateral to the midline and 1 cun inferior to the umbilicus, level with Yīnjiāo REN-7?

• A. ST 24
• B. ST 25
• C. ST 26
• D. ST 27

Answer: (C)

This question tests precise abdominal point location using the midline and umbilical landmarks. The described position is 2 cun to the side of the body’s midline and 1 cun below the umbilicus, on the same horizontal level as REN-7. The point that matches these coordinates on the Stomach channel is ST 26. It sits just below the umbilicus and 2 cun lateral to the midline, aligning with REN-7 on the midline. Other nearby points sit at different vertical levels relative to the umbilicus, so they don’t fit this exact description. Understanding how to read these coordinates—distance from the midline and distance below the umbilicus—lets you accurately locate ST 26.
