Which acupuncture point is located in the fourth intercostal space 1 cun lateral and slightly superior to the nipple?

• A. KD 26
• B. KD 27
• C. KD 25
• D. PC 1

Answer: (D)

Understanding location on the chest uses intercostal spaces and the cun distance from the nipple. The point described is in the fourth intercostal space, 1 cun lateral to the nipple, and positioned slightly above the nipple line. This matches the Pericardium point located in the chest along the nipple line, known as Pericardium 1 (Zhongquan). It sits in the lateral chest area over the pectoralis major, not directly on the midline or in a different space.

The other options refer to points that are in different positions along the chest or on other channels, so they do not fit this precise description.
