Which BL point lies 3 cun directly above BL60?

• A. BL 60
• B. BL 59
• C. BL 58
• D. BL 61

Answer: (B)

The distance along a meridian is measured in cun, so knowing where BL60 sits helps you locate other points in line with it. BL60 is at the ankle, in the depression between the lateral malleolus and the Achilles tendon. Moving directly upward along the same Bladder channel by three cun brings you to BL59, which is why that point is the correct answer. The other points are not at that exact three-cun distance above BL60 on the same meridian, so they don’t fit the described location.
