Which CV point is located on the midline of the abdomen 6 cun above the umbilicus and 2 cun below the sternocostal angle?

• A. CV 12
• B. CV 13
• C. CV 15
• D. CV 14

Answer: (D)

The distance system used for Ren (CV) points relies on measuring along the midline from fixed landmarks. Here, you’re given two references: a point 6 cun above the umbilicus and 2 cun below the sternocostal angle. The Ren point that sits in that exact position is CV14 (Juque). It sits along the midline of the chest, just below the sternum, and is classically described using those vertical references from the abdomen upward and from the sternum downward. That combination uniquely identifies CV14, which is why it’s the correct choice.

Other Ren points around the abdomen sit at different vertical distances from the umbilicus, so they wouldn’t meet both criteria simultaneously.
