Which CV point is located on the midline of the lower abdomen, 1.5 cun inferior to the umbilicus and 3.5 cun superior to the pubic symphysis?

• A. CV6
• B. CV7
• C. CV8
• D. CV9

Answer: (A)

The question tests precise localization of Ren Mai (CV) points along the midline using cun measurements from fixed landmarks. If a point is 1.5 cun below the umbilicus and 3.5 cun above the pubic symphysis, that places it exactly in the lower abdomen between these two landmarks. The distance from the umbilicus to the pubic symphysis is about 5 cun, so 1.5 cun below the umbilicus corresponds to 3.5 cun above the pubic symphysis. This location is the point known as Qihai, or CV6. Therefore CV6 is the correct identification. The other points lie at different vertical positions along the midline and do not satisfy both measurements.
