Which CV point is located 1.5 cun inferior to the umbilicus and 3.5 cun superior to the pubic symphysis?

• A. CV5
• B. CV6
• C. CV2
• D. CV7

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is how Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) points are located along the midline using fixed cun measurements from recognizable landmarks. The point in question is the one located 1.5 cun below the umbilicus. Because the distance from the umbilicus down to the pubic symphysis is about 5 cun, being 1.5 cun below the umbilicus also places it 3.5 cun above the pubic symphysis, which matches this point’s standard location.

This point, Qi Hai, is a major tonification point for both prenatal qi and kidney yang, and it’s commonly used to boost overall qi, support abdominal function, and address deficiency patterns. The other options do not lie at these exact measurements along the midline, so they do not align with the described location.
