Which Liver point is located 3 cun inferior to Qìchōng ST-30 on the anterior border of m. adductor longus?

• A. LV 9
• B. LV 11
• C. LV 12
• D. LV 10

Answer: (D)

The location test is about tracing the Liver channel down the inner thigh using a fixed landmark and a cun distance. Qi Chong (ST-30) sits higher in the groin region, and along the anterior border of the adductor longus, the Liver point that lies about 3 cun below ST-30 is the one you’re looking for. This spot is the Liver point known as LV ten, positioned exactly at that 3-cun distance on the anterior border of the adductor longus.

Think of the thigh segment of the Liver channel as a line descending the medial thigh, with LV ten situated at this precise point. The other Liver points in this area sit at different positions or distances, so they wouldn’t align with 3 cun below ST-30 on that border.
