Which point is on the medial aspect of the lower leg, 2 cun above Taixi KID-3 and 0.5 cun anterior to Fùliú KID-7, posterior to the tibia?

• A. KD 7
• B. KD 6
• C. KD 8
• D. KD 5

Answer: (C)

Locating points on the Kidney channel along the medial leg relies on using known landmarks and precise distances from them. Taixi (Kidney 3) sits at the ankle, posterior to the medial malleolus, while Fùliú (Kidney 7) is positioned higher up on the medial leg behind the tibia, about 2 cun above the ankle.

The described point is in the medial lower leg, 2 cun above Taixi and 0.5 cun anterior to Fùliú, with its location posterior to the tibia. This exact spatial relationship matches Kidney 8, which lies in that region along the Kidney channel—just in front of the tibia and near the line from Taixi toward Fùliú.

The other options occupy different coordinates or sides of the tibia and do not fit this anterior relationship to Fùliú or the specified distance from Taixi.
