Which point lies on the thigh, 2 cun proximal to the superior border of the patella?

• A. ST 31
• B. ST 34
• C. ST 33
• D. ST 32

Answer: (B)

Locating points on the thigh along the stomach meridian uses fixed distances from landmarks. The point two cun above the upper edge of the patella sits on the thigh in the muscle belly and is known as Liangqiu. This exact position identifies ST 34. It’s commonly used for knee pain and joint issues because it lies over the muscle bulk where the stomach channel can influence the knee region. The other thigh points lie at different distances or along different lines, so they don’t fit this two-cun-above-the-patella description.
