Which CV point is on the midline of the abdomen, 4 cun above the umbilicus and midway between the umbilicus and the sternocostal angle?

• A. CV 12
• B. CV 11
• C. CV 13
• D. CV 14

Answer: (A)

Placing points along the Ren (Conception) Vessel follows the body’s midline, measured in cun. A location 4 cun above the umbilicus on the midline corresponds to Zhongwan, the Front-Mu point of the Stomach. This point is classically used to harmonize the middle jiao and support stomach function, making it a common remedy for epigastric fullness, pain, nausea, and digestive upset. So, the described spot—midline of the abdomen, 4 cun above the umbilicus—matches Zhongwan. The other listed options lie at different vertical levels (either higher up toward the chest or lower, not at that 4-cun-above-umbilicus position), so they don’t fit the described location.
