Which point is located on the lower abdomen, 2 cun below the umbilicus, 3 cun above the superior border of the pubis, 0.5 cun lateral to the midline?

• A. KD-11
• B. KD-14
• C. KD-12
• D. KD-13

Answer: (B)

The position described targets a specific group of points along the kidney channel on the lower abdomen. From the umbilicus, the points descend in 1-cun steps, with each point located about 0.5 cun to the side of the midline. Two cun below the umbilicus, about 3 cun above the superior border of the pubis, and 0.5 cun lateral to the midline corresponds to the KD-14 location. The other distances (3, 4, or 5 cun below the umbilicus) would place you higher or lower than this point. So the described coordinates match KD-14.
