Which BL point is 1.5 cun posterior to BL-5?

Which BL point is 1.5 cun posterior to BL-5?

• A. BL-6
• B. BL-5
• C. BL-7
• D. BL-8

Answer: (A)

On the Bladder channel, points are laid out along a defined path with set distances between them. For the head region, BL-5 and the next point behind it are separated by 1.5 cun. So a point located 1.5 cun posterior to BL-5 sits exactly at BL-6. The other options are not at that same 1.5-cun interval from BL-5, so they don’t fit the described distance. Remembering that 1 cun is a finger-width and 1.5 cun is one and a half finger-widths helps with visualizing these steps along the meridian.
