Which BL point is located on the lower leg, 3 cun directly superior to BL60?

• A. BL 59
• B. BL 56
• C. BL 60
• D. BL 58

Answer: (A)

Measuring along a meridian with cun units. BL60 sits in the depression between the lateral malleolus and the Achilles tendon at the ankle. Moving three cun directly upward along the bladder channel places BL59 on the lower leg. That is why this point is the correct one for being three cun above BL60. The other points lie at different positions along the leg and do not match that exact offset.
