Which LU point is 7 cun proximal to LU-9 on the forearm?

Which LU point is 7 cun proximal to LU-9 on the forearm?

• A. LU-9
• B. LU-8
• C. LU-6
• D. LU-5

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is how to locate points along a channel using cun measurements on the forearm. Starting at LU-9, which sits at the wrist crease, tracing the Lung channel proximally toward the elbow you encounter LU-8, LU-7, and then LU-6 before reaching LU-5 near the elbow. In standard charts, LU-6 lies about seven cun from LU-9 along this path, placing it in the mid-forearm. So the point that sits seven cun upward from LU-9 is LU-6.
