Which point is in the temporal region, in the slight depression 1 cun directly above the apex of the ear?

• A. GB 8
• B. GB 9
• C. GB 7
• D. GB 6

Answer: (A)

In the temporal region, you use the ear apex as a landmark and move one cun straight upward into a shallow hollow. That exact spot is GB8 on the Gallbladder channel, located in the slight depression 1 cun above the apex of the ear. The nearby points are at different vertical positions or closer to the ear, so they don’t match this precise location.
