Which point is on the anterior midline of the neck, in the depression above the hyoid bone?

• A. CV 22
• B. CV 23
• C. CV 24
• D. GV 2

Answer: (B)

The point described sits on the front midline of the neck in the small depression just above the hyoid bone. This is Lianquan, the point positioned there along the anterior midline. It’s the one that specifically matches the location “above the hyoid” in the neck region. Lianquan is often referenced for effects on the tongue and throat, aligning with its position in the submental neck area. The other options are located in different areas: Tiantu is higher up in the front of the chest near the suprasternal notch; Chengjiang sits in the chin/mentolabial region; and a Governing Vessel point lies along the midline on the back, not in the anterior neck.
