BL-4
  Location 0.5 cun superior to the anterior hairline and 1.5 cun lateral to the midline (or one third of the distance between ➞ Du-24 and ➞ ST-8). How to find While ➞BL-3 is still located on a vertical line through the inner canthus of the eye, BL-4 is located slightly more laterally (hence its name). The distance of 1.5 cun from the midline refers to the proportional cun measurements along the anterior hairline (➞ 3.1.1): the distance between ➞ Du-24 (on the midline) and ➞ ST-8 (on the corner of the forehead) is 4.5 proportional cun; therefore, the distance between BL-4 and the midline is one third of this distance. Located on the same level (0.5 cun within the anterior hairline) are ➞ Du-24 (on the midline), ➞ BL-3 (superior to the inner canthus of the eye), ➞ G.B.-15 (on the pupil line), ➞ G.B.-13 (3 cun lateral to the midline) and ➞ ST-8 (on the corner of the forehead).
