  Location On the anterior midline, 3 cun inferior to the sternocostal angle. How to find The distance between the sternocostal angle and the centre of the umbilicus is divided into 8 cun, which can vary considerably from the patient’s finger cun. Therefore, only proportional cun measurements should be applied here (helpful device: elastic tape ). From the sternocostal angle, measure 3 cun in an inferior direction and there locate Ren-13 on the anterior midline. Located on the same level are ➞ KID-20 (0.5 cun lateral to the midline), ➞ ST-20 (2 cun lateral to the midline) and ➞ G.B.-24 (approximately on this level, in the 7th intercostal space, on the mamillary line).
