ST-13
  Location At the midpoint of the clavicle and on its inferior border, 4 cun lateral to the anterior midline. How to find On the upper thorax region, the midclavicular line (4 cun lateral to the anterior midline) runs slightly obliquely from the clavicular midpoint to the generally more lateral nipple. Find the midpoint of the clavicle (or measure 4 cun lateral to the midline) and locate ST-13 at the lower border of the clavicle. Since the 1st rib curves posteriorly in a short bow, ST-13 is generally situated lateral to the 1st rib. ➞ KID-27 is located medial to ST-13, but inferior to the lower border of the clavicle and 2 cun lateral to the anterior midline. ➞ Ren-21 is located on the midline. ➞ ST-14 is located only slightly inferior to ST-13 in the 1st intercostal space.
