Large Intestine Channel
1/35
LI-8 is located ______ distal to LI-11, on the line connecting LI-5 and LI-11.
Books say that LI-8 is 4 cun down from LI-11. But it may be easier to remember that LI-8, LI-9, and LI-10 are 8, 9, and 10 cun up from LI-5. So if LI-8 is 8 cun up from LI-5, that means it's 4 cun down from LI-11.
