1Where is Fuyang?

Outer back of the lower leg, 3 cun higher than BL60, in the gap separating the fibula from the calcaneal tendon.

Beneath the point

Fibula · Fibularis brevis muscle · Calcaneal tendon · Fibular artery

Our 3D measurement · In our 3D model: 3 cun (69.1 mm) above BL60, midway between the back of the fibula and the lateral edge of the calcaneal tendon.

2How do I find it on my body?

Find Kunlun, the dip between the outer ankle bone and the calcaneal tendon.
Go straight up 3 cun — 3 of the 16 cun from the outer ankle bone to the knee crease.
At that height, press between the back edge of the fibula and the calcaneal tendon.

What is a “cun”?

A cun is a body-scaled unit of length. The precise way is to divide a bone length into equal parts (proportional bone cun); finger widths are a quick estimate.

📖 Words explained

fibular artery: A branch of the posterior tibial artery that runs down behind the fibula.
