Shenque (CV8)
Navel — Conception Vessel point
Shenque is CV8 at the umbilicus on the front midline. The navel is a recurring bodily centre in Chinese internal-body and martial writing, but this map records only a location and a textual association; it does not endorse striking or penetrating it.

Dianxue / shixue passages in classical quan pu (primary_canonical)
Ming–Qing dianxue/shixue quan pu, in heterogeneous point-striking passages concerning cv8 shenque, preserves a martial vulnerability vocabulary and lineage claim; contested attribution means it is not a single canonical chart or a clinically validated effect.
Huangdi Neijing · Lingshu (primary_canonical)
Lingshu ch. 10 (Jing mai) gives the Ren Mai umbilical region at Shenque (CV8); the modern alphanumeric point identity and dianxue application are later nomenclatures, so this passage supports channel topography rather than a martial effect.
