Qimen (LV14)
Rib margin — Liver channel point, right representative
Qimen is LV14 at the lower rib margin, near the anterior thoracic-abdominal transition; the right-side anchor follows the project's anatomical-right convention. The rib and upper-abdominal area is treated as a vulnerable flank region in martial lore, while the Liver tag records a TCM channel and wuxing association rather than a biomedical target claim.

Dianxue / shixue passages in classical quan pu (primary_canonical)
Ming–Qing dianxue/shixue quan pu, in heterogeneous point-striking passages concerning lv14 qimen, 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 Liver-channel chest course at Qimen (LV14); the modern alphanumeric point identity and dianxue application are later nomenclatures, so this passage supports channel topography rather than a martial effect.
