Zigong (Abdomen) zǐ gōng · 子宫

Location. On the lower abdomen, 4 cun below the centre of the umbilicus and 3 cun lateral to the anterior midline.

The name means the uterus, so the point is named after an organ rather than after a surface landmark. It is a point outside the fourteen channels. The English name is given here with an abdomen qualifier because Zigong is also the pinyin name of Zigong (CV19), a different point on the chest.

定位。在下腹部,脐中下 4 寸,前正中线旁开 3 寸。

穴名取子宫之意,以脏腑命名,非以体表标志命名。为十四经之外的奇穴。英文名加注 abdomen,以别于同名的胸部穴紫宫(CV19)。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
Over the lower abdomen, with the pelvic organs beneath. Classical sources carry a caution about use in pregnancy. Gentle pressure is what a reader can safely do at home; needling depth is a practitioner concern.
