Windstone Press was founded with the aim to bring people greater knowledge of Chinese medicine and philosophy through a deeper understanding of the classics through classical Chinese language and translations.
Hexagram 57 of the 易經 (yi jing, i ching) is commonly referred to as Penetrating Influence. The image is of a subtle but unceasing wind that contains great influence and power. Patience, gentleness, persistence, and non-aggression are its qualities. On the coast of Taiwan, there are rock formations formed over thousands of years from the penetrating influence of the wind. The rocks are extremely polished and have taken on amazing shapes that continuously change and transform. These rocks are known as 風化石, or Windstones. These images represent the consistent and gentle approach we take toward Chinese medicine and philosophy and it is the approach we hope our readers follow.
