Rocks in Chinese thought are supposed to be full of Chi, the vital breath or Prana. They are living entities in thei
own right; a rock is deemed capable of dying when the Chi leaves it. A powerful rock may even become a sacred spot or a
personal mentor, its energies being conducive to the development of psychic and
intuitive abilities. Rocks have such a transcendent aspect to them, an impact
on the surrounding environment far in excess of their physical limits, that
they are called Yun Ken, the ‘roots
of the clouds’, and they form the framework for heaven and earth.
