    The original meaning of "Zìyóu" refers to acting according to one’s own thoughts and will, free from external constraints. Both Confucianism and Taoism in ancient China yearned for inner and life freedom without fetters. After modern times, it was adopted to translate "liberty" and "freedom." As a proper term, it mainly has two connotations: first, the legally protected right to unrestricted will and behavior in aspects like speech, assembly, and religious belief; second, the philosophical freedom—after understanding the laws of nature and society, humans gain the freedom to transform the objective world, which serves human all-round development and is one of the core values of a better society.
