Adjective
[edit]自由
- free; unconstrained
- 曰:「凡陽性升,陰性降,升難而降易。善,陽也,惡,陰也,故善難而惡易。縱民之情,使自由之,則降於下者多矣。」 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: Xun Yue, Shenjian, late 2nd - early 3rd century CE, translated based on Chen Qiyun's version
- Yuē: “Fán yáng xìng shēng, yīn xìng jiàng, shēng nán ér jiàng yì. Shàn, yáng yě, è, yīn yě, gù shàn nán ér è yì. Zòng mín zhī qíng, shǐ zìyóu zhī, zé jiàng yú xià zhě duō yǐ.” [Pinyin]
- I said: "That which is yang always ascends; that which is yin always descends. Ascent is difficult; descent is easier. Goodness is yang and badness is yin. Therefore, it is difficult to be good and easy to be bad. If people's passions are allowed to be free, there will be more [people] falling into a lower state [of moral consciousness than those rising to a higher one]."
曰:「凡阳性升,阴性降,升难而降易。善,阳也,恶,阴也,故善难而恶易。纵民之情,使自由之,则降于下者多矣。」 [Classical Chinese, simp.]

Etymology
[edit]/d͡ʑiːu/ → /d͡ʑijuː/
Apparently first imported from Middle Chinese 自由 (MC dzijH yuw) with an original meaning of roughly “arising from oneself”. Repurposed in the 1860s by Fukuzawa Yukichi as a translation of English freedom or liberty, as an extension of the original meaning: “freedom to act according to one's own thoughts, without restriction”.[1][2]
