What does freedom of mind mean?

In China's ancient thoughts, "heart" represents the mind and spiritual world of emotion, will, consciousness and wisdom.

In ancient society, because the orthodox thought and formal system mainly regarded freedom as a private casual attitude or behavior, freedom became a more rhetorical marginalized word in the traditional social context. This leads to the inward development of the traditional thought of freedom, that is, as some scholars think, freedom in China's traditional context is more of an "irrelevant freedom", that is, a person's self-satisfaction beyond interpersonal relationships, rules and systems. This "unrelated freedom" coexists, blends and fits with China's traditional theory of mind and nature, forming a unique thought of mind and nature freedom in China's traditional culture.
