自治 Self-discipline/Self-control
自己治理自己，包括修養自身德行、約束自己行為、管理自己事務等含義。在政治上，它屬于“人治”范疇。它要求治理者順應形勢嚴格管好自己，以身作則，然后帶動廣大民眾管好自己及自己的事情，進而達成整個社會的良好治理狀態。近代以來，人們用它與autonomy和self-government對譯，使“自治”一詞演變為政治概念，指依據法律規定，在一個國家內，民族、地區、團體等除了受所隸屬的國家、政府或上級單位領導外，行政上相對獨立，對自己的事務可以獨立行使一定的權力，如“地方自治”“民族區域自治”等。
The ability to control one's self includes cultivating one's mind, controlling one's behavior, and managing one's affairs. Politically, it falls into the category of "rule by man," in which the ruler exercises strict self-discipline and sets an example, so that the people also manage their affairs properly. This leads to positive social governance. In modern times, zizhi (自治) is used as the counterpart of "autonomy" or "self-government," so it has become a political concept. It means that, within a state, ethnic groups, geographic regions and civil groupings have a certain amount of administrative independence while still following national, governmental and organizational regulations, e.g., "local autonomy," and "regional ethnic autonomy."
