The article attempts to involve Zhuangzi and Roland Barthes in an encounter that transcends time and space and takes place in their textual space through the power of words. The core of this meeting is language, power, the tangle of the things derived from the subject, and the way to obtain liberation and happiness from the power distribution in language. For Zhuangzi, the point is ”ru you qi fan er wu gan qi ming” (entering and roaming in an enclosure without sensing it), and for Barthes, it lies in ”entry into a place that we can strictly term outside the bounds of power.” They both believe that people cannot escape from the intricate symbol system, and that the path to freedom and happiness is not to escape from the language system but to master it. The power of the symbols in literature that Barthes praises matches the deconstructive effects of Zhangzi's goblet words; the compact textual world constructed with words is actually full of space to them. Here, power is criticized, language is deconstructed, and the self is freed.
