Abstract

‘The thousand character essay’ is called in Korea as ‘Tcheonzamun’ (Han, 1583). French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that ancient Chinese people utilized Tcheonzamun as a textbook for Chinese characters for their children. However, it is not well known 1) when ‘The thousand character essay’ was created, 2) who has made this splendid masterpiece. Han (1583) described that Tcheonzamun book was established around 5th century by Chinese people. While Dallet (1874) suggested that Tcheonzamun book was already utilized before B.C. 3rd century on Tsin (秦) country in the ancient Chinese period. Park et al., (2021a) translated the Tcheonzamun poem through the meaning of Chinese character on Tcheonzamun. But Park et al., (2021 b) and Kim (2023) reported that Tcheonzamun poem was well translated in Korean pronunciation, and these authors considered that Tcheonzamun was created by Korean language-speaking people. And it is considered that the theme of Tcheonzamun is the love between the husband and the wife (Park et al., 2021 b; Kim, 2023). There are two methods for the translation of Tcheonzamun poem.
