Abstract

French Missionary Dallet (1874) described that the thousand character essay has been utilized for long time both in China and in Korea. The book is called as Tcheonzamun in Korea, and it was translated mainly on Chinese grammar (Han, 1583). The meaning of Tcheonzamun (千字文) is the thousand(千) character(字) essay(文). The translation on Chinese grammar simply concerns the loyal to the king, the sincere love to the parents, or the heroes in China (Han, 1583). Recently, several researchers translated Tcheonzamun newly on Korean grammar, and the theme was the love between the husband and the wife (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). The present work will translate the Tcheonzamun poem (Tcheonzamun 529th-544th) on Korean grammar. There are several methods for the translation of Tcheonzamun on Korean grammar. The first one is through Korean pronunciation of Chinese character on Tcheonzamun (Kim, 2023). The second one is on the basis of the meaning of Chinese character (Park et al., 2021). The third one is on the deleting of Chinese characters on Tcheonzamun (Kim, 2023), and it is called as the analyze of Chinese character. The present researchers translated the present Tcheonzamun poem on the basis of the meaning of Chinese character (Park et al., 2021), and the range of the present study is (Tcheonzamun 529th-544th). This study concerns the translation of Tcheonzamun poem. The range of the present Tcheonzamun translation is (Tcheonzamun 529th-544th). The title of this study is ‘My Lord!
