The Influence of Korean early language on the Creation of Chinese Characters - Based on the relationship between The “不sound” clusters, “丕sound” clusters, “否sound” clusters, “咅sound” clusters and the Ancient Korean language
When studying The Old Chinese sound, you will find vocabulary that is the same as or similar to ancient Korean, which has raised the problem of borrowing vocabulary between the two countries. A systematic approach is needed to examine the borrowing problem, and in this paper, the study was conducted by using Phonetic Radical System. First of all, after examining the systematic correspondence with ancient Korean through [*kl(r)-]-type Compound initial consonant 圭 Phonetic Radicals([*kwrigs]) and 丯 Phonetic Radicals([*kre:ds]), we found that the [*pl(r)-]-type Compound initial consonant also systematically corresponded to ancient Korean through research on 辟 Phonetic Radicals([*pleg]), 不 Phonetic Radicals([*pɯd]), 丕 Phonetic Radicals([*phrɯ]), 否 Phonetic Radicals([*brɯʔ]), and 咅 Phonetic Radicals([*pʰlɯ̠s ̠]) are also very systematically corresponding to ancient Korean in terms of 'monthly circulation' and 'pregnancy'. Based on these, it concluded that this could never be seen as an ordinary borrowing relationship, given that the response between the Compound initial consonant of Old Chinese sound and ancient Korean was broad, had a large number of related derivatives, and that it would not completely rule out the possibility that Korean ancestral language had a certain influence on the creation of Chinese characters during the Ancient Chinese language period, where many Compound initial consonant were believed to have existed.
