My Wife Hyeonhi Wrote a Letter to me, “My Darling! My Husband Sangdeog Augustin!” (Tcheonzamun 241st-256th)

French Missionary Dallet (1874) described that there are many differences between Chinese culture and Korean culture. However, both Korean people and Chinese people used ‘the thousand character essay’ for their children for Chinese characters (Dallet, 1874). The thousand character essay is called as Tcheonzamun in Korea (Han, 1583). It is firmly believed that Tcheonzamun was written by Chinese people (Han, 1583). However, recently, several researchers tried to find the origin of Tcheonzamun on the different viewpoints (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). There are several methods for Tcheonzamun translation. One is through the meaning of Chinese character (Park et al., 2021). The other is on the basis of Korean pronunciation of Chinese characters on Tcheonzamun (Kim, 2023). In addition, there is a deleting method, however this method was found in happen (Kim, 2023). The present study was done through all of three methods (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). The present translating work was carried out with a Tcheonzamun poem (Tcheonzamun 241st-256th). The title of this study is ‘My wife Hyeonhi wrote a letter to me, “My Darling! My husband Sangdeog Augustin!” (Tcheonzamun 241st-256th)’. The next is the result of the present translating study. It is the first translation of the Tcheonzamun poem.

Abstract

French Missionary Dallet (1874) described that there are many differences between Chinese culture and Korean culture. However, both Korean people and Chinese people used ‘the thousand character essay’ for their children for Chinese characters (Dallet, 1874). The thousand character essay is called as Tcheonzamun in Korea (Han, 1583). It is firmly believed that Tcheonzamun was written by Chinese people (Han, 1583). However, recently, several researchers tried to find the origin of Tcheonzamun on the different viewpoints (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). There are several methods for Tcheonzamun translation. One is through the meaning of Chinese character (Park et al., 2021). The other is on the basis of Korean pronunciation of Chinese characters on Tcheonzamun (Kim, 2023). In addition, there is a deleting method, however this method was found in happen (Kim, 2023). The present study was done through all of three methods (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). The present translating work was carried out with a Tcheonzamun poem (Tcheonzamun 241st-256th). The title of this study is ‘My wife Hyeonhi wrote a letter to me, “My Darling! My husband Sangdeog Augustin!” (Tcheonzamun 241st-256th)’. The next is the result of the present translating study. It is the first translation of the Tcheonzamun poem. This translation is through Korean pronunciation of Chinese character on Tcheonzamun (Kim, 2023). <Number in Tcheonzamun.
