In Korea, the thousand character essay is called as Tcheonzamun (Han, 1583). Dallet (1874) introduced the Tcheonzamun book into the Western World. It is firmly believed that Tcheonzamun was created by Chinese people, and the translation was also carried out on Chinese grammar (Han, 1583).

On the present work, the researchers will try to translate the Tcheonzamun poem on the method of Park et al., (2021).
