Abstract
Two Chinese characters (number: 0136 and 0142) by random were translated in order to know its original meaning. And the present researchers chose another fourteen Chinese characters (numbers: 0137-0150) by random, and separated each of the Chinese characters into two or three parts. From the result the present researchers found that the pronunciation of 12 characters was nearly or successfully obtained among 14 Chinese characters. This fact shows that the pronunciation of Chinese characters can be understood on Korean pronunciation. Therefore it is considered that ancient Koreans might have created Chinese characters.
