Abstract
French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that ‘the thousand character essay’ had been used in Tchi’n (秦) dynasty as a textbook for the children for Chinese character instruction. It is said that this dynasty of Tchi’n was destroyed B.C. 207. It will be really interesting if the reader knows the real meaning of Tcheonzamun, so several researchers tried to translate Tcheonzamun poem (Park et al., 2021a; Park et al., 2021b). The conventional translation of Tcheonzamun poem had been for four letters or for eight letters (Han, 1583). And the conventional translation is mainly focused on the Chinese heroes or on Chinese local district. But Park et al., (2021a; 2021b) translated the poem for sixteen letters, and the content is totally different from the content as shown on the usual translation. Therefore, the present researcher wanted to know the intention of Tcheonzamun author, and he studied this poem of (Tcheonzamun753rd-768th). The thousand character essay is called as ‘Tcheonzamun (千字文)’ in Korea (Han, 1583). Tcheonzamun is composed of 1000 Chinese characters. It is the meaning of Chinese character of (千字文). The Tcheonzamun poem is consisted of 16 letters except the last poem. Therefore, there are 63 poems in Tcheonzamun. The method in the present work is through the meaning of Chinese character (Park et al., 2021b). The title of this work is ‘Your father would have the joy, because you have done your work diligently (Tcheonzamun753rd-768th)’. The theme of this Tcheonzamun poem is shown as follows. 757-760 園(Won) 莽(Mang) 抽(Tchu) 條(Zo). While the grass (莽) grown in the soil (園) extends (抽) its own stem (條). Even though the grass is not clear or beautiful, this grass plant does not need to get helps from others.
