Abstract
French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote that the thousand character essay has been well utilized as the textbook for the children for Chinese character both in China and in Korea. The thousand character essay is called as Tcheonzamun (千字文) in Korea (Han, 1583). It is well known that the theme of Tcheonzamun is loyalty to the king (Han, 1583). Recently, several researchers suggested that the theme of Tcheonzamun is the family and married life (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). The deleting method was used for the translation of Tcheonzamun poem (Kim, 2023). The mark of [ ] indicates the deletion on the same Chinese character, and the mark of () shows the deletion of similar part of Chinese character on Tcheonzamun. The range of this study is (Tcheonzamun 081st-096th). And somewhat old Tcheonzamun book (Han, 1583) was used on the present work The two replication of the Chinese character were presented in order to compare the original Chinese character with the deleted one. The translation was carried out on the remained part(s) of Chinese character on Tcheonzamun (Kim, 2023). The title of this study is ‘My husband! Do you want for our children(子) to grow up into the good person(丿)? (始(Si) 制(Ze) 文(Mun) 字(Za)). My husband! In order to do this, I(your wife)(小) am able to speak(口) well in our family like the water(水) flows in the stream (乃(Nae) 服(Bog) 衣(I) 裳(Sang)) (Tcheonzamun
