Abstract
The poem was selected from785th to 800th characters of the Tcheonzamun (The thousand character essay), and it expressed the Maeg woman ardent and deep love for his husband. This poem seems to be created 2500 years ago by a woman of Maeg country. And it showed the small but important controversy between a wife and a husband during their common life; because the husband searched for favorite and outer appearance, while the wife wanted a marriage life on the practical and inner viewpoint. The husband continued to be in exterior of his home. At last outdoors the husband was not able to eat sufficiently. In Korean language 'IbbeunGaksi!' means 'My dear Darling!' It can be said that the indirect or unseen theme of this poem is “I am able to know the intention of God through my neighbors, especially through my wife”.
