Abstract
The researchers used a poem composed of 16 letters from 881st to the 896th of Tcheonzamun (the Thousand Character Essay). The researchers translated this poem using two methods; through the pronunciation of Korean language and looking at the meaning of Chinese characters. This poem is mainly concerned on marriage life between the Maeg husband and the Maeg wife, but it also has relevance between humans and God. The representative of this Tcheonzamun poem is not the man (the Maeg husband) but the woman (Maeg wife). And it is the conclusion of this Tcheonzamun poem; "I, your wife, am the human-being between the God, our LORD and you, my husband!" This phrase can be changed newly into this sentence. "You, my husband, can continue to treat me, your wife, badly. But this is an expression that you, my husband, do not behave properly to the God, and you do not respect our LORD!".
