The Thousand character essay is called in Korea as Tcheonzamun (Han, 1583). There are significant differences between Chinese language and Korean language. So, the translation must be different. The main stream of Tcheonzamun translation was through Chinese language (Han, 1583). Recently, the minor stream of Tcheonzamun translation through Korean language was started (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). This study is done on the viewpoint of translation on Korean language (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). The present work was carried out by the second method (Park et al., 2021). The range of this study is (Tcheonzamun 529th-544th). This work concerns the translation of the thousand character essay. The thousand character essay is called in Korea as Tcheonzamun (Han, 1583).

I will bend(曲) even the mountain(阜), I will build our house(宅) there, and I will protect our house safely(奄) (Tcheonzamun 529th-544th)’.

French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that the thousand character essay has been utilized as a textbook for the Chinese children for learning Chinese characters. In Korea, the book is called as Tcheonzamun(千字文) in Korea (Han, 1583). The meaning of Tcheonzamun is the thousand(千) character(字) essay(文). Dallet (1874) described that there are many differences between China and Korea, for example, the origin of the people, language. In general, this great book was translated in the view-point of Chinese people (Han, 1583). However, recently, several researchers tried to translate Tcheonzamun poem on Korean version (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). There are several methods for Tcheonzamun translation. The first method is through Korean pronunciation of Chinese characters (Kim, 2023). The second one is on the meaning of Chinese characters on Tcheonzamun (Park et al., 2021). The third method is through the deletion of the part(s) of Chinese characters, and the translation will be done with the remained part(s) (Kim, 2023). In the present study, the researchers tried to translate the poem on the basis of the meaning of Chinese character (Park et al., 2021). The present work concerns the translation of Tcheonzamun poem (Tcheonzamun 433rd-448th). The title of this study is ‘My husband! Please regard me, your wife, in the right direction(對)!

Against the backdrop of the accelerating digital transformation in education, school counseling services are encountering increasing demands for enhanced professional competencies among practitioners. This study aims to examine the current state of school counseling competencies among undergraduate students majoring in Social Work at Hung Vuong University within the context of digital transformation. A quantitative research design was employed, using a questionnaire-based survey administered to a sample of 90 Social Work students. The measurement instrument comprised 22 observed items across five competency domains: (1) professional awareness and disciplinary knowledge; (2) school counseling skills; (3) professional ethics and professional attitudes; (4) digital technology competence; and (5) self-assessment and professional development competence. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Cronbach’s Alpha for reliability testing, independent-samples t-tests, and Pearson correlation analysis. The findings reveal that students’ overall school counseling competence was at a moderately high level (M = 3.40/5). Stronger performance was observed in the domain of professional ethics and attitudes, whereas notable limitations were identified in school counseling skills, self-assessment and professional development competence, and digital technology competence. The competency domains demonstrated moderate to relatively strong positive correlations. These results underscore the necessity of integrated and competency-based training approaches to strengthen school counseling competencies among Social Work students in response to the demands of digital transformation in education.

French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote that the thousand character essay is utilized for teaching Chinese children for Chinese characters. The thousand character essay is called in Korea as Tcheonzamun (Han, 1583). Tcheonzamun(千字文) means the thousand(千) character(字) essay(文). And these three Chinese characters, themselves, mean ‘the thousand character essay’. The Koreans firmly believed that Tcheonzamun was created by Chinese people (Han, 1583). However, recently several researchers tried to translate Tcheonzamun poem through Korean pronunciation of Chinese characters (Kim, 2023) and on the basis of the meaning of Chinese characters on Korean grammar (Park et al., 2021). And those researchers assumed that Tcheonzamun was created by Korean language-speaking people (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). On the present study, the translation was done through the meaning of Chinese characters on Tcheonzamun (Park et al., 2021). Somewhat old Tcheonzamun book was utilized for the present study (Han, 1583). The thousand character essay is called in Korea as Tcheonzamun (Han, 1583). This present work concerns the translation of a Tcheonzamun poem of (Tcheonzamun 401st-416th). The title of this study is ‘My husband! There are(邑) a lot of good(華) and splendid(夏) things in front of you! My husband! Don’t you want to take all of these things(都)? (Tcheonzamun 401st-416th)’ The next is the result of the present study. <Number in Tcheonzamun(the thousand character essay). Chinese character (Pronunciation shown in Korean language on English alphabet)>. 401-404 堅(Gyeon) 持(Zi) 雅(A) 操(Zo). My husband! You often said to me “Are you going to live righteously(雅操)? Your decision(堅持) is enough to do such a formidable life! It is sufficient to live well with your decision!” 405-408 好(Ho) 爵(Zag) 自(Za) 縻(Mi). My husband! No, it is not! The life is not so simple! My husband! Don’t you have your pride?(好爵) Don’t you have strong desire(自縻) to be superior to other persons? 409-412 都(Do) 邑(Eub) 華(Hwa) 夏(Ha). My husband! There are(邑) a lot of good(華) and splendid(夏) things in front of you! My husband! Don’t you want to take all of these things(都)? 413-416 東(Dong) 西(Seo) 二(i) 京(Gyong). My husband!

French Missionary Dallet (1874) described the thousand character essay in his book. The thousand character essay is called as Tcheonzamun (千字文) in Korea (Han, 1583). The method in the present study is ‘the analyze or the deletion of Chinese characters’ (Kim, 2023). The translation of Tcheonzamun was done on the meaning of Chinese character on Tcheonzamun (Park et al., 2021). The deletion occurs usually between the different Chinese characters (Kim, 2023). However, some times the deletion occurs on the same Chinese character. On the case [ ] marks were used in order to show the deletion on the same Chinese character. The Chinese characters were referred on the somewhat old Tcheonzamun book (Han, 1583). The title of this study is ‘My husband! Do you want for the time to flow slow(西) and slow again(十)? It is possible when you (my husband) and me (your wife), the two persons(二) ensemble, will protect(亠) together the time to pass away so swiftly! (Tcheonzamun 401st-416th)’. There are two repetitions for each line of this poem. It is in order to compare the original notes and the deleted ones.

French Missionary Dallet (1874) described that the thousand character essay is the greatly valuable book. In Korea, this book is called as Tcheonzamun (Han, 1583). Both Chinese people and Korean people have used this book for long time (Dallet, 1874). There are two species of Tcheonzamun translation. One is on the basis of Chinese grammar (Han, 1583). The other is on Korean grammar (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). The order of these two languages is opposite, and the translation must be different. On the present work, the translation was done on Korean grammar (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). On the present work, the deleting method was used (Kim, 2023). It is the method transformed from Park et al., (2021). This method is also called as the analyze of Chinese character. Same or similar part of Chinese character on the same line of 4 letters was deleted. Sometimes, this deletion occurred on the same letter. In this case, the mark of [ ] was added. On the case of similar part, the mark of () was added. The translation was done only with the remained part or letter (Kim, 2023). The range of this study is (Tcheonzamun 513th-528th). And somewhat old book (Han, 1583) of Tcheonzamun was utilized. This work concerns the translation of a poem of the thousand character essay. The title of this study is ‘My husband!
