French Missionary Dallet (1874) described that the thousand character essay was well used both in Korea and in China for long time, and it was utilized for Chinese characters for their children. The thousand character essay is called as Tcheonzamun (千字文) in Korea (Han, 1583). Which is the most important thing in our life? Tcheonzamun author(s) thought that it is the love between the husband and the wife in the family (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). In the present work, the subject of the love in the marriage life will be studied. The thousand character essay is called in Korea as Tcheonzamun (Han, 1583). The textbook of this work was somewhat old (Han, 1583). The range of the present study is of (Tcheonzamun 065th-080th). The translation of Tcheonzamun was done on the deletion method (Kim, 2023). The mark of [ ] shows the deletion of the same parts or that of the similar parts on the same Chinese character. The mark of ( ) indicates the deletion of the similar parts among the different Chinese characters on the same line. Here, the line is, for example, (065-068 海(Hae) 鹹(Ham) 河(Ha) 淡(Dam)). This study concerns the translation of Tcheonzamun poem. The title of this study is ‘My husband! Are you going to make me (your wife) to say(曰) freely? When the fish(魚) takes the sufficient water(氵), the fish will feel so good! My husband! Give the energy to me who is really mild, and I shall be the kind wife as a sheep(羊) with wings(羽) (鱗(Lin) 潛(Zam) 羽(Wu) 翔(Sang)) (Tcheonzamun 065th-080th)’. <Number in Tcheonzamun(the thousand character essay).

French Missionary Dallet (1874) described that the thousand character essay has been used as a textbook for the children for learning Chinese characters in China and in Korea. The thousand character essay is called in Korea as Tcheonzamun (Han, 1583). The translation has been done mainly on Chinese grammar (Han, 1583). Recently, several researchers tried to translate it on Korean grammar (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). The present study will be done on Korean grammar. The range of this work is of (Tcheonzamun 209th-224th). Somewhat old Tcheonzamun book was used for this study (Han, 1583). The present method for this translation was the deleting one (Kim, 2023). The mark of [ ] shows the deletion of the same or the similar part on the same Chinese character. And the mark of ( ) indicates the deletion of similar part. The translation was done only on the remained part(s) of Chinese characters on Tcheonzamun. The present study concerns the translation of Tcheonzamun poem. The title of this study is ‘Hyeonhi says to me. “My husband Augustin! Do you want to do the formidable(丿) defense from the enemy(亠)? Let’s respect(一) the great persons(主) of our family!”(形(Hyeong) 端(Dan) 表(Pyo) 正(Zeong)) “Thank you mother Bohwa Maria and father Ilsoo Joseph!” (Tcheonzamun 209th-224th)’. The next is the result of the translation of Tcheonzamun poem. There are two replications of each line(four Chinese characters). It is in order to compare the original Chinese character with the deleted one. <Number in Tcheonzamun(the thousand character essay).

French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that the thousand character essay has been used as the textbook for the Chinese character for the children both in China and in Korea. The thousand character essay is called as Tcheonzamun (千字文) in Korea (Han, 1583). Traditionally, Tcheonzamun was translated on Chinese grammar (Han, 1583). Recently, several researchers tried to translate Tcheonzamun poem on Korean grammar (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). The present translating research was carried out on Korean grammar. The thousand character essay is called in Korea as Tcheonzamun (Han, 1583). On the viewpoint of translation on Korean grammar, there are three methods. The first translating method is on the meaning of Chinese character on Tcheonzamun (Park et al., 2021). The second one is through the Korean pronunciation of Chinese character on Tcheonzamun (Kim, 2023). Third method is the deleting method (Kim and Park, 2026). The method of the present study is the third method. The range of this study is (Tcheonzamun 225th-240th). The book used in the present study is somewhat old one (Han, 1583). The mark of ( ) shows the deletion of similar part, and the mark of [ ] indicates the deletion on the same Chinese character. The translation was done only with the remained part(s) Chinese character. This work concerns the translation of Tcheonzamun poem on the deletion method (Kim and Park, 2026). The title of this study is ‘“My Lord Jesus! If we want to decrease(寸) our unhappy condition(陰), our conversation(曰) must be increased up to the heaven(疋)!” (寸(Tchon) 陰(Eum) 是(Si) 競(Gyeong)). “Thank you very much, Father Yeonghag and Mother Hilye Sarah!” (Tcheonzamun 225th-240th)’. There are two replications of each line of four letters. It is in order to compare the original Chinese character with the deleted form of the Chinese character. <Number in Tcheonzamun(the thousand character essay). Chinese character (Pronunciation shown in Korean language on English alphabet).> 225-228 禍(Hwa) 因(In) 惡(Ag) 積(Zeog). 225-228 禍(Hwa)-冂-冂-示-丶=口. 因(In)-⊃(冂)-冂=一. 惡(Ag)-亞=心. 積(Zeog)-禾(示)-丶-目丿(亞)=主.
