The word “dictionary” originated in China. China used to call the dictionary a “word book” which was used as a general term for the interpretation of Chinese characters, sounds, and meanings. At the beginning of the 20th century, in the era of modern China's alternating old and new cultures and Chinese and Western cultures, the social language has undergone tremendous changes, which has caused obstacles to the reading of the people and has also seriously affected academic research. In almost the same period, the Korean peninsula, which borders China, has also abolished the status of Chinese characters as an orthodox script under the influence of Japanese colonial rule. In the context of a similar era in which the culture of the country is influenced by foreign cultures, the “New Dictionary” and the “New Dictionary” of the Republic of Korea should be born on time. Both are compiled on the basis of the “Kangxi Dictionary” to comply with the new situation and new Form, hence the name of the "new dictionary." The characters in the two “The New Dictionary” are mostly the same, but there are also some characters in them, which are different because of factors such as referral and transmission. This article starts with the differences between the Chinese characters in the Chinese and Korean New Dictionaries and uses the Chinese character configuration theory to classify the differences in the shape of the characters and to trace the origin of the characters, combining ancient Chinese characters such as Oracle, Bronze, and Warring States. Further analysis of the reasons for the differences in the type of characters to analyze the characteristics of Chinese and Korean dictionary compilation.

대만의 標準字體는 전통을 존중하면서 字源 및 한자의 체계성을 두루 고려하여 제정된 것으로 우리 의 표준자형 선정 작업에 있어서 倣效할 만한 바가 적지 않다. 이에 본 논문에서는 1973년 이후 대만 에서 진행된 한자자형 정리 및 標準字體 제정 과정 중 중요한 사항에 대하여 간략히 소개하고, 대만의 標準字體가 어떠한 원칙에 근거하여 제정되었는지 살펴보았다. 또한 본 논문에서는 대만 標準字體 중 에서 국내 출판물에 쓰이는 한자자형과 다른 字例를 획순에 따라 열거하고, 그 중에서 우리가 참고로 삼을 만한 字例를 셋으로 나누어 논의를 전개하였다. 첫 번째 ‘字源을 고려하여 제정된 字例’에서는 衆· 聚·毁·覇·絶·秘·者 7개 글자의 자형 문제를 다루었고, 두 번째 ‘體系性을 고려하여 제정된 字例’에서는 隣·氷·延·肝(肉旁)·恒·聖( 旁)·舌( 旁)·勇·添·風·窓·豊·汚 13개 글자의 자형 문제를 다루었다. 세 번 째 ‘書寫體와의 一致性을 고려하여 제정된 字例’에서는 氵·冫·辶·食·豕·爪·匸旁 및 北·幸·比·牙·曷·卬·免· 龜字의 활자체 문제를 다루었다.
