The New Dictionary of Korea, which is a modern dictionary, was influenced by The Kangxi Dictionary. In this paper, we chose 42 Chinese characters from The New Dictionary which includes “wrong folk characters” and “non-folk characters” in their paraphrase. Based on the statistical analysis, in The Kangxi Dictionary, there are 21 characters which include “wrong folk characters” and “non-folk characters” in their paraphrase and 19 characters which are not marked in interpretation. And there are 3 characters did not appear in The Kangxi Dictionary. By arranging the “wrong folk characters” and “non-folk characters” in the New Dictionary, we explore the origin and analysis of its causes. It is beneficial for learning compiling modes of Korean Chinese dictionaries and the inheritance and variation of modern Chinese characters during the propagation process in other countries.

The variants of references in dictionary reflect many characteristics of particular regions and era. These variants are also the key points to the research of characters’ dissemination and application. This paper based on the Access of xinzidian, reorganized all the references to Liji, and then made a comparison between the references and Liji. As a result, we found 100 variants, and summarized them as five types.　Then on this basis, we attempt to discuss the features and laws of Korea’s characters.
