Chinese character writing is one of learning difficulties for Korean learners of Chinese as a second language. There are not many studies on the stroke writing of Chinese characters by Korean learners of Chinese as a second language. Based on the elementary handwritten Chinese characters in the “Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education”, this paper conducts a stroke analysis, and combines the whole-process interlanguage character database and the interlanguage text corpus of international students to conduct an investigation, and explores the problems existing in the Chinese character strokes of Korean learners of Chinese as a second language. The research results show that elementary handwritten Chinese characters with 7 strokes or less account for 60% among elementary handwritten Chinese characters, and these Chinese characters are easy for learners to acquire. The error rate of Chinese characters with 1-7 strokes is 2.8%, while the error rate of Chinese characters with 8-14 strokes is 6.4%. The error rate of Chinese characters with 8-14 strokes is significantly higher than that of Chinese characters with 1-7 strokes. This paper analyzes the causes of the writing problems and puts forward suggestions for teaching character strokes, hoping to provide effective help for teachers, thus helping to improve the Chinese character writing level of Korean learners of Chinese as a second language.

The monographic study is a targeted and in-depth study of a specific theme. It is an important supplement to the macroscopic description of general history and the microscopic analysis of individual cases, and it serves as an entry point to push the research on the history of learning deeper and more comprehensive. The theory of Chinese character studies is of utmost importance in monographic research. It plays a role in laying the theoretical foundation and defining the disciplinary connotations for the construction of the history of Chinese Grammatology. When researching the theory of Chinese Grammatology, one should “pay more attention to the overall situation and the system, and at the same time, pay attention to the connections and communication with linguistics, as well as archaeology, history, philology, cultural studies, etc., further expand the breadth and depth of the research on character studies, and establish theoretical systems of Chinese character studies with different styles, so that Chinese character studies can have its own discourse system on a world-class platform.” Western research on the theory of Chinese Grammatology involves multiple topics such as “the nature of Chinese characters” “the origin of Chinese characters” “the evolution of Chinese characters” “the ‘liushu’ Chinese Characters” “the structure of Chinese characters” “the pronunciation of Chinese characters” “the classification of Chinese characters” “the dissemination of Chinese characters” “the relationship between characters and words” and “the relationship between Chinese characters and the Chinese language.” Conducting re-research on the relevant studies of Western scholars from the perspective of academic history helps to provide an “other” perspective and a global vision for the research on the theory of Chinese Grammatology in China. This article takes the materials related to the theme of “the dissemination of Chinese characters” in Western Chinese Grammatology as the research object. Through the combination of research overviews and case analyses, it aims to gain a more in-depth understanding and recognition of the focuses, research spots, and research trends that Western scholars pay attention to when studying the dissemination of Chinese characters.

There has been a long history of concern and research on Chinese characters by Western scholars and have achieved fruitful results. According to the current construction of Western Sinology history and the development of Western Chinese Grammatology itself, the history of Western Chinese Grammatology could be divided into five periods: the germination state, the missionary period, the initial stage of specialized Chinese Grammatology in the west, the expansion period of specialized Chinese Grammatology in the west, and the peak period of specialized Chinese Grammatology in the west. The initial stage showed the tendency of specialization, disciplinarity and rationalization. The research subjects included Protestant missionaries, philosophers, politicians and linguists, etc. Systematic research results were obtained in the aspects of characters’ nature, characters’ characteristics, characters’ etymologies, characters’ analysis and characters’ phonology. Under the guidance of comparative linguistics theory, American scholar Peter S. Du Ponceau’s work A Dissertation on the Nature and Character of the Chinese System of Writing has conducted in-depth research and elaboration on the nature and characteristics of Chinese characters, which is representative. This paper attempts to take this work as a representative monograph to describe and analyze from the aspects of research content, thoughts of Chinese characters studies, research methods, academic influence and value, deficiencies and limitations, etc., giving an objective evaluation of its value in the evolution of western Chinese Grammatology in the west.

Radicals serve as the central elements in the semantics of Chinese characters, but what foundational and extended meanings do they convey? This paper examines all characters with the radical ‘目’ related to attributes, as recorded in Shuowen Jiezi and The Standard Dictionary of Chinese Characters. In Shuowen Jiezi, the ‘目’ radical encompasses four conceptual categories—physical attributes, scale, color, and value. Specific elements under these categories include physical attributes such as ‘dimness, disease, clarity, order, and dryness,’ scale including ‘size, depth, height, thickness, density,’ value comprising ‘beauty and gentleness,’ and color represented by ‘white.’ Over time, these categories have been substantially reduced, with only physical attributes, limited to ‘dimness’ and ‘disease,’ being retained in later literature. This reduction highlights that ancient Chinese vocabulary contained a broader range of conceptual and semantic elements than modern vocabulary. Additionally, synonyms associated with the attribute concept of ‘目’ have mostly disappeared, while newly introduced vocabulary shows a shift towards polysemy, indicating an evolution in lexical structure. Extended meanings have followed mechanisms such as the expansion from attribute to action, metaphorical extensions, and grammaticalization. Semantic expansion frequently shifted to perceptual verbs, while metaphorical extensions moved from ‘human to object’ and ‘action to time.’ Grammaticalization trends were also observed, extending meanings to adverbial and modal uses. These findings reveal that ancient and modern uses of the ‘目’ radical differ significantly in both meaning and conceptual application.

Chinese ancient wordbook of standard characters is a type of character book that establishes a standard style for the writing of Chinese characters. This article selects seven types of character books, including the Tang Dynasty’s Ganlu Zishu, Wujing Wenzi, Xinjia Jiujing Ziyang, the Song Dynasty’s Fugu Bian, the Yuan Dynasty’s Zi Jian, the Ming Dynasty’s Sushu Kanwu, and the Qing Dynasty’s Zengguang Zixue Juyu. Through a review and analysis of their research status, it is determined that the style of character books is mainly explored from three aspects: character collection, bibliography, and arrangement style. Chinese ancient wordbook of standard characters has the characteristics of small volume and stable quantity in the collection of characters. In terms of typography, the form of the prefix has gone through a process of typography, from typography to typography, and gradually fixed to typography; Except for the “Fugu Bian”, all fonts are in regular script and stand out; Except for the “Ganlu Zishu”, all prefix categories are listed in regular script. In terms of arrangement style, the Ganlu Zishu has had a profound impact on future generations of character books. More character books use phonetic order, and are all based on four tones, with rhyme as the main focus. The use of radical method in the “Wujing Wenzi” and “Xinjia Jiujing Ziyang” is different from the radical in the “Shuowen Jiezi” in terms of the number, form, and order of radicals, mainly reflecting the trend of radical function transformation from structure to character inspection.

To transform old words into new words is a very efficient mode of word derivation in contemporary Chinese, which mainly involves the transformation of word form and the transformation of meaning. In the process of transforming the old words language users have created a lot of new words that are very novel in form or meaning based on the relationship between Chinese characters in terms of sound, shape and meaning or the structural features of Chinese characters. This paper lists more than 130 new appellations including sound-based words, form-based words, meaning-based words and words produced by changing the structure of Chinese characters, names the ways how old words transform into new words as JieYinFuXing, XieYinFuYi, BieJieFuYi, FanBeiFuYi, GaiZiBianXing and describes the transformation process of these words. These lexical phenomenons reflect some language psychology such as pursuing new differences, playing jokes and mental association. They have some impacts on the lexical system of contemporary Chinese as they open up new ways for the generation and change of contemporary Chinese words, they supplement the word-making methods and lead to some unconventional combinations in contemporary Chinese lexis. This paper intends to further clarify the important role of Chinese characters in word creation and word development, and deepen the understanding of Chinese Character study and contemporary Chinese lexicology.

The Tay people are the ethnic minorities with the largest population in Viet Nam, mainly distributed in the Northern Uplands and Midlands, mostly concentrated in the provinces of Cao Bang, Lang Son, Tuyen Quang and Ha Giang. Over the long history of development, along with the development and improvement of their language, the Tay people have gradually created a type of writing system using the graphic, phonetic, and meaning elements of Chinese characters in combination with indigenous phonetic and linguistic elements, to create the system that is called the Nom-Tay scripts or the Nom script of the Tay ethnic group. Traditional Tay literature is mainly recorded in this Nom - Tay script. The article reliesupon the texts that belong to the genre of narrative poetry (in this genre, a story is written as a long poem) written in Nom - Tay- the most significant part of the written classical folk literature of the Tay ethnic group. Materials from the texts, currently stored at the Institute of Sino - Nom Studies (Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences), will be used to conduct an analysis of the usage and the method of writing of the Chinese characters in these texts. Thereby, the article strives to confirm the important role and the ample appearance of the Chinese characters in VietnameseNom- Tay texts.

The Chinese and English Instructor, compiled by T‘ong Ting-kü and published in Canton in 1862, is an English teaching material that utilized many newly-created Chinese characters to phonetically express the pronunciations of English words which were difficult to express with pre-existing Cantonese sounds. These characters featured an existing glyph and a pseudo radical ‘mouth’ 口, such as, 呷, composed of 甲 and 口. The explanatory notes at the beginning of this book listed many such characters. This study investigates the phonological effects of the addition of this component, focusing on the newly-created characters with the mid front unrounded vowel /e/ as their main vowel. The results showed that the values of certain parts of the syllable changed by regularly adding the pseudo radical ‘mouth’ to the existing glyph. It was observed that besides the vowel shift occurring in the main vowel in almost all groups, tone alternation occurred in most groups as well.

본고는 2015 개정 교육과정에서 추구하는 창의융합형 인재 양성을 목표로 하여 진행된 연계⋅융합 수업의 한문과 수업 실천 사례이다. 평소 연계⋅융합 수업에서 배제되거나 도구적 역할에 머물렀던 한문과의 연계⋅융합 수업의 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 실험적으로 시도된 것이다. 자칫 특정 교과에 치우친 주제로 인식될 수 있는 민주시민교육이라는 영역에서 ‘민주주의와 참여’라는 주제로 한국사⋅통합사회 교과와 함께 연계⋅융합 수업을 진행하였다. 민주시민교육에서 추구하는 민주시민으로서의 자질과 역량을 한문과 인성역량과 연결하여 수업의 목표로 삼고, ‘한문과 인성’ 영역의 성취기준에 맞추어 과정형평가가 이루어질 수 있는 수업으로 설계하였다. 과정형평가의 수행과 분절된 교육활동을 하나로 연결하기 위해 ‘교육과정-수업-평가- 기록’을 일체화하여 수업을 진행하였다. 이는 수업의 중심을 교사에서 학생으로 이동시켜 학생들이 삶의 주체로 성장할 수 있게 돕기 위한 것이다.

본 논문은 초등학교 한자교육의 중심을 어휘 교육으로 파악하고 초등학교 어휘 교육 과정에 필요한 字數(즉 字量)와 字種(즉 한자의 종류)을 제안하는 것을 중심 목표로 삼는다. 필자의 기존 연구 ｢초등학교 한자교육에 필요한 적정 한자 수 및 한자 선정에 대한 검토｣에서는 김한샘(2009)과 ㈜낱말 어휘 정보처리 연구소의 데이터 등을 추가적으로 활용하여 ‘초등학교용 교육용 한자’의 선정안을 제시하였다. 구체 논의 과정에서는 초등학교 교과서라는 말뭉치, 등급별 어휘라는 어휘 평정, 조어력, 전문가의 판단 등을 고려해 초등학교 한자교육에 필요한 적정 한자 수 및 한자 선정에 대한 논의를 펼쳤다. 이 중 ‘초등학교 교과서’라는 말뭉치는 그동안 단순 빈도의 측면에서만 이용되었던 것이고, 등급별 어휘와 조어력은 초등학교 교육용 적정 한자 수 선정 시 학계에 처음으로 고려된 것이다. 기존 연구가 이상의 성과가 있었지만 여전히 한계가 있었다. 그것은 바로 초등학교 한자 교과서를 연구 범위에 포함하지 않음으로써 실제 교육 현장을 중시하지 못했다는 점이다. 이번 연구는 현행 초등학교 한자 교과서 중 6권으로 구성된, 8종을 대상으로 연구를 진행함으로써 기존의 연구를 보완, 확대하고자 하였다. 그 결과 초등학교 한자교육에 기본적으로 필요한 548자를 선정하여 그 목록을 제시하였고 아울러 어휘 교육에서 요긴하게 활용될 수 있는 조어력이 높은 한자 75자를 추가하였다. 이상의 623자가 향후 초등학교 한자 교육에 있어 일정한 참고가 되기를 바라며, 추후 학계의 보완 연구가 진행되기를 기대한다.

In this study, the historical process of the Chinese characters was briefly summarized in Korea based on prior research to date. It also analyzed the current status of Chinese characters’ use in Korea, and based on this, it presented prospects and challenges for the future. The process of acceptance and development of early Chinese characters in Korea has changed from the invention and enlightenment period of Hangul and the two periods From the period before the creation of Hunminjeongeum to the period of the Three Kingdoms Period, the Unified Silla Period, and the early Joseon Dynasty, Chinese characters were common characters, and there was a significant gap from the words used by Koreans at that time. In an attempt to narrow the gap even a little, a number of techniques such as Idu (吏讀), Kugyol(口訣), Hyangchal (鄉札) have emerged. Even after the creation of Hunminjeongeum, the official writing system was still Chinese for the ruling class, and most of the writing life, except in special cases, progressed to Chinese characters. Also, Idu or Kugyol continued even after the creation of Hunminjeongeum. The period of modern Korean language from the beginning of the Japanese colonial period, when the various conceptual and technical words of the West flowed from the outside, and the Japanese colonial period that failed to use Hangul, was also an important turning point in the formation and development of Chinese characters and Chinese characters. This is not only a very important period in the formation and development of Chinese characters and Chinese characters, but also a transitional period. Not only were many Japanese translations and conceptual words poured in, but they also had to learn Japanese words and writings instead of Korean words and writings. After Korea’s liberation from Japan’s colonial rule, it has led to the appearance of today’s Korean language after much effort, including studying Hangul in earnest and devising language policies. In this process, Chinese characters and Chinese characters have become increasingly hidden or marked in Korean and Korean, and with the presence of Chinese characters in the large context of Korean, the perception of Chinese characters and Chinese characters is gradually disappearing. In the present situation where Chinese characters, Chinese characters, and Chinese character education are extremely limited, simply claiming the current status or importance of Chinese character education can be seen as a return to the past or an outdated empty discussion. Therefore, the problems of using and educating Chinese characters and Chinese characters need to be addressed with strategic and practical problems, reflecting the language reality of Korea now, not just the matter of the party satellite. In addition, there is a future of Chinese characters in Korea when they are developed in a modern sense by making good use of their merits, such as Ideographic, economic, and connotation.

The history of the spread and development of Chinese characters in Korea is very long. Chinese characters were introduced into the Korean peninsula as early as in the period from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms (A.D. 3C). Until the end of the 19th century, Chinese characters were the official writing system in Korea. The Korean peninsula has a history of using Chinese characters for over 1,500 years. It has an incomparably rich collection of ancient texts and documents written with Chinese characters. Of them are a considerable number of stone carvings that authentically recorded the profound literacy of the Korean people in the Middle Ages as far as the culture of Chinese characters is concerned. At the same time, these stone carvings are also of valuable reference for the developmental transformations and the configurational patterns since the formation of the clerical script, through the Wei-Jin period, the Sui and the Tan dynasties, and all the way through modern times. The present study takes as an example of the stone tablet of Master Chinkam Sŏnsa of the Silla era collected in Korean Grand Compendium of Ancient Inscriptions published by the Korean Studies Institute. I specifically summarized and analyzed the alternative script of ancient Chinese characters in the Korean stone carvings. I found out that there are characters written with different strokes or in a different internal structure, those which have been simplified, those which some parts have been added to or subtracted from, and those with a different position. Then I explored the formation and the developmental trajectory of individual variant forms of a Chinese character. Thus, I grasped the reasons for the formation of the variant Chinese characters in Korean ancient stone carvings as well as their writing characteristics.

본 논문은 非目的语의 환경에서 베트남의 한어학습자들을 대상으로 하여, 지필 테스트(paperand- pencil test) 방식으로 그들의 한자 형방 인식의 발전 과정에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 베트남 한어학습자들이 초·중급 단계에 있을 때 여전히 스스로 형방을 인식하지 못하였으나 고급 단계에 진입한 후 형방을 비교적 스스로 인식할 수 있게 되었다. 체계적인 한자 이론 지식 교육은 학습자들이 한자 형성자의 형방에 대한 인식과 그 발전에 도움이 되었다. 중국 유학생들과 비교 연구를 통하여 본 논문은 서로 다른 언어 학습 환경에서 학습자들이 형성자들을 인식하는 데 있어서도 서로 다른 발전 양상이 있음을 발견할 수 있었다.

This paper summarizes the current research situation of the characters used in Chinese dialects. It is considered that the research features of the characters used in Chinese dialects are mainly manifested in three aspects: the universality of the subjects, the diversity of materials, and the long time and space. Furthermore, future research on the characters used in Chinese dialects prospects from the materials, theories, methods, and perspectives of the research.

한국어문회 한자능력검점시험 7급에 배정된 한자 150자를 漢字構形學 이론에 근거하여 분석한 결과는 아래와 같다. 150자 안에는 層次조합의 글자가 14자가 포함되어 있고, 6개 構形모델이 존재한다. 이 構形모델 안에는 構形理據가 희박한 3, 4등급의 記號字가 23자 포함되어 있다. 이는 난이도가 높은 한자가 초급단계에 배정되어 초급자의 한자학습을 어렵게 한다는 의미이다. 150자를 直接構件과 基礎構件으로 귀납하면 直接構件 총 수량은 149개이고, 基礎構件의 총수량은 141개이다. 이외에 基礎構件에는 12개의 變體構件이 존재하는데 이를 합치면 153개의 構件이 150자를 구성하고 있는 셈이다. 모든 한자의 基礎構件이 400여 개임을 감안하면 한국어문회 한자능력검정시험 7급 150자의 基礎構件 141개는 상대적으로 그 비중이 너무 높다고 할 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라 141개의 基礎構件 안에는 構件 하나로 글자를 만들 수 없는 非字構件이 28개이다. 이는 한국어문회 한자능력검정시험 7급 한자의 배정이 자형 난이도에 따른 과학적인 분석에 근거되지 않았다는 증거이다. 이러한 배정은 초급자의 한자학습에 상당한 부담으로 작용할 수 있다.

인명용 한자는 가족관계등록법에 의거 등록 대상인 본명인 관명의 이름자에 사용할 수 있는 한자이다. 1991년 1월 1일 2,731자를 대법원에서 선정하여 최초 시행한 후 2-3년에 한 번씩 9차례 추가하여 2015년 1월 1일부터 8,142자가 되었다. 언론 보도를 보면 인명용 한자의 제한은 성명권 침해이므로 부적정하고, 범위는 확대해야 하며, 포함된 유의문자는 제외해야 된다는 논란이 시행과 더불어 계속되고 있다. 그러나 성명학계는 제한에 관심이 없고 유의문자에만 관심을 갖고 있어서 개선 의지가 약하다. 대법원은 어려운 한자가 불편하고 전산화에도 장애이며, 선정된 인명용 한자 8,142자가 작지도 않지만 확대 중이 라며 개선에 부정적이다. 또한 헌법재판소의 인명용 한자 합헌 결정에서 알 수 있듯이 제한을 없애는 것은 아직 시기도 성숙되지 않았다. 하지만 행정 편의를 위해서 성명권을 침해하고 국민의 불편을 야기하는 것은 문제가 있으므로 인명용 한자 제한과 범위 협소, 유의문자는 개선해야 한다. 종국적으로 모든 한자를 이름자로 사용할 수 있도록 성명권을 보장해야 하지만, 이에 부정적인 대법원의 견해도 적정하므로 다음 세 가지 사항을 단계별로 진행할 것을 제언한다. 첫째, 모든 관련자가 참여하여 인명용 한자의 정책 전반적인 개선을 다루는 대법원 소속의 위원회를 구성하여야 한다. 둘째, 인명용 한자에 포함된 유의문자를 제외하거나 최소한 인식할 수 있도록 공시해야 한다. 셋째, 충분한 검토와 논의로 논란을 예방하면서 범위를 추가 확대한 후, 종국적으로 인명용 한자의 제한을 없애야 한다.

본고는 2009 개정 중학교 한문 교과서의 자원학습 실태를 분석한 것이다. 본고의 목적은 2009 개정 중학교 한문 교과서의 자원 학습 제시 실태 및 내용을 분석하고, 그 문제점을 살핀 후, 향후 교과서 집필 시 참고할 수 있도록 제언하는 것이다. 분석결과, 교과서에 제시된 자원학습은 자원 학습의 효율성을 반영하기 위한 것이라기보다는 단순히 교육과정의 내용요소를 담고 있기 위해, 교과서의 시각적 효과를 살리기 위해, 혹은 교육용 기초한자 900자를 교과서에 실기 위한 목적으로 ‘자원 한자’ 라는 영역을 제시하고 있다는 문제점을 발견 할 수 있었다. 또한 자원 풀이 내용에 있어서도 체계적인 기준 없이 교과서 집필자들의 자의적, 임의적 의견으로 자원 한자를 선정하거나 편의적이고 개성적인 설명에 의한 시중의 참고도서를 그대로 교과서에 반영한 경우도 찾아 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 상황 속에서 자원을 활용한 한자학습이 체계적으로 이루어지기 어려울 것이다. 한문이라 는 과목은 국가가 제시한 교육과정 내에 존재하는 과목이다. 그렇기에 ‘공교육’ 이라는 측면에서 교사가 학습자에게 전달하는 교육 내용은 균질성을 확보해야 한다. 따라서 교과서 집필자들은 최근 의 자원 연구 성과를 반영하여, 학리적 검토 위에 과학적이면서도 체계적인 자원 한자 학습이 이루어질 수 있도록 힘써야 할 것이다.

Chinese characters are one of the longest-running text in the world, which has not been abolished so far. East Asian countries, especially Northeast Asia, are inextricably linked by Chinese characters. Moreover, Chinese characters has been the Korean people’s writing system in the past two thousand years. Therefore, Chinese Character is an important component in Korean language. Korean vocabulary incluedes two systems, that is, original Korean vocabulary and Sino-Korean vocabulary. Original Korean is the vocabulary that used by Korean people for thousands of years. Sino-Korean is the vocabulary that borrowed from Chinese and Japanese words created by Chinese characters. In Korea, many scholars have carried out a detailed analysis and deep research about Chinese Characters. On the basis of the previous scholars’ research, this paper makes a preliminary study on the usage and status of Chinese characters in Korea, in view of the present situation of Korea. The first section pointed out the research background, purpose and method of this paper; the second section have reviewed results of previous studies and the process of Chinese Character’s education. Moreover, the status of Chinese Characters in Korea will be described; the third section focused on the usage and countermeasures of Chinese characters; Finally, the result of this paper has been summarized in the last section
