PREFACE
This book is designed for those who are eager to learn the written Korean language and acquire a basic working ability to read and write it in their everyday communication. Pictorial Sino-Korean Characters performs various aids for writing Korean, particularly the Sino-Korean characters known as Hancha. In 1972, some 1,800 characters were prescribed by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea and adopted by law as those most effective and essential for common use. These are here given with their origin, etymology, history, classification and signification. Each character is accompanied by a chart demonstrating the proper way to write it and pictographs. This is a purely practical guide for students of Korean to help them understand Sino-Korean and the Korean language wisely. While teaching a t the Defense Language Institute in California, I had the difficult experience of trying to alleviate the frustrations and mental blocks which would develop in students who were having trouble picking up Sino-Korean characters. I have proposed a pedagogic strategy that is based on the use of that which is appropriately relevant. The characters were selected on the basis of the frequency of their appearance in modern writings. The McCune-Reischauer romanization is based on an attempt to use common English values of letters to represent Korean sounds in terms of the raw impressions they make on an Amerby 4xdYade-Giles ican ear. This s y s - a r a " # romanization of Chinese and the Hepburn romanization of 3apanese. I have followed the McCune-Reischauer system with

?% (heat) = ?!
The characters used in writing Sino-Korean originally came from China. However, we are dealing with them only in so far as they form part of the Korean language. Chinese characters have a long history, the earliest discovered writings having been dated from about 14th century B. C. (F@%Oracle bones, chia-ku wen). In 100 A. D. during the Han dynasty, this was modified by Hsu Sheng(R@, 30124 A.
D.
) in his 15-volume paleographical work, Shuo-wen Chieh-
or the explanation of writing and analysis of words. I t lists 9,353 characters under 540 radical entries. Of this number, 364 were pictographic, 125 simple ideographic, 1,167 compound ideographic and 7,697 phonetic compounds. The most complete collection is the Kang Hsi Dictionary(@ fFFiT$&) with about 50,000 characters of the Ching dynasty (#) , done in 1716. Since 1949, after the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the government had actively pursued language reform until the Cultural Revolution, 1966-76. They changed and simplified the characters from original letters. Variants tzu(W*f#T)

Many theories have been advanced since the end of the 19th century about the affinities of the Japanese linguists have classified Japanese with the language of bouring areas, such as Ryukyuan, Ainu, others have grouped i t with Chinese, Tibetan, Burmese, Altaic, Malayan, and Polynesian. Still others Japanese is related to Greek, but this theory I accepted. This is only natural as Chinese culture has been disseminated widely and deeply. Four kinds of writing systems are used in Japanese: Kanji (Chinese c h a r a c t e r s Hiragana and Katakana ( two- phonetic--. Romaji - . " - (the Roman alphabet). Chinese characsyllabaries) and -.-"_%rs and Hiragana are used for the expression of all except words not of Chinese origin, which are expressed by Katakana. The more complicated type is known as the Kanji. The Kanji serves generally to represent the principal words of specimen of writing in the Japanese language, and thus express the nouns, pronouns, nominalizers, and numbers. Also they are utilized in the roots of adjectives, verbs, and adverbs. The simpler type of characters is known a s Kana. This takes two forms, the Hiragana, which are relatively cursive in appearance, and the Katakana, which are relatively angular. In fact, the Japanese language contains a large v ~ c a b u l a r y ~ based on the Chinese language. According t o The Vocabular . and Chinese Characters in Ninety Magazinevof Today (vol 111)-the analysis of the resilts p u k r b y The Nation Language Research Institute, the percentage of the vocabula based on the Chinese is 41.3% of the total number.

Introduction
The Japanese began to write their language, which they had known only as speech, when contact with Korea and China resulted in the importation of Chinese characters. This contact dates as far back as the first century A. D. Towards the end of third century, two Korean scholars; Wang I n ( E C , Wa-ni in Japanese) and A j i k k i ( m B @ ) of Paekche dynasty came over to Japan and acted a s teachers. A Paekche ,Sinulogist, Wang In is said to have presented a copy of the Ch'dnjarnun(Tf ft, Ch'ien-tzu Wen in Chinesen --One Thousand Character Classic, and 10 copies of Uie-l\jon~ (;&%, Lun yu in Chinese) a s a tribute to the Emperor Ojin(@ @I).

3. Kanji Education in Japan In Japanese also, they adopted the Chinese characters which
I
21
they call Kanji(Chinese letters). The basic number of Kanji for general use taught to all Japanese school children is 1,850. In 1951, The Ministry of Education found it necessary to supplement the list of 1,850 characters with a list of 92 characters approved for use in personal names. By 1977, the number had increased to 1,950 basic characters, to be taught in grammar schools and up through high schools. Since that time, the regulation has generally been observed in documents published by the government, in institutions of public education, in newspapers and magazines, etc. So, most publications and documents can be read with a knowledge of T6y6Kanji (the Kanji for daily use). In addition, both the Tby6-Kanji and the Kyoiku-Kanji (the educational Kanji) have been revised a little on the basis of research on the actual use of Kanji. However, Kanji are not so easy for Japanese students, either. They study Kanji for six years a t elementaryschool, for three years a t secondary school, and for three years a t high , I school-a total of twelve years. Even so, there are rather ---- few -who can read and all of the b-Kxwithout - - -write --- . _ -_ 1950- -T b- ymistakes when they -. -- enter _ --_--the - university. -Scholar E. Reischauer, the former American ambassador to Japan, once lamented that the Japanese language could not be mastered. If so, one of the reasons would certainly be the difficulties of learning Kanji.

4. The Combination Writing in Korean The time of the importation of the Chinese writing system to Korea is uncertain. At least by the time of the warring states (403-221 B. c. ) , the existence of a Chinese writing system became known to Korea through Chinese itinerants and bmigrCs.
22
The difficulty the Koreans encountered in adapting the writing system of China is seen from the various methods of writing used in Korea prior to the invention of the alphabet by Sejong in 1443. The first writings by Koreans were in ordinary Chinese. Despite the early contact with the Chinese script, the earliest securely dated inscription de that writing was used .-.The writing is on a by the Koreans comes from *---.I___ lXI-anggaet'o of Kogury6 monument erected in honor "

5. The Features of Sino-Korean
The Chinese characters are called Hantzu in Chinese, Hancha in Korean, and Kanji in Japanese, all meaning "Han characters (&+I. " These characters are used exclusively in Chinese writings, and in combination with the Han-gBI alphabet in Korea and with the Kana syllabaries in Japan. The Sino-Korean (Hancha), in written form, is a combination of three major elements: pictograms, ideograms and phonograms.
