한국 20세기의 한문교육과 그 당면과제 - 표기법 문제와 관련하여

Abstract

In pre-modern era, Korean used Classical Chinese, the universal language of East Asia as the primary literary language, and Hangul, own alphabet, only as the secondary one. In the beginning of 20th century, this situation was reversed; the former was used as the secondary, and the latter as the primary. As a result, under the transformation of the cultural condition, Classical Chinese has been the central issue of the language planning in the 20th century of Korea, which has influenced Classical Chinese education in the crucial point. I reviewed historical condition of Classical Chinese education, and, in East Asian perspective, Classical Chinese cultural circle in this essay. In conclusion, I proposed the standard of Classical Chinese character and the common text under the cooperation with other Classical Chinese cultural circle, Japan and China. This essay was presented in the symposium, the Current Situation and the Issue of Classical Chinese Culture in East Asia, held in Japan.
