《文字蒙求》의 한자 교학법 연구와 고대 한자 자료를 이용한 오류 수정

Abstract

China, which has a long tradition of letter, has continued to compile and publish many textbooks on literacy from ancient times. The main subject of this study is 《Wenzimengqiu》, which was written by Wang Yun during the Qing Dynasty, one of those textbooks. Wang Yun, the author of this book, made outstanding achievements in 《Shuowenjiezi》 and the study of Chinese characters. That is why posterity regarded Wang Yun as one of the four masters in the study of 《Shuowenjiezi》. Remarkably, he was the only person who was devoted to literacy education among the four masters of 《Shuowenjiezi》. In particular, 《Wenzimengqiu》 written by him has been highly praised by later scholars. Wang Yun’s works have been studied widely and in depth, reflecting his academic achievements. However, most of them have been conducted on 《Shuowenshili》 and 《Shuowenjudou》, and relatively little study has been devoted to 《Wenzimengqiu》. Thus, this study described the value of Wang Yun’s 《Wenzimengqiu》 and introduced Chinese character teaching method which can be referenced and utilized in today’s Chinese character education. Further, this study corrected some errors in the analysis on the source of Chinse characters shown in 《Wenzimengqiu》, based on the materials on ancient Chinese characters which were excavated.
