Abstract: French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that the thousand character essay had been utilized for truly long time as the textbook of Chinese characters for teaching their children. For the present researchers it is interesting why Dallet (1874) selected this Tcheonzamun (in Korea, it is called as ‘Tcheonzamun’) for introducing Chinese character among a lot of books. Apparently, it is not reasonable to translate the Tcheonzamun poem on the basis of Korean pronunciation of Chinese characters. Because the thousand character essay (Tcheonzamun) seemed to be created by Chinese people (Han, 1583). However, it is found that Tcheonzamun poem might be translated on Korean grammar (Park et al., 2021) and on Korean pronunciation (Kim, 2023). The present work is through Korean pronunciation of Chinese character on Tcheonzamun (Kim, 2023). The range of this poem is (Tcheonzamun 977th-992nd). The title of this work is ‘My mother Bohwa Maria has protected Hyeonhi her daughter in-law! (Tcheonzamun 977th-992nd)’. The theme of this research is as follows. 985-988 孤(Ko) 陋(Lu) 寡(Kwa) 聞(Mun). 고루 가믄. Kolu Gamun. The wife! If the behavior of your husband is (Gamun) well balanced (Kolu). 989-992 愚(Woo) 蒙(Mong) 等(Deung) 誚(Tcho). 맘에 들죠! Mam-e Deul-zyo! The wife! Your mind (Mam-e) will be glad! (Deul-zyo!) My mother Bohwa Maria has protected Hyeonhi her daughter in-law!.
