Abstract: French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that the thousand character essay has been utilized both in China and in Korea. In Korea, the thousand character essay is called as Tcheonzamun (Han, 1583). Dallet (1874) introduced the Tcheonzamun book into the Western World. It is firmly believed that Tcheonzamun was created by Chinese people, and the translation was also carried out on Chinese grammar (Han, 1583). However, several researchers tried to translate Tcheonzamun poem on Korean pronunciation of Chinese character on Tcheonzamun (Kim, 2023) and on the meaning of Chinese character on Korean grammar (Park et al., 2021). On the present work, the researchers will try to translate the Tcheonzamun poem on the method of Park et al., (2021). The range of this study is sixteen Chinese characters of (Tcheonzamun 081st-096th). The title of this study is ‘My husband! We like the joy, the peace and the love!
