This thesis aims to undertake a more comprehension about Korean classifiers which are written in Chinese Characters (Hanja). As we know, Chinese characters in Korean are almost borrowed from Chinese. So it is always conjectured that certain Korean Hanja classifiers are affected by those same Chinese classifiers. So, this thesis makes a comparison of Korean Hanja classifiers with the use of classifiers in Chinese. And, the result is that the use of some classifiers in the two languages are the same, and some are different, and some are similar but not the same totally. 1. classifiers in the same use 名, 頭, 尾, 部(동물), 匹, 具, 片, 投, 首(시나 노래 등), 篇, 幅(그림 등), 間, 棟, 座, 台, 輛, 束, 組, 帙, 貼, 匣, 甁, 箱子, 桶 ? 發 放 → 27개 2. classifiers in different use 首(닭, 오리), 位, 卷, 枚, 本, 門, 張(의복), 着, 幅(모양), 卷(집체), 級, 封, 劑, 軸, 封, 紙, 沙, 鉢, 番 → 17개 3. classifiers in similar but not the same totally 株, 曲, 部(책, 신문 등), 通(편지, 전보 등), 隻, 張(모양), 件, 個, 點, 對, 雙, 通→ 13개
