As a member of the faculty of Sang Myung Women's University, I deem it a great honor for me to contribute an article in the university collection of scholarly theses, and so, to utilize this opportunity, the writer is submitting a summary of a study entitled “Ancient Korea and Ancient Japanese Culture in relation to the study of Chinese Writing.”
The writer verifies this theses in the ancient bibliographies which were compared and contrasted with the three countries of Korea, China and Japan.
Though the other theses, the writer has examined the pronounciation, the ideographs and the usage of Chinese characters, and I can conclude that Korean culture in every respect has exerted a beneficial influence upon Japanese culture, that is, ancient Korea had initiated a great culture, the inscription technique, to Japan, and not a simple material civilization.
The inscriptions of the ancient Japanese language, which means Chinese characters, was not imported directly from China into Japans and the letters which for the first time had been assimilated, fixed and developed in Korea was passed on to Japan, I think, and I deem that the deliverers of the culture were naturalized citizens from Korea living in Japan.
For that reason, without this passage of this culture from Korea, it would have been impossible for them to edit the “Gosagi and Manyeop collection of writings” in Japanese classical literature and to develop their proper literature.
Until now, the above thesis is not officially recognized as an established theory in the academic world, but theoretically is perfectly logical, and so I shall be happy to be of any service to you in studying the Chinese pronounciation of ancient Korea and ancient Japanese.
