Personality education is becoming the theme of education throughout the world. Korea has praised those with upright characters as saints and man of virtue from old days and presented them as a desirable human character. It is the Chinese classes that become the most popular materials for showing images and attitudes of saints, men of virtues. Personality is a character of a man. Personality education refers to changing immature students intentionally into righteous and value-oriented person. The ability to read and comprehend Chinese is the most important goal for Chinese classes but curriculum contains many materials and themes on personality and virtues. The sources of this study are mainly on books for developing self in old times. Chinese classes contain personality and virtues then any other subjects and can be regarded as subject appropriate for teaching personality education and realize internalization. However, the difference with recent concept of common good is that they focus on family oriented filial duty, friendship, personal self-examination which were key values in old times. Personality education in Chinese classes can be conducted in various ways. Teachers can teach by explaining sources when teaching Chinese characters and teach contents related with personality. Teachers can also teach personality while reading verses or vocabularies containing sources while teaching Chinese vocabularies or phrases. Short phrases or verses related with personality and virtue can be good materials for comparing, organizing and internalizing personality through stories of ancestors and in-depth personality education can be conducted depending on the number of class hours. The goal of Chinese classes is still about correct interpretation of Chinese sentences by learning Chinese characters but education on personality and virtue can change into classes ideal for developing personality depending on the will of a teacher since this class is frequently exposed to personality and virtue then other subjects.
