ABSTRACT

South Korea and China are countries belonging to the East Asian Chinese character culture, and the two countries' text and language are closely related geographically and historically. The two countries based on Chinese character culture have developed literature and art through their own language, culture and literature records for thousands of years, using a common medium called Chinese Characters. The two countries have used the same Chinese Characters in Chinese character culture for many years, but the Chinese Characters used in both countries are different in their forms. Currently, traditional shaped Chinese Characters is used in Korea based on the shape of Kang Hee Jajeon, while in China, The simplified Chinese Characters is used. This study surveyed learners' perceptions and realities about the learning relationship between traditional Chinese characters and simplified characters. In order to examine the existence and degree of correlation between traditional Chinese character and simplified character learning, we conducted the study in two aspects. One is to look at learners' perceptions of traditional Chinese characters and simplified learning correlations through a survey response method for students currently learning Chinese at universities, and the other is to use specific survey responses to identify simplified characters that match traditional Chinese characters to examine the correct rate of selection by learning level and to see if the results of the respondents' recognition survey actually match the learner's selection results. Through this research, we checked the status of university students' perception of the correlation between traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters, and also looked at the status of learners' study about simplified Chinese characters, based on the degree of Chinese characters acquisition and Chinese language acquisition.
