AB - This paper focuses on collecting and examining (types of) variant forms of Chinese characters written in nine old Korean maps, and correcting problems in using the “searching for original material” service at the website of Kyujanggak. Types of variant forms in the maps are classified as follow: i) Adding or subtracting a few strokes, ii) Simplifying the part of the characters, iii) Coding the parts of the characters, iv) Coding the half of the characters, v) Replacing the original character with another character with the same sound, vi) Adopting only the outlines of the characters, and vii) Replacing phonetic-semantic compounds (形聲) with the late combined ideograms (會意). Features of various types of variant forms are summarized as below: i) Succession of the existing variant forms, ii) Development of the variant forms, and iii) Evolution of the variant forms. In addition, I also find out the existence of new routes of the genesis of new variant forms. I also discovered errors in “searching place names” for the Map Book of Korea (靑邱要覽) provided by the website of the Kyujanggak Institute For Korean Studies. For example, the searching service renders “魚物广” and “米广” of the original map as “魚物廣”, “米廣”, respectively, where 广 in the Map Book of Korea is, in fact, the variant form of 廛. Furthermore, “蚕(蠶)頭” is rendered as “천두”, “관공서(寺)” as “~사”, “廣智門” as ‘문지경’ and so on. Last but not least, this variant form (广) is assumed to be the highly rare variant form that is not found in variant forms used in Chinese literature. It can be considered as an evolutional variant form that the innovational way to render the variant forms of Korea is applied.
