ABSTRACT

In the early 20th century, to respond to the expanding postal culture of each class, a variety of cheok-dok books were released, and in addition to showing the basic letter rules, they provided various supplementary materials using the blank space in the top portion of the text. In this study, 6 books were selected, and their top portion data were reviewed. By examining the composition and contents of each cheok-dok book, the obscure data in the cheok-dok books published in the early 20th century provides a supplementary explanation for the main body letter rules. It also has a role as a device to help develop Chinese language and Japanese language skills. What's more, through the process of examining the connectivity and complementarity between the top portion and the main text, it was possible to grasp the target readership that each cheok-dok book aims for to some extent.
