The glyph of Chinese characters is one of the attributes of Chinese characters and also reflects the uniqueness of Chinese characters. Chinese character glyphs have brought great obstacles to learners whose mother tongue is phonemic orthography to learn and write Chinese characters. This is because people have different cognitive psychology towards phonogram and ideogram. At present, there are few studies on the influence of cognitive psychology on writing Chinese characters by Chinese learners. Using Gestalt psychology theory, this paper classifies and discusses 115 Chinese character writing errors collected and sorted out from the corpus. Through the research methods of error analysis and statistical analysis, it finds out the cognitive psychological factors that have strong interference when beginning level Korean Chinese learners write Chinese characters. The results show that six perceptual organization principles influence the Chinese character writing, among which the Principle of similarity and the Law of Pragnanz cause the most errors. This study is helpful to clarify the important and difficult points in the teaching of Chinese character, and can reduce the learners' writing errors to a certain extent.

Shangshu is known as the “ancestor of political books and the source of historical books” in China, with extremely important ideological and cultural values. It is also one of the earliest Chinese classics translated by the Westerners. Since the 17th century, its translation has been popular, and famous English translations include the translations by the 19th-century British missionary Sinologist James Legge and the 20th-century Swedish sinologist Bernhard Karlgren. Due to the intertextuality of the text, examining the relevant intertextual materials referred to by James Legge and Bernhard Karlgren in the English translation process of the book reveals that the intertextual materials chosen by the two have different historical characteristics, and their absorption and transformation of intertextual materials have subjective differences. This is also one of the important reasons for their different translations and interpretations of the original text. Studying and interpreting the differences between these two English translations from the perspective of intertextual theory can not only further expand the research space of the translation of Shangshu, but also deeply grasp the development characteristics and laws of the English translation of this classic. It can also provide reference for the translation of Chinese classics, Sinology, translation teaching, and other research.

Analysis of Jia Baoyu’s image is undoubtedly a hot topic in the study of “A Dream of Red Mansions”. Not only does the research perspective vary, but the related research results are also quite rich. These results provide readers with a very important reference for a deep and comprehensive understanding of Jia Baoyu’s image. However, looking at the existing research results, two important deficiencies can be clearly seen, namely the lack of mythological research perspective and the lack of research on Jia Baoyu’s childhood stage. It is precisely because of this shortcoming that there is an insurmountable gap for readers to understand the relationship between the myth of Nuwa patching up the sky, the myth of being born with a jade in her mouth, and the personality formation of Jia Baoyu as a teenager. This article will try to take several representative childhood stories of Jia Baoyu, such as “Zhua Zhou”（抓周）, “Feeling Old at First Sight”（一见如故）, and “Taixu Fantasy Dream”（太虚幻境梦） as research objects, explore the potential significance of Jia Baoyu's childhood stories from the perspective of mythological archetypes, and analyze Jia Baoyu’s personality. The generated prototype basis strives to understand Jia Baoyu’s image more comprehensively and analyze the overall structure of “A Dream of Red Mansions” more macroscopically and profoundly.
