Description
Book Introduction
“The warmth contained in a single letter,
“The story of all of us contained within it”

“The seeds of thought are always in words.”

Countless words fill the day,
A piece of philosophy hidden within it

'Words are vessels that hold the times and mirrors that reflect the human heart.'

"The Garden of Language" is a humanities essay that reflects on the wisdom of life hidden in the words we use thoughtlessly in our daily lives.
Familiar words like 'fate', 'match', 'lunch', and 'joye' are explained through the roots and stories of Chinese characters, reviving the emotions and human insight of the moment when language was born.

The author delves into the etymology of words and views them not as mere knowledge, but as a 'record of emotions.'
In a single letter, we discover human life, dignity, warmth, and humor, proving that language is a landscape of thought and a record of life.
In this world, called the "Garden of Language," readers learn the meaning of words while simultaneously experiencing the joy of interpreting their own lives through language.

This book, which reveals the essence of life from the origins of Chinese characters and the human heart from the texture of expression, provides a sensory and reflective reading experience for all language lovers.
For those who want to look at the language of the day in a new way, "The Garden of Language" will serve as a space for thought and a rest for the heart.

Publisher's Review
“Standing in the garden of language, I reread myself today.”

A time to revive the breath of forgotten words

Memories of Youth


Following the true meaning of 'puberty', the greenest season among the four seasons, we calmly reflect on growth, anxiety, and the emotions of life blooming again.
I realize that all the questions I had during those shaky times ultimately made me stronger.

Sincere regards


We find the warmth of humanity in words like ‘tolerance’ and ‘green’.
It talks about the warm heart that embraces others and the affectionate gaze that we give to each other.
Language ultimately remains the most affectionate form of greeting and greetings towards people.

The highlight of life


Like the Chinese character for 'magnificent', these are moments that capture a single scene of life.
Even if it's not perfect, it records the weight and beauty of shining moments.
Within that weight, we can learn what it means to live 'truly'.

Depth of wisdom


The dignity and learning found in old words, realized by tracing the roots of language.
Through the knots of words, you can think deeply and establish a firm attitude toward life.
In the breath of long language, you become a more generous and neat person.
