Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to show the difference between the contextual meanings of creation and creativity through (i) comparing definitions of creation and creativity in the Korean, Chinese, Japanese and English Dictionaries (ii) surveying the old Korean documents from Silla to the present period (iii) reviewing the translation of the creative economy in Korea, China and Japan (iv) and surveying the literature on the history of creativity in English. The followings are main findings. Firstly, each country’s dictionary has defined creation as “something that is created for the first time,” and creativity as “generation of new ideas.”Secondly, the contextual meaning of creation and creativity is in accordance with those definitions found in the Korean dictionary. Thirdly, the interchangeable use of creation and creativity is caused not only by the translation of the Japanese‒English dictionary and Korean‒English dictionary but also by the practice of Japanese scholars who have used them interchangeably. Fourthly, the use of the word ‘create’ was reserved for gods only from the early days of Western Civilization and was allowed only poets to use in the advent of the 17th century. Lastly, the meaning of the creative economy adopted by the Korean government must be understood as “the creation economy” because the government has focused on the generation of new economic values, new jobs, and growth.
