Disclosed is a method of preparing metal carbide including: applying physical force to a mixture of metal or metal oxide with carbonaceous material to provide a hybrid particle in which the carbonaceous material is filled inside the metal or metal oxide, or the carbonaceous material is coated onto the surface of the metal or metal oxide or the metal or metal oxide is filled inside the carbonaceous material, or the metal or metal oxide is coated onto the surface of the carbonaceous material and heating the hybrid particle; and a metal carbide prepared therefrom.
