The three factors of economy, politics and culture in a society regulate mutual relation in development process. The fastest of all the factors in change is economic factor that caused by diplomacy. The diplomacy of Silla in 7~8 century become complex. At that time, diplomacy of Silla is changed suddenly because of three kingdoms’ unified war, war between Silla and T’ang and establishment of Balhae. Especially Silla become estranged from T’ang because of war, Silla make progress economic exchange and politic stability through improvement of relation with Japan. The relation of other country is a right of royal own, but it is carried out by the nobility. They take charge of the affair that deliver politic message by sovereign’s message and word of mouth. As Silla’s diplomacy with Japan is seen at word of mouth more then sovereign’s message, ties between the two countries is carried out for actual profit. Diplomatic relation is exchange of human and things at once. A diplomatic mission present to the king things of Kooksin(國信) and Byeolgong(別貢).

But after King Seongdeok period that reopened exchange with T’ang, diplomacy of mission is made private exchange except politic purpose. This change is influenced by the South Sea trade of T’ang. In other words, Silla obtained peacock and spices of India and Indonesia through South Sea trade, they is given to Japan. This fact shows pride of Silla related wide-ranging trade and transformation of mental action influenced by China. Diplomatic action accompany guest treating as well as economic action. It is accomplished by organization under authority of king.
