Abstract
Balhae was mentioned in Choi Chi-won's diplomatic letter to Tang's emperor and bureaucrat. It shows that Choi Chi-won was very interested in Balhae. However, there are some differences between the documents Choi Chi-won mentioned about Balhae. He described Balhae completely differently from the people who are receiving the diplomatic document.
 Despite the fact that diplomatic documents can show how perceptions of Balhae have changed, Choi Chi-won mentioned about Balhae because it was closely connected to the current world situation at that time. As an example, he mentioned Balhae for sending an envoy after a new king was crowned there, and comparing the affairs between Silla and Balhae at that time.
 As a conclusion, Choi Chi-won mentioned Balhae differently in all diplomatic documents to ensure Silla’s international position and suitable treatment in Tang.
