Silla had positively accepted Tang’s system through an active relationship between the two countries since the 640``s. A series of reforms were carried out through the King Jindeok, Taejong Muyeol, Munmu, Sinmun. The purpose of the reform was in order to establishing a vertical relationship of the Confucian ideology and political system of China. And the substantial work has led to the provision of institutional mechanisms, such as Kukhak(國學), Dokseosampumgwa(讀書三品科) and the maintenance of ritual and yulryeong. This thesis is confirmed the ruling ideology and dealt with the problem of gaps in actual operation since Silla’s middle period by configuring the content and nature of the five-reverse(五逆). The Five-reverse(五逆) as the exclusion of pardon not only was based on the common five-precept(世俗五戒) as the traditional social norms of Silla but also was acculturation by Tang’s Ten-evil(十惡). It was consisted of the rebellion[謀反(叛)罪], the high treason(大逆罪), the injustice(不義罪) and the immorality(不道罪). The Disloyalty(不忠) and Unfilial behavior(不孝) in the five-reverse’s category should be punished but the Knowledge of the Confucian filial piety could not be effective practice of Confucian ethics soon. A typical example was the case of Yoedong the mother beat. Eventually the state made possible a legal basis for punishment for the ``Unfilial behavior`` award for being the subject of filial piety.
