This article focused on the documents that is concerned with ocean, the chapter ｢Kiyi(紀 異)｣ in 『Samgukyusa(三國遺事)』. And purposed on the finding the meaning of the ocean in the documents' narrative, for example, why and how were oceans used in this chapter. According to the research results, the documents that is concerned with ocean were concerned with the Silla(新羅) Dynasty, and there were three features. First, the ocean is the route of the existence of sacred being. By the way, these routes do not simply mean ocean's way. These routes take on active part in the movement of holy being through the ocean, from one land to another land. Second, the ocean is the existence of sacred being who watched over the land of Silla Dynasty or the holy place that they lived in. The holy beings based on the ocean spread their wings, in case of protecting Silla Dynasty from enemy of outside of Shilla territory or solving the problem of the internal trouble. Third, the ocean is the place which remarkable persons showed the appearance and ability, and did their best for Silla Dynasty. They had Silla nationality, and on the ocean, they displayed dedication for Silla Dynasty. In summary, the period of Silla, people of Silla had positive awareness and fulfilled with a feeling of expectancy about the ocean. We can find this conclusion in chapter ｢Kiyi｣, 『Samgukyusa』. From now on, it is necessary that transfer the attitudes and opinions from the land and unification of the three Kingdoms(Koguryo(高句麗), Baekje(百濟), Silla) to the ocean surrounding Korean Peninsula when we research about the Silla Dynasty. And we have to be interested in another chapters in 『Samgukyusa』 except ｢Kiyi｣, so have to understand the awareness about 『Samgukyusa』, Silla Dynasty, Silla people.
