3. 《全唐詩》中收錄的「太平頌」，詩體為五言排律：

大唐開洪業，巍巍皇猷昌。

止戈戎衣定，修文繼百王。

統天崇雨施，理物體含章。

深仁偕日月，撫運邁陶唐。

幡旗既赫赫，鉦鼓何鍠鍠。

外夷違命者，翦覆被天殃。

淳風凝幽顯，遐邇競呈祥。

四時和玉燭，七曜巡萬方。

維嶽降宰輔，維帝任忠良。

五三成一德，昭我唐家光。

《唐詩品彙》評為 「高古雄渾，可與初唐諸作相頡頏」。

Reign

Queen Jindeok (r. 647–654) ascended the throne and became the Silla's second Queen regnant after Queen Seondeok. The last monarch from the ranks of the Seonggol, the highest class in the Silla's unique caste system, her real name is Seungman. Her father was Kim Gukban, who was King Jinpyeong's youngest brother, and her mother was Lady Wolmyeong. During her seven-year reign Queen Jindeok's primary concern was foreign policy. With the help of general Kim Yushin she was able to strengthen Silla's defenses and greatly improve her kingdom's relations with Tang China. Those efforts laid the foundation for the unification of the three kingdoms (Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo).

She also expanded the Pumju tax-collecting system.

Her tomb is located on the hill in Gyeongju city. Although some historians have doubt that if it is really the tomb of Queen Jindeok. According to the Samguk Sagi she was buried at Saryangbu, which is located in the opposite direction from the tomb.

Legacy

When King Jeonggang was dying in 887, he appointed his sister Jinseong as his heir, justifying the choice of a female monarch by pointing at Seondeok's and Jindeok's successful reigns.

The name of an era

Queen Jindeok used the era name, Inpyeong, from January to July in 647, when she was crowned, and changed the era name as Taehwa. From July 647 to June 650, she used the Taehwa era, but later she used Yeonghwi, the era that was used during the Tang Dynasty. Taehwa is the last name that Silla has used independently.
