The Seven Sages of Greece, also known as "Seven Sages of Ancient Greece", refer to the seven most intelligent people mentioned by the ancient Greeks, who lived in the era before Socrates. Because the philosophy at that time was rarely recorded in words, people mostly discussed or orally spread philosophical thoughts in that era, and then applied them to their respective behaviors. These seven philosophical sages are: Byas in Asia Minor, Karen in Sparta, Cleobras in Rhode Island, Brian in Corinth, Dacas in Mithrina, Solon in Athens and Thales in Miletus.

Among these seven people, except Thales and Solon, the deeds of others are not to be tested, but some aphorisms and aphorisms from their mouths have been handed down. Bias's motto is: "Many hands and feet are in disorder"; Brian's motto is: "think twice before you act"; Pi Dacas's motto is: "Seize the opportunity"; Solon's motto is: "Avoid extremes"; Cleobras famously said, "Take the golden mean in everything" (which is somewhat similar to China's Confucianism).

Diogenēs Laertius, a historian of ancient Greek philosophy in Roman times, introduced the seven Greek sages in the first volume of His Words and Actions of Famous Philosophers, which is thought-provoking. Combined with the turbulent social background of Rome in the 3rd century A.D., we can speculate that Laerxiuyi wanted to raise a beacon for the Romans in the chaos and darkness through the noble and wise words and deeds of the seven Greek sages.

But it is a pity that the top five have few historical materials and records handed down to later generations because of their long history. Only the last two, Solon and Thales, have left some famous sayings. However, from these sentences, you can see their philosophical ideas and ideological core somewhat.
