6. Why did the ancient Greeks set up the "Seven Arts" program?

The "Seven Arts" program was born out of the social needs and relative cultural richness of ancient Greece and Rome. The "School of Wisdom" mentioned the "three arts", Plato put forward the "four arts", the two together, **** with the construction of the foundation of the Western classical humanist curriculum. In the Roman period, the "seven arts" program continued to develop, but in the Middle Ages, the "seven arts" program was y branded with religious theology. "After the Renaissance, the modern natural sciences in the West developed, and the division between modern natural sciences and social sciences gradually took shape, and the traditional "seven arts" gradually withdrew from the stage of history and eventually died out.

The rise and fall of the "Seven Arts" course represents the flux of the Western classical humanist course, witnesses the prosperity and decline of Western classical culture, and has had a profound impact on the development of the Western curriculum since modern times.
