Why does the ear of wheat represent wisdom?

The "theory of wheat ears" comes from such a story. Three disciples of Socrates, the ancient Greek philosophy tutor, once asked the teacher how to find the ideal partner. Socrates did not answer directly, but let them walk on the ridge of the wheat field, only allowed to move forward, and only gave them a chance to pick the biggest ear of wheat.

Introduction:

Socrates (Greek: σ ω κ ρ? τη? Socrates (469- 399 BC), a famous thinker, philosopher, educator and citizen juror in ancient Greece, together with his student Plato and Plato's student Aristotle, was called "the three sages of ancient Greece" and was generally regarded as the founder of western philosophy by later generations. As a citizen of Athens, it is recorded that Socrates was finally sentenced to death by the Athens court on charges of insulting the Athenian god and corrupting the thoughts of the Athenian youth. Although Socrates had the opportunity to escape, he chose to drink poisonous violet juice and die, because he thought that fleeing would only further weaken the authority of Athenian law, and at the same time he was worried that Athens would not have a good tutor to educate the people after fleeing.

Personality thought:

Studying Socrates' philosophical belief is not a simple matter: because he left no record closer to the truth, it has always been a topic of debate. Some people think that Socrates actually has no specific beliefs, but only interrogates each belief; His long theory published in the Republic is actually Plato's idea. Some people think that he doesn't actually have his own beliefs or theories, but there are many arguments about this, because it is quite difficult to distinguish the concepts of Plato and Socrates from the records, and it is even more difficult to explain their concepts. Therefore, it is not easy to find Socrates' thoughts from Plato and Xenophon's records-it must be pointed out that these thoughts are probably not put forward by Socrates himself, but may be closer to the views of these writers.
