Social transformation refers to the transition from one historical form to another, that is, profound changes have taken place in socio-economic structure, cultural form and values. It can be divided into five forms: primitive society, slave society, feudal society, capitalist society and socialist society.

The history of social transformation:

1. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China's history, the society changed from a slave society to a feudal society, which was marked by the collapse of the well field system, the rise of private land, and the state's tax collection on private land-the "initial tax mu" of Lu.

2. After the opening of new air routes in15 and16th century, the early colonial expansion of Europe led to primitive accumulation of capital. With the development of capitalist economy, countries gradually carried out bourgeois revolution, and the society changed from medieval feudal society to capitalist society. The typical case is 1688, the glorious revolution in Britain.
