How did China transition from farming civilization to industrial age?

Throughout the history of China, we can see that China has always been a big agricultural country, and people have been developing agriculture since ancient times. With the rise of industrial revolution in the western world, facing the backward gap, China people began to gradually develop industrial civilization, and gradually changed from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization. If we want to change from farming civilization to industrial civilization, we must first change our thinking, and then take action to completely combine theory with practice, so as to achieve a gorgeous change. The historical reason is also the most important, which can be completely changed under the social background at that time.

First, the germination of capitalism has formed the viewpoint that theoretical Marxism is regular. The development of human society has laws to follow, so both agricultural society and industrial society have their own development laws. China is no exception. As early as the Ming Dynasty, the budding phenomenon of capitalism had already formed. In the Qing Dynasty, foreign colonial rule greatly deepened the capitalist phenomenon in China. This provided an advanced ideological level and theoretical basis for China's transformation from farming civilization to industrial civilization. This can be said to be the first step of transformation, which is the theoretical source.

Second, combine theory with practice to complete the transformation. In order to develop industrial civilization, it is necessary to improve the social productivity of the country. Only with the rapid development of productive forces can the transformation from an agricultural society to an industrial society be rapid. China has been exploring ways that suit its own country. On the premise of budding, capitalism has continuously improved its national strength, combined theory with practice, and completed its transformation. In the Qing Dynasty, because of the closed door, China had formed a huge gap with the world. If we continue to preserve the agricultural civilization, it will definitely be detrimental to the development of China, so we must transition to the industrial age. Perhaps China was invaded by foreign countries at the beginning of the last century, and its national status became backward, but under the leadership of China Production Party, China has successfully turned from agricultural civilization to industrial age. Of course, China is still a big agricultural country. After all, China has a large population base, so it is necessary to ensure agricultural output. But in any case, the combination of theory and practice is the best solution.
