The selectivity of social form replacement refers to the purposeful creation and transcendence of historical subjects in the process of historical movement marching according to the law, which embodies the leaping and purposeful side of social form replacement, which is determined by the reaction of basic social contradictions, that is, the reaction of production relations to productivity and the reaction of superstructure to economic base. It makes the replacement of social forms conform to the purpose of human beings and shows historical selectivity.

General Law:1.After China completed the bourgeois-democratic revolution in the middle of the 20th century, the Chinese nation chose socialism and surpassed the capitalist stage. This is the best choice made by the people of China and China in various possibilities of historical development on the basis of grasping historical inevitability, national characteristics and international environment, and it is a great historical choice. It should be pointed out that the choice of history is not a decisive negation of history, because there is a limit to the transcendence of a certain social form achieved by people through historical choice activities, and they cannot surpass the productive forces formed in this social form.
