Three reforms are three major reforms: the socialist transformation of agriculture, handicrafts and capitalist industry and commerce.

The first five-year plan 1953- 1957

Three major changes: the change in the agricultural field began at the beginning of 1953 and was basically completed by the end of 1956.

Both are basically carried out at the same time.

The first five-year plan is the first plan after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which will realize industrial take-off within five years. After the five-year plan, the domestic economic and industrial level rose, and three major transformations began, namely, the socialist transformation of agriculture, handicrafts and capitalist industry and commerce. This is the difference between foundation and purpose. The first five-year plan lays the foundation, and the three major transformations are the purpose!

Socialist industrialization is a necessary means to consolidate the achievements of socialist revolution, and the three major transformations are to adapt to the transformation of socialist industrialization in other fields. It can be said that the three major transformations serve industrialization.
