Also known as “the law of quantitative and qualitative changes” and “the law of the transformation of change in quantity into change in quality”. It means that in their process of motion and development, things inevitably exhibit two basic states: quantitative changes and qualitative changes and the transformation of one into another. The law of the law of the transmutation between quality and quantity reveals that quality and quantity are the two aspects of determination that exist in all things and that quantitative change and qualitative change are two basic forms or states that exist in the process of change in all things. To a certain extent, quantitative changes lead to a qualitative change, which again leads to new quantitative changes. In the process of total quantitative change there is partial qualitative change, and in the process of qualitative change there is quantitative expansion. The successive cycle of quantitative and qualitative changes form the law of the law of the transmutation between quality and quantity. . .
