The common law of all things, that is, the law of materialistic dialectics, has the greatest universality and is the most general law. The common law of things in a certain range is also a general law for this range, but a special law for a larger range. If the relations of production must be suitable for the law of the nature of productive forces, it is a general law for human society (no matter what era and where the society is), but it is a special law for the whole world. Therefore, the distinction between general laws and special laws is relative. General laws and special laws are connected with each other. General laws are always manifested as special laws and always exist in special laws. Therefore, we must master the general laws by recognizing the special laws; Once you have mastered the general laws, you can use them as a guide to further understand the special laws.
