At present, our society is in transition,Faced with a holistic and comprehensive structure of state transition,Including structural change, transition mechanisms, interest adjustment and the change in the concept of a series of economic, political, psychological changes.During this process, people's behavior, lifestyle, value system will change dramatically.In the old system gradually lost its function, while the new structure has not yet fully established period,peole doesn't have a clear understanding of market rules and the concepts of the commodity economy,therefore the market risk arising from economic is hard to be estimated ,and the game of market economy is not be well mastered.Together with the openness of the expansion, the social mainstream culture under the impact of foreign culture, culture shock, "the marginalized" ,etc, makes the social life of people's practice behavior and mental state in a very different position. Informal structure of social relations often surpass the formal system. This is formed our social life of "unspoken rules" event is a rare condition in transition period, the existence of rule running condition also have new features and form.Transition characteristics formed "hidden rules" all around the social life,and this phenomenon is widely accepted. The unspoken rules' important influence still can not be ignored in the social life,although the fact is not pointed out. Therefore, this article wants to analysis the unspoken rules of how derived, run and have an effect from a sociological perspective, combined with restructuring of the characteristics of Chinese social life,the understanding of "hidden rules" in our society as a kind of "normal" for the existence of reasons, as well as how to eliminate the phenomenon of change in follow-up study of this deviant laying the foundation.This article defined "hidden rules" as a special kind of informal system through the Western theories on the informal system and the Chinese scholars'research on unspoken rules.This informal system is in a particular social and cultural practice, to continue precipitation and the potential production of the relative stability of deviant behavior, and separation of the social mainstream consciousness, with the formal systems and formal systems with the operating mode is inconsistent and has expressiveness.This article from the "gift" culture rule, a specific sub-cultural groups in the hidden rules, "social networks" of the hidden rules of the three aspects of transformation in our social life the hidden rules of existence, and thus transition based on analysis of the hidden rules of our social life in the operating mechanism: First, the transition to the failure of the formal system of rules of operation for the potential to provide a soil, became popular in the first premise of the hidden rules. Second, China's "Rites" social and ethical standard of the cultural characteristics of the formation for the hidden rules and operation of space. Third, the individual deviant behavior in the common level of recognition, the recognition constitutes the basis of hidden rules.Based on this, this article summarizes the transition rules of our social life, the characteristics of the potential that the hidden rules "significant" and the hidden rules of "routine."And make social life consolidated text of the rules to overcome the potential mechanisms.In reality, the hidden rules of the signs are everywhere, from the interpersonal to the economic field, to the literary circle from the administrative system, the unspoken rules become a common fact is people immediately understood. Although reluctant to be pointing to this fact, we still can not ignore its important influence on social life. Therefore, from the sociological perspective, combined with transition characteristics of our social life, analysis of the unspoken rules of how derived, run and have an effect, and understanding "hidden rules" in our society as a kind of "normal" in the reasons of the existence of these problems constitute the starting point of this article, as well as how to eliminate the phenomenon of change in follow-up study of this deviant laying the foundation.This will be the unspoken rules for the study, first of all foreign and domestic for the "hidden rules" to sort out the relevant theory, attempts to analyze the transformation of Chinese social life, there is a lot of potential anomalies, and analyze the characteristics of hidden rules in transition, explained the kind of phenomenon exists because, finally proposed rules for the transition to overcome the potential mechanism.
