The era of Industry 5.0 has quietly arrived, sounding a new round of global industrial transformation. Industry 5.0 pays more attention to human well-being and puts human needs at the core of the manufacturing system, which means that industrial development is no longer just pursuing economic growth and employment, but is looking at a more ambitious social goal, that is, creating a solid foundation for the sustainable development of all mankind. However, the current exploration of Industry 5.0 is still in its infancy, and although some forward-looking thinking and research are ongoing, systematic results are still relatively few. This paper first reviews the development process from Industry 1.0 to Industry 5.0, trying to find out the inevitability and rationality of this transformation from the historical context. Then it systematically combs the definition, characteristics, and framework of Industry 5.0 in order to summarize and sort out a clear and comprehensive understanding of Industry 5.0. Finally, in order to cope with the opportunities and challenges brought by Industry 5.0, the enlightenment of China's development of Industry 5.0 is put forward. This paper provides an important reference for further research on Industry 5.0 and China's development of Industry 5.0.
