The principle of spiral rising wave forward is the law of negation of negation. This law is a process of self-development and self-improvement in content, while in form, the change and development of things is a process of wave-like progress and spiral rise. This law reveals that the development of things is characterized by the unity of rising or advancing, periodicity or wandering, recovery or retrogression.

Popularization of spiral rise

An image metaphor of the development form of things revealed by the negative law of spiraling to negation. Engels said in Dialectics of Nature that the spiral development form is caused by contradictory or negative negative development. The basic characteristics of spiral rise are gradualism, wandering and periodicity.

The general direction and trend of the development of things is the forward movement from low to high, from simple to complex. But the road ahead is not straight, but tortuous, and there will be a phenomenon of returning to the starting point. Lenin pointed out that development seems to be repeating the previous stage, but it is repeated in another way and on a higher basis.
