Who came up with the slogan "Unity, Tension, Seriousness and Liveliness"?

"In 1939, Mao Zedong wrote an inscription for the Resistance University: "Unity, Tension, Seriousness, Livelyness."?"

The rise and development of cadre schools in the Yan'an period came with the anti-Japanese climax. Some of them are formal institutions of higher learning, some are wartime short courses; there are also party schools, military and political schools or labor, youth and women's cadres of all kinds of schools; there are literature and art, natural sciences, but also medicine and health, agricultural schools, etc., which can be said to be a complete range of categories, rich in content.

In the fall of 1931, the Party Central Committee in Ruijin founded the Central Red Army School, in November 1933, renamed the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army University, in the Long March vaguely known as the cadre corps.

After the arrival of the Central Red Army in Shaanbei, in order to systematically train a large number of cadres, in February 1936, the establishment of the Red Army Cadre School in Wayaobao Fortress in Shaanbei, where Zhou Kun served as principal.

On June 1 of the same year, it was expanded to become the Chinese Anti-Japanese Red Army University, and in July it was moved to Bao'an. In January 1937, the Central Committee of the Party stationed in the city of Yan'an, and the Red Army University was moved to Yan'an with it.

In order to unite the broader masses of people against the Japanese, the central government decided to change the Red Army University into the Chinese People's Anti-Japanese University of Military and Political Science, with its seat in Yan'an Erdao Street. Since the Anti-Japanese University is a continuation of the Red Army University, the founding of the Anti-Japanese University is generally counted from 1936.

These three are indispensable for creating an anti-Japanese revolutionary soldier." He also personally formulated the motto of the Anti-Japanese Army as "unity, tension, seriousness and liveliness".
