The spiral rising wave goes forward. Who proposed it?

Original sentence:

The dialectical development of things is that after two negatives, there are three stages, that is, "affirmation-negation-negation of negation", forming a cycle. This process of denying things, in terms of content, is a process of self-development and self-improvement. The form is spiral or wave-like, the direction is upward, the road is tortuous, and it is the unity of progressiveness and stumbling.
