During the Yan'an period, in order to strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the Central Committee over the base areas, our party explored various aspects of system, mechanism, discipline and rules, and formed and consolidated the strong leadership of the first generation of central collective leadership with Comrade Mao Zedong as the core, which not only greatly enhanced the unity and unity of the party, It also laid the organizational foundation for the victory of the war of resistance against Japan and the war of liberation. Establish a mature and stable collective leadership and establish a strong leadership core. In September 1938, the Central Committee held the enlarged Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee. This was not only a conference to determine China's destiny, but also a conference to lay the foundation for the formation of a mature and stable leadership collective within the party. This meeting clarified the status and responsibilities of the Central Committee, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and other institutions within the party, and established the authority of the central leadership. In March 1943, the Central Committee held a meeting of the Politburo and decided that between the two plenary sessions of the Central Committee, the Politburo would lead the work of the whole party and have the right to decide all major issues and elect Mao Zedong as chairman. At the same time, the Secretariat was adjusted to be composed of Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi and Ren Bishi, with Mao Zedong as chairman and mainly handling daily work under the policy of the Politburo. this is a crucial step in building a mature and stable collective leadership and a strong core.
