Who set the year and month for the Chinese New Year, a traditional Chinese festival?

After the Xinhai Revolution, the Chinese calendar was gradually changed to the Gregorian calendar (a type of solar calendar, also known as the Gregorian calendar). Later, in order to distinguish between the summer calendar and the Gregorian calendar two new years, in view of the summer calendar on January 1 just before and after the "Spring Festival", which is one of the twenty-four specific festivals that indicate the change of seasons in the dry calendar, the summer calendar (lunar calendar) was renamed "Spring Festival", and the Gregorian calendar was renamed "New Year's Day" on January 1, which is the first day of the lunar calendar. January 1 of the summer (lunar) calendar was renamed "Spring Festival" and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar was renamed "New Year's Day". [35] [12]

In July 1913 (the second year of the Republic of China), Yuan Shikai approved the first day of the first month of the Chinese New Year, and agreed to the Spring Festival as a routine holiday, which was implemented from 1914 onwards. Since then, the first day of the summer calendar has been changed from "Chinese New Year" to "Spring Festival"
