April Fool's Day: How did April Fool's Day come about?

April 1 day is a traditional western folk festival-April Fool's Day, also known as April Fool's Day. There are different opinions about its origin: one says that this custom originated from the "Interpretation Festival" in India. This section stipulates that every year on March 3 1 day, men, women and children can play jokes on each other and fool each other for entertainment.

More generally, it originated in France. 1564, France first adopted a newly reformed calendar-Gregorian calendar (that is, the universal solar calendar), which started with 1 month 1 day, and changed the previous calendar that started with April 1 day as the New Year. During the implementation of the new calendar, some conformists opposed this reform, still used the old calendar and refused to update it.

They still give gifts to each other and organize activities to celebrate the New Year on April 1 day. Advocates of reform laugh at these old-fashioned practices. Smart and interesting people send fake gifts to die-hards on April 1 and invite them to participate in fake celebrations, and call these fooled people "April fools" or "fish in bait" Later, they fooled each other on this day, and over time, it became a popular custom in France. This festival spread to Britain in the18th century, and was later brought to the United States by early British immigrants.

In the beginning, any American can concoct shocking news without any moral and legal responsibility, and the government and judicial departments will not pursue it. On the contrary, whoever fabricates the most bizarre lies and who can deceive people the most will win the championship. This practice has brought a lot of confusion to the society, which has caused people's dissatisfaction. People's fooling and cheating during festivals are no longer as outrageous as in the past, but for relaxation and joy.

On April Fool's Day, jokes can only be played until noon 12, which is a strict rule by convention. People who have fun after noon are more stupid than those who are teased by them. People who joke after midnight will immediately find themselves in trouble. There is a little poem that describes it like this: It's past twelve o'clock on April Fool's Day, and you big fools are late. Until next April Fool's Day, you will be the biggest fool.
