Why is April Fool's Day April 1 day?

April Fool's Day originated from the story of a reform in France in the16th century.

At that time, France practiced the old calendar. April 1 day is the lunar new year, and the French will exchange gifts in the new year to wish a happy new year.

Reformists proposed that 65438+ 10 1 be the New Year after the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, but conservatives were unwilling to give up the tradition of celebrating the New Year on April 1 and did not agree to launch a new calendar year.

Advocates of reform mocked these conservatives. On April 1 day, they sent fake gifts and invited them to a fake wine party, and called the deceived conservatives "April Fools" or "Fish on the Hook". From then on, people fooled each other on April 1 day, which became a popular custom in France. /kloc-At the beginning of the 8th century, the custom of April Fool's Day spread to Britain, and was later brought to the United States by early British immigrants.
