The origin of April fool's day

The origin of April Fool's Day is as follows:

Generally speaking, it originated in France. 1564, French emperor Charles IX announced that the Gregorian calendar would be adopted throughout the country, so the New Year's activities originally held in April of 1 year were advanced to October of 1 year. The reform in Charles IX was opposed by some conservatives, who still used the old calendar to celebrate the New Year, giving gifts to each other and holding various celebrations. Reformers laugh at these people's behavior. On April 1 day, they tricked conservatives into participating in the activities and gave them fake gifts on the grounds of holding New Year celebrations.

The deceived conservatives who came to participate in the activities were called "April Fools" or "Fish on the Hook". Unexpectedly, this kind of mutual ridicule between parties gradually became popular in France and eventually formed April Fool's Day. April Fool's Day not only became a popular festival in France, but also spread to Britain in the18th century, and was later brought to the United States by early British immigrants, and was brought to the American continent with the British colonial movement and immigration activities, thus becoming a popular festival in Europe and America.

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.
