There are different opinions about the origin of April Fool's Day. Tracing back to the origin of April Fool's Day, there are probably the following:

1, 1 In 564, King Charles IX of France decided to adopt a newly reformed calendar, the Gregorian calendar (the current universal solar calendar), with 1 as the beginning of the year, instead of1as the beginning of the New Year. However, some old-school people opposed this reform, and still presented New Year gifts on April 1 day according to the old calendar to celebrate the New Year.

Advocates of reform mocked these practices of the old school and sent them fake gifts on April 1 and invited them to a fake party. Since then, playing tricks on people has spread in April 1. And called the deceived conservatives "April fools" or "hooked fish".

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.

2. According to the research of British historians, the origin of April Fool's Day comes from the word "reach the other side" in Indian Buddhism. In the British encyclopedia, it is recorded that "April Fool's Day" is a deceptive festival after the religious revolution in the15th century.

At that time, King Philip II of Spain had established a "heresy tribunal", and anyone who was not a Catholic was regarded as heresy and was sentenced to death on April 1 day every year. The subjects were very afraid. They took pleasure in telling lies and making fun every day to dilute their fear and hatred of the rulers. Since then, it has been used for a long time and evolved into today's "April Fool's Day".

It is said that about 1650 years after Adam, the ancestor of mankind, God destroyed the world with a flood, leaving only Noah, the descendant of Adam's third son, Huide. He saved a family's life by building a ship with a man.

After the flood subsided slightly, Noah released a white dove to explore a piece of land after the flood subsided, because it happened to be April 1 day. Therefore, future generations think that doing something meaningless on this day is just like a dove getting something for nothing, and its behavior is stupid. This is the origin of April Fool's Day.

According to the records of ancient Rome, Rome held "Manjiang Club" at the beginning of April every year. One year, Bailuo sabina, the daughter of Shirley, the dominant god, met Prado, the keeper of hades. They fell in love at first sight and showed their love to each other. Prado married Bailuo sabina and became the queen of Hades.

When the two of them returned to the underworld, Prado sent the ghost of the underworld to giggle to fool Shirley, but Shirley was fooled and she followed the source of the sound.

Therefore, they regard the annual "Manjiang Conference" as "April Fool's Day".

According to Christians, "April Fool's Day" is to commemorate the day when Jesus was crucified. Before Jesus was crucified, he was forced to run around. Later generations used April 1 day to commemorate his innocent suffering, which actually contained the significance of vigilance.

However, the custom of celebrating the New Year in the old calendar has been used for a long time, and I can't forget it for a while. Therefore, they will make all kinds of false gifts or hold banquets to make a smile on the first day of April in the new calendar. Later it evolved into "April Fool's Day".

Another way of saying this is that the new school that adopts the new calendar deliberately plays tricks on the old school, especially giving gifts to the old school people in a hypocritical way on April 1 day. 1564, French king Charles IX decided to adopt a new calendar method-Gregorian calendar, with 1 month 1 day as the beginning of the year, which changed the previous calendar with April 1 day as the beginning of the new year. During the implementation of the new calendar, many stubborn conservatives all over the country 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. Supporters of the new law scoffed at this unusual move. On April 1 day, they sent fake gifts to the die-hards and invited them to attend a fake celebration, and called these fooled people "April fools" and "hooked fish".

Later, they fooled each other on this day, and it became a custom over time.

7. April Fool's Day is similar to the fun festival in ancient Rome (Hilaria, March 25th) and the joy festival in India (Holi Festival, until March 3rd1). The timing seems to be related to the "vernal equinox" (March 2 1). At this time, the weather often changes suddenly, just like nature is fooling human beings.

8. It is said that this custom originated from the "Interpretation Festival" in India. Every year on March 3 1, regardless of gender or age, you can play jokes on each other and fool each other for entertainment, similar to April Fool's Day.
