When is April Fool's Day?

This is a festival from the west, which is held every April 1 day:

April Fool's Day. Also known as ALL FOOLS' DAY

April Fool's Day, also known as April Fool's Day, is a traditional folk festival in the West and the United States. The festival is held every April 1 day. 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. There are different opinions about the origin of April Fool's Day. One view is that this custom originated from India's "Interpretation Festival". 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. The more common saying of April Fool's Day originated in France. 1564, France adopted the newly reformed Gregorian calendar (now Gregorian calendar) for the first time, with 65438+ 10/as the beginning of the year. However, some old-fashioned people oppose this reform and still stubbornly celebrate the New Year by giving gifts on April 1 day according to the old calendar. Advocates of reform laugh at these old-fashioned practices. Smart and funny people gave them fake gifts on April 1, 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.

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. Nowadays, people's fooling and cheating during festivals are no longer as outrageous as in the past, but for relaxation and joy.
