April Fool's Day, also known as April Fool's Day, is a traditional folk festival in western society. The festival is held on April 1 day every year. April Fool's Day is similar to Hilaria Festival in ancient Rome (March 25th) and Huanyue Festival in India. The timing is related to the "spring equinox" (March 2 1). During this period, the weather often changes suddenly, just like nature is fooling human beings. There are different opinions about the origin of April Fool's Day. There is a saying 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. Tracing back to the origin of April Fool's Day, there are probably the following types: 1, 1582 [3]. French King Charles IX decided to adopt the newly reformed calendar-Gregorian calendar, starting from 1 and changing the past April to 65438+. 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 laughed at these practices of the old school and gave them fake gifts in April 1 and invited them to a fake party. Since then, April 1 has spread the joke. When a person is cheated, the person who plays tricks on him will shout: "Poisson de Avril", which means "April prank". The origin and original intention of this idiom are not clear. According to the research of British historians, the origin of April Fool's Eye Test comes from the phrase "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, Noah released an April Fool's cartoon, a white dove, to explore a piece of land after the flood subsided, because that day 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. 4. According to the records of the remnants of ancient Rome, Rome held the "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 the underworld. They fell in love at first sight and showed their love to each other. Prado married Bailo sabina as the queen of hades. When they all returned to the underworld, Prado was a bad job. 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. 6. 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). 7. The time 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. There is a British folklore that April Fool's Day is related to a small town called Gotham Town. Legend has it that there was a tradition in the13rd century that the roads where the king went would be owned by the public. The people of Gotham don't want to lose their main road, so they spread rumors, hoping to stop the king's patrol. The king then sent an information officer to ask. When the information officer arrived at the village, he found that the street was full of lunatics. The king abandoned his visit plan. So April Fool's Day comes from a lie in memory of Gotham citizens.
