How did April Fool's Day come about? Why is there an April Fool's Day?
April 1 day is a traditional western folk festival-April Fool's Day, also known as April Fool's Day. There are different opinions about its origin: one says that this custom originated from the "Interpretation Festival" in India. This section stipulates that on the festival day of March 3 1 every year, couples fool each other for entertainment. More generally, it originated in France. 1564, France first adopted a newly reformed calendar-Gregorian calendar (that is, universal solar calendar), which started with 1 month 1 day, and changed the previous calendar that started with April 1 day. During the implementation of the new calendar, some conformists opposed this reform, 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. Advocates of reform laugh at these old-fashioned practices. Smart and interesting people send fake gifts to die-hards on April 1 and invite them to participate in fake celebrations, and call these fooled people "April fools" or "fish in bait" Later, they fooled each other on this day, and over time, it became a popular custom in France. This festival spread to Britain in the18th century, and was later brought to the United States by early British immigrants.

April Fool's Day (April Fool's Day or April Fool's Day) is also called April Fool's Day, Humor Day and April Fool's Day. This festival is in April of Gregorian calendar 1 year, which is a popular folk festival in the west since19th century, and has not been recognized as a legal festival by any country. On this day, people cheat and play tricks on each other in various ways, and often at the end of the joke, they will expose and announce that the object of the joke is a "fool". The nature of jokes rarely contains substantial malice, but individual jokes are too big to cause people's panic and have a large-scale response, which is derived from (media) rumors and urban legends, so people generally avoid making jokes about disasters.
