Why do old-fashioned popcorn machines pop instantly?
The origin of the festival can be traced back to the origins of April Fools' Day, which are roughly as follows: 1. In 1582 [3], King Charles IX of France decided to adopt a new reform of the Gregorian calendar (the current Gregorian calendar).
January 1st is the beginning of the year, which has changed from April 1st as the beginning of the new year.
However, some conservatives oppose this reform and still send New Year's gifts and celebrate the New Year on April 1 according to the old calendar.
Those who advocated reform made a mockery of the practices of the conservatives, gave them fake gifts on April 1st, and invited them to fake parties. From then on, making fun of people on April 1st spread.
When a person is deceived, the person playing tricks on him will shout loudly: "POISSON D'AVRIL", which means "April Prank".
The origin and original meaning of this idiom are no longer clear.
2. According to the research of British historians: "April Fool's Day" The origin of the April Fool's Day vision test comes from the Indian Buddhist saying "reach the other side".
The British Encyclopedia records: "April Fool's Day" is a holiday of lies that first appeared after the religious revolution in the 15th century AD.
At that time, King Philip II of Spain once established an "Inquisition". Anyone who was not a Catholic would be considered a heretic and would be sentenced to death on April 1st every year.
The subjects felt very frightened, so they took pleasure in telling lies and making fun every day to dilute their fear and hatred of the ruler.
Later, it was used for a long time and evolved into today's "April Fool's Day".
3. According to legend, about 1,650 years after Adam, the ancestor of mankind, God destroyed the world with a flood, but only Noah, the descendant of Huide, the third son of Adam, was left. He saved his family with a man-made boat.
Life, big and small.
After the flood receded, Noah sent out a white dove to find a piece of land after the flood receded, because this day happened to be April 1st.
Therefore, later generations believe that doing a meaningless thing on this day is just like a white dove doing a white job, which is stupid.
It is the origin of "April Fool's Day".
4. According to records in ancient Roman fragments: Rome held the "Ginger Festival" in early April every year. During the "Ginger Festival" in a certain year, Bai Luosaipinna, the daughter of the dominating god Serice, was picking daffodils in Paradise.
When they met Prado, the king of Hades, they fell in love at first sight and expressed their love to each other. Prado married Bai Luo Saipinna as the queen of Hades. When the two of them returned to the underworld, Prata sent the ghosts in the underworld to giggle.
She made a sound to fool Sherry, but Sherry was fooled, so she followed the source of the sound.
Therefore, they regard the annual "Manjiang Meeting" as "April Fool's Day".
5. According to Christians: "April Fool's Day" is to commemorate the day of Jesus' crucifixion. Before Jesus was crucified on the cross, he was forced to run around. Later generations used April 1st as this day to commemorate his innocent death.
Being crucified alive actually contains the meaning of vigilance.
6. April Fool's Day is similar to the ancient Roman Hilaria (March 25) and the Indian Joy Festival (Holi, until March 31).
7. The choice of time seems to be related to the "Spring Equinox" (March 21).
The weather often changes suddenly during this time, as if nature is fooling humans.
8. There is a folklore in the UK that believes that April Fools' Day is related to a town called "Gotham".
Legend has it that there was a tradition in the 13th century that all roads visited by the king would be taken over by the prince.
Not wanting to lose their main thoroughfare, the people of Gotham spread rumors in hopes of stopping the King's inspections.
The king then sent an informant to investigate. When the informant arrived in the village, he found that the streets were full of crazy people.
The king then gave up the plan of patrolling.
So April Fools' Day came to commemorate the lies told by the citizens of Gotham Town.
