"The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year."

--Mark Twain

How do you think April Fools' Day originated?

Did some joker in biblicaltimes decide to switch the frankincense and the myrrh? Was there a historicepidemic of spring

fever-tomfoolery in a tiny Finnish town in the early1800s? Did a New Yorker in 1910 find a cockroach in his coffee cup

anddecide to recreate the experience for his officemate, thereby sparking afamous April 1 lawsuit?

In a convincing testimonial to the saying thattruth is stranger than fiction, we'll tell you the story, or at leastpresent the most

viable theory, of how April Fools' Day came to be.

Once upon a time, back in 16th-century France, before computers, people celebrated New Year's Day on March 25, the

advent of spring. It was afestive time. They partied steadily until April 1. In 1564, when the calendar reformed and became

Gregorian, King Charles IXproclaimed, perhaps pompously, that New Year's Day should be celebrated on January 1 instead

of in the spring. Diehard conservatives resisted the change (or perhaps didn't hear about it due to the absence of e-mail) and

continued to celebrate New Year's from March 25 to April 1. During this period of spring festivity, the more flexible French

mocked the rigidrevelers by sending them foolish gifts and invitations to non-existent parties. The victim of an April Fools'

Day prank was called a "poisson d'avril," or an "April fish," because at that time of year, the sun was leaving thezodiacal sign

of Pisces. April Fools' Day hit its stride (avoiding thebanana peel) in England in the 18th century, and was brought to colonial

America by the English, Scottish, and French. No fooling.

April Fools Day:

An Unsolved History

The first of April, some do say, Is set apart for All Fools' Day. But why the people call it so,Nor I, nor they themselves do

know. But on this day are people sent On purpose for pure merriment.

-- Poor Robin's Almanac (1790)

OK, who started it? Did the first Fools come from France, England, Mexico, Sweden or India?

The truth, as in any good mystery, lies hidden in the shadows of time.

Some say that April Fools Day began in many parts of the world at the sametime, in celebration of the spring equinox. Pranks

were a big part of even the most boring equinox parties, everywhere from Sweden to India.

Others argue that the modern April Fool's Day followed the adoption of are formed calendar in France circa 1564.

In medieval times, the octave of New Year's began on March 25 with the eight days of festivities ending on April 1.With the

reform of the calendar under Charles IX, New Year's Day was moved from April 1 to January 1. Due to the slowness of

"sandal-net" communication back then and general resistance to change, the January 1date was not fully accepted for

several years. Those traditionalists who clung to April 1 as New Year's Day were scoffed at as "fools" and sent fake party

invitations and prank gifts. Widespread observance in England began in the 18th century.

The English, Scotch and French introduced the custom to their colonies in America. One of our forefathers' favorite jokes was

to send someone on a "fool's errand." For example, one might have been asked to go out and obtain a copy of "The History

of Adam's Grandfather," or bring back some "sweet vinegar."

In Scotland, April Fools Day is 48 hours long. The second day is called Taily Day and is dedicated to pranks involving the

buttocks. Taily Day's gift to posterior posterity is the still-hilarious "Kick Me" sign. The "foolish" tradition is celebrated in

Mexico, too, but on a different day and for different reasons. "El Dia de los Inocentes," which is December 28, was set aside

as a day for Christians to mourn Herod's slaughter of innocent children.

Over time, the tone of that "unluckiest of days" has evolved from sadness to good-natured trickery. Even the media join the

fun, often running bogus news stories and radio reports.We may never learn the true origin of April Fools Day.

However, the deeper question facing us today is, "What's the best gag I can pull off?"

English: April Fool's Day, also known as All Fools' Day, is a day

dedicated to playing practical jokes and spreading hoaxes. It is

celebrated on April 1st every year, where people prank their friends,

family, and even strangers. The origins of April Fool's Day are unclear,

with some theories suggesting it dates back to the 16th century

when France switched to the Gregorian calendar, moving New Year's

Day from April 1st to January 1st. Since then, it has become a widely

celebrated day across the world, with many companies and media

outlets creating elaborate pranks and jokes to fool their audience.

Despite its playful nature, it is important to remember to always have

fun responsibly and not to cause harm or distress with pranks.

中文翻译: 愚人节，也被称为万愚节，是一个专门用来捉弄和散播恶作剧的日子。每年的4月1日庆祝，人们会捉弄他们的朋友、家人，甚至陌生人。愚人节的起源不明确，一些理论表明它可以追溯到16世纪，当时法国从儒略历转换为公历，将新年从4月1日移至1月1日。从那时起，愚人节已经成为世界范围内广泛庆祝的节日，许多公司和媒体机构会制作精心设计的恶作剧和笑话来愚弄他们的听众。尽管具有戏谑性质，但重要的是要记住始终要负责任地享受乐趣，不要通过开玩笑造成伤害或烦恼。
