What does April Fool's Day mean? The meaning of the article is clear, but I don't understand why it is called April Fool's Day.

History of April Fool's Day

April 1 day is the day when we remember what we are in the other 364 days of the year.

-Mark Twain

Unlike most other non-April Fool's Day, the history of April Fool's Day, sometimes called April Fool's Day, is not completely clear. There is really no "first April Fool's Day" on the calendar. Some people think that it evolved from the first day of celebrating spring in several cultures at the same time.

The closest start of this tradition was in 1582 in France. Before that year, people began to celebrate the New Year on March 25th for eight days. The celebration reached its climax on April 1 day. With the reform of calendar in Charles IX, the Gregorian calendar was introduced and the New Year was moved to 1 month 1 day.

However, in the era when news is spread by foot, communication is still the same, and many people have not received news for several years. Others, more stubborn people, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1 day. These backward people are called "fools" by ordinary people. They are laughed at and often sent to do "fool's errands" or become the object of other practical jokes.

Over time, this harassment has evolved into a tradition of playing pranks on the first day of April. This tradition finally spread to England and Scotland in the18th century. Later, it was introduced to the American colonies in Britain and France. April Fool's Day has thus developed into an international happy festival. It can be said that people from different countries specialize in their own humor at the expense of their friends and family.

For example, in Scotland, April Fool's Day is actually celebrated for two days. The next day was a prank aimed at the back of the body. This day is called Teli Day. The origin of the "Kick Me" sign can be traced back to this ceremony.

April Fool's Day in Mexico is actually on1February 28th. At first, this day was a sad commemoration of Herod's massacre of innocent children. It eventually evolved into a more relaxed commemoration that included pranks and deception.

April Fool's pranks are simple, (for example, "Your shoelaces are loose! ), to be perfunctory. It is a common prank to set your roommate's alarm clock back one hour. No matter what the prank is, the prankster usually ends by shouting "Happy April Fool's Day" to the victim. "

Pranks are a common practice on April Fool's Day. Sometimes, elaborate pranks last all day. The news media even got involved. For example, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day is a very detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest crops from spaghetti trees.

April Fool's Day is a "entertainment only" festival. No one will buy gifts or take their "other half" to a fancy restaurant for dinner. No one gets off work or school. This is just an interesting little festival, but you must always be vigilant on this day, because it may be the next April Fool's Day.
