April Fools' Day: Origin and History
April Fools' Day, sometimes called All Fools' Day, is one of the most light-hearted days of the year. Its origins are uncertain. Some see it as a celebration related to the turn of the seasons, while others believe it stems from the adoption of a newcalendar.
New Year's Day Moves
Ancient cultures, including those of the Romans and Hindus, celebrated New Year's Day on or around April 1. It closely follows the vernal equinox (March 20th or March 21st.) In medieval times, much of Europe celebrated March 25, the Feast of Annunciation, as the beginning of the new year.
In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new calendar (the Gregorian Calendar) to replace the old Julian Calendar. The new calendar called for New Year's Day to be celebrated Jan. 1. That year, France adopted the reformed calendar and shifted New Year's day to Jan. 1. According to a popular explanation, many people either refused to accept the new date, or did not learn about it, and continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1. Other people began to make fun of these traditionalists, sending them on "fool's errands" or trying to trick them into believing something false. Eventually, the practice spread throughout Europe.
Problems With This Explanation
There are at least two difficulties with this explanation. The first is that it doesn't fully account for the spread of April Fools' Day to other European countries. The Gregorian calendar was not adopted by England until 1752, for example, but April Fools' Day was already well established there by that point. The second is that we have no direct historical evidence for this explanation, only conjecture, and that conjecture appears to have been made more recently.
Constantine and Kugel
Another explanation of the origins of April Fools' Day was provided by Joseph Boskin, a professor of history at Boston University. He explained that the practice began during the reign of Constantine, when a group of court jesters and fools told the Roman emperor that they could do a better job of running the empire. Constantine, amused, allowed a jester named Kugel to be king for one day. Kugel passed an edict calling for absurdity on that day, and the custom became an annual event.
"In a way," explained Prof. Boskin, "it was a very serious day. In those times fools were really wise men. It was the role of jesters to put things in perspective with humor."
This explanation was brought to the public's attention in an Associated Press article printed by many newspapers in 1983. There was only one catch: Boskin made the whole thing up. It took a couple of weeks for the AP to realize that they'd been victims of an April Fools' joke themselves.
Spring Fever
It is worth noting that many different cultures have had days of foolishness around the start of April, give or take a couple of weeks. The Romans had a festival named Hilaria on March 25, rejoicing in the resurrection of Attis. The Hindu calendar has Holi, and the Jewish calendar has Purim. Perhaps there's something about the time of year, with its turn from winter to spring, that lends itself to lighthearted celebrations.
Observances Around the World
April Fools' Day is observed throughout the Western world. Practices include sending someone on a "fool's errand," looking for things that don't exist; playing pranks; and trying to get people to believe ridiculous things.
The French call April 1 Poisson d'Avril, or "April Fish." French children sometimes tape a picture of a fish on the back of their schoolmates, crying "Poisson d'Avril" when the prank is discovered.

即愚人节；
愚人节（April Fool's Day或All Fools' Day）也称万愚节、幽默节，愚人节节期为公历4月1日，是从19世纪开始在西方兴起流行的民间节日，并未被任何国家认定为法定节日。在这一天人们以各种方式互相欺骗和捉弄，往往在玩笑的最后才揭穿并宣告捉弄对象为“愚人”。玩笑的性质极少包含实质恶意，但个别玩笑由于开得过大而引起人们的恐慌，产生较大规模反响及衍生成为（传媒）谣言和都市传说，所以对于人们来说一般会加以避免如灾难之事的玩笑。
需要注意的是愚人节这天玩笑只能开到中午12点之前，这是约定俗成的严格规定，过了钟点还开玩笑的人会立刻碰钉子，自找没趣儿，称为比被他取笑的人还要大的傻瓜。
愚人节英文介绍：April Fool's Day is also called All Fools'Day, Humor's Day and April Fool's Day. The Festival is on April 1 of the Gregorian calendar. It is a popular folk festival in the West since the 19th century. It has not been recognized as a statutory Festival by any country. On this day, people cheat and play tricks on each other in various ways, often at the end of the joke to expose and declare the target of the joke as "fool".The nature of jokes seldom contains real malice, but individual jokes cause people's panic because they are too big, which generates a large-scale response and generates rumors and urban legends, so it is generally avoided for people to make jokes about disasters.愚人节中文介绍：愚人节也称万愚节、幽默节，愚人节。节期为公历4月1日，是从19世纪开始在西方兴起流行的民间节日，并未被任何国家认定为法定节日。在这一天人们以各种方式互相欺骗和捉弄，往往在玩笑的最后才揭穿并宣告捉弄对象为“愚人”。玩笑的性质极少包含实质恶意，但个别玩笑由于开得过大而引起人们的恐慌，从而产生较大规模反响并且衍生成为谣言和都市传说，所以对于人们来说一般会加以避免开如有关灾难之事的玩笑。扩展资料：愚人节各国风俗：一、美国如今，每逢愚人节，不管对方是否相识，美国人都会开些小玩笑。在愚人节比较常见的把戏是指着别人的鞋子说：“你鞋带没系。”学生可能会骗同学说学校放假了。不管是什么样的招数，只要那个无辜的受害者中技了，恶作剧的人就会尖叫：“愚人!”二、苏格兰在苏格兰，例如，愚人节实际上有 2 天的庆祝时间。第二天专门对人体身后的区域胡闹。这一天被称作Taily节。“踢我”迹象的来源可以追溯至此。三、墨西哥墨西哥的“愚人节”在 12 月 28 日。以前， 这一天是用来纪念被希律王（约公元前73至公元前4年）屠杀的无辜的孩子。后来演变成为包含恶作剧和诡计的纪念日。参考资料来源：百度百科—愚人节
