Why is April Fool's Day April 1 day?

April Fool's Day originated from the story of a reform in France in the16th century.

At that time, France implemented the old calendar. April 1 day is the lunar new year. French people will exchange gifts in the New Year and wish each other a happy New Year.

The reformists proposed that 65438+ 10 1 will be the New Year after adopting the Gregorian calendar, but the conservatives were unwilling to give up the tradition of celebrating the New Year on April 1 day and did not agree to launch a new calendar year.

Those who advocate reform mock these conservatives. On April 1 day, they sent fake gifts and invited them to a fake reception, and called the deceived Conservatives "April Fools" or "Fish on the Hook". Since then, people have fooled each other on April 1 day, which has become a popular custom in France. /kloc-At the beginning of the 8th century, the custom of April Fool's Day spread to Britain, and was later brought to the United States by early British immigrants.
