Trace the origin of April Fool's Day
According to the research of British historians, April Fool's Day recorded in British encyclopedias is a deceptive festival after the religious revolution in the15th century.
At that time, King Philip II of Spain had established a "heresy tribunal", and anyone who was not a Catholic was regarded as heresy and was sentenced to death on April 1 day every year. The subjects were very afraid. They took pleasure in telling lies and making fun every day to dilute their fear and hatred of the rulers. Since then, it has been used for a long time and evolved into today's "April Fool's Day".
