愚人节

Unlike most of the other nonfoolish holidays, the history of April Fool's Day, sometimes called All Fool's Day, is not totally clear. There really wasn't a " first April Fool's -Day" that can be pinpointed on the calendar. Some believe it evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time, from celebrations involving the first day of spring.不同于大多数别的节日,愚人节,有时被称为所有愚人的节日,它的历史不是完全清楚的。没有人能够在日历上标明第一个愚人节是什么时候。一些人相信它是同时从几种文化演变而来的,从庆祝春天的第一天开始。The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1564, in France. Prior to that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days, beginning just after the first day of spring. The celebration typically ended on April 1 . With the refonn of the calendar under Charles IX, the Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved to January 1 .
