愚人节的由来中文版：

愚人节又称万愚节，已经有几百年的历史了。关于他的起源，众说纷云。其中最为流行的说法认为愚人节起源于法国。十六世纪的法国，人们在4月1日这天过新年，互赠礼物，举办晚会，庆祝新年。当时的庆祝方法与现在相差无几。1582年年，法国国王查理九世决定采用一种新的历法——格高利历法，新年改在1月1日。在新历法的推行过程中，各地仍有一些人或是不原意接受新历法，或是不知道这一日期的更改，仍然在4月1日这天过新年。其他的人便捉弄他们，赠送他们假礼物，邀请他们参加假庆祝晚会，骗他们去跑腿，或使他们对某种根本不存在的事情信以为真。这些受骗的人被称为“四月愚人”。

从此，人们在4月1日这一天便互相愚弄，日久天长，便成为法国流行的风俗。十八世纪初，“愚人节”的习俗传到英国。后来，随着英国移民又传到了美国。随着时间的流逝，这一习俗已经成为国际性节日，在欧洲、北美许多国家都流行。这一天，人们可以不拘一格地“轻松”一下。当然愚弄人的手法也是花样百出。

关于受愚弄的人，在不同的国家给予不同的称呼。大部分人都称他们为“四月愚人”。但有时，有的国家也有其他的称呼。在法国人们把上当者称为“四月鱼”，可能是因为四月里，鱼最容易上钩的缘故吧；而在英国的苏格兰，则称为“布谷鸟”，可能是指一只呆鸟吧。同时，有的国家虽然不过“愚人

以下关于“愚人节”的五种传说，其趣味各有千秋，至于哪种更为真实全凭您的亮眼一辨真伪喽！

as it was called years ago, all fools day is observed in many countries around the world. the origin of april fools day remains clouded in obscurity. but what is clear is that the tradition of a day devoted to foolery had ancient roots. as we look back in time, many ancient predecessors of april fools day are found.

a french legendary

the most widespread theory about the

origin of april fools day links the

gregorian calendar reform.

in 1582 france became the first country to

switch from the julian to the gregorian calendar. this meant that the beginning of the year was moved from the end of march to january 1. if someone failed to keep up with the change and continued to celebrate the new year between march 25th and april 1st, various jokes would be played on him. this story might explain why april 1st specifically became the date of the modern holiday.

mythological roots

there have been quite a few attempts to

provide mythological explanations for the

rise of april fools day.

one story dates back to roman mythology,

particularly the myth of ceres (the goddess of grain and the harvest) and proserpina. in roman mythology pluto, the god of the dead, abducted

called out to her mother ceres for help, but ceres, who could only hear the echo of her

daughters voice, searched in vain for proserpina. the fruitless search of ceres for her daughter was commemmorated during the roman festival of cerealia and believed by some to have been the mythological antecedent of the fools errands

popular on april 1st.

british folklore linked april fools day to the town of

gotham. according to the legend, it was traditional in

the 13th century for any road that the king travelled

over to become public property. people in gotham

didnt want to lose their main road and spread a false

story to stop the king. a messenger was sent to

gotham after king john learned the peoples trick. but

when the messenger arrived in gotham he found the

town was full of lunatics who were engaged in foolish

activities such as drowning fish or attempting to cage

birds in roofless fences. the king fell for the hoax and

declared the town too foolish to warrant punishment. and ever since then, april fools day has supposedly commemmorated their trickery.

anthropological explanations

anthropologists and cultural historians provide their own explanations for the rise of april fools day. according to them, the celebration traces its roots back to festivals marking the springtime.

spring is the time of year when the weather becomes fickle, as if nature is playing tricks on man, and festivals occurring during the spring traditionally mirrored this sense of whimsy and surprise. they often involved temporary inversions of the social order. normal behavior no longer governed during the brief moment of transition as the old world died and the new cycle of seasons was born. practical jokes,trickery, and the turning upside down of status expectations were all allowed.

in addition,the linkage between april foolery and the springtime is seen in another story that traces the origin of the custom back to the abundance of fish to be found in french streams during early april when the young fish had just hatched. these young fish were easy to fool with a hook and lure. therefore, the french called them poisson davril or april fish. soon it became customary to fool people on april 1, as a way of celebrating the abundance of foolish fish.
