The custom of playing tricks on friends on April 1st is believed to have originated (发源于)in France in the middle of the 16th century.
Before that time,one calendar was used throughout Europe. Under this calendar,each new year began on April 1st. On that day,people celebrated by exchanging gifts and visiting each other.
Then in 1564,King Charles IX of France used a new calendar and ordered that each new year was to begin on January 1st. However,while most people followed their king’s order,there were some who did not like the idea of the change and refused to accept New Year’s Day.
These people soon became the butt (嘲笑的对象)of jokes and tricks by their friends and neighbours because they continued to observe(纪念,庆祝)April 1st as New Year’s Day.
