愚人节的起源
愚人节也称也称万愚节 。一种说法认为这一习俗源自印度的“诠俚节”。该节规定,每年三月三十一日的节日这天,不分男女老幼,可以互开玩笑、互相愚弄欺骗以换得娱乐。另一种较普遍的说法是起源于法国。1564年,法国首先采用新改革的纪年法——格里历(即目前通用的阳历),以一月一日为一年的开端,改变了过去以四月一日作为新年开端的历法。新历法推行过程中,一些因循守旧的人反对这种改革仍沿袭旧历,拒绝更新。他们依旧在四月一日这天互赠礼物,组织庆祝新年的活动。主张改革的人对这些守旧者的做法大加嘲弄。聪明滑稽的人在四月一日这天给顽固派赠送假礼物,邀请他们参加假庆祝会,并把这些受愚弄的人称为“四月傻瓜”或“上钩之鱼”。所以每年四月一日,是西方的民间传统节日——愚人节 。
