愚人节的来历
[20XX-03-3117:

马上就要愚人节了。
关于这个节日的来源有各种不同的说法,有人说与一群不愿接受公历纪年的法国保守者有关;也有人说它来源于纪念丰收女神的女儿被诱拐到地狱;还有人说,这个节日始于英国一个名叫“愚人村”的天才村民;另一些说法则认为春天的天气变化无常,因此人们在春分前后可以选择某一日颠倒乾坤,以荒诞的闹剧来迎接春神的到来……
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!

愚人节的习俗在美国是很流行的,在欧洲国家如法国和英国就更是如此了.虽然这种愚弄人习俗的起源不甚清楚,但法国人和英国人却都声称这种庆祝活动是由他们开始的.

有一种说法是,第一个愚人节始于法国新历法实行那年的4月1日,在这一天法国国王宣布实行新历法.这种新历法将过去的新的一年第一天定在4月1日.很多人却不愿意按新的历法行事,还继续在根据新的历法已经是4月的第一天庆祝新年,于是他们就成了第一批愚人.另一些人开始在这一天送恶作剧的礼物来取笑那些继续在4月1日庆祝新年的人.

关于这一天,英国的一个故事则说它是始于13世纪的某一天.那时,英格兰的约翰国王习惯于将他经常走的几乎每一条小道都修成一条路.有一个乡村的居民知道了这个情况.为了保护他们绿色的草地和牧场免受国王修路所造成的破坏,他们修了一道篱笆来阻挡国王在他们的乡间穿行.国王派了一队使者去通报村民们必须拆除障碍.在听到国王打算这么做时,村民们也想出了自己的办法.当使者到达时,他们看到这儿的人像一群疯子似的,样子怪诞,乱扔东西,四下疯跑.使者们惊讶于他们看到的情景,向约翰国王报告说,这些人疯得厉害根本没法处罚.村民们就这样骗过了国王,保护了自己的农田.在英国,按习俗在4月1日只允许从半夜
到中午的这段时间可以搞愚人的恶作剧,到下午还这么做的人就成了愚人了.
