Hoax stories may be reported by the press and other media on this day and explained later. 愚人節(jié)也稱也稱萬(wàn)愚節(jié)愚人節(jié)也稱也稱萬(wàn)愚節(jié) 。一種說(shuō)法認(rèn)為這一習(xí)俗源自印度的。一種說(shuō)法

3、認(rèn)為這一習(xí)俗源自印度的 “詮俚節(jié)詮俚節(jié)”。該節(jié)規(guī)定，每年三月三十一日的節(jié)日這天，不分男。該節(jié)規(guī)定，每年三月三十一日的節(jié)日這天，不分男 女老幼，可以互開(kāi)玩笑、互相愚弄欺騙以換得娛樂(lè)。另一種較普 遍的說(shuō)法是起源于法國(guó)。遍的說(shuō)法是起源于法國(guó)。15641564年，法國(guó)首先采用新改革的紀(jì)年年，法國(guó)首先采用新改革的紀(jì)年 法法格里歷格里歷( (即目前通用的陽(yáng)歷即目前通用的陽(yáng)歷) )，以一月一日為一年的開(kāi)端，以一月一日為一年的開(kāi)端， 改變了過(guò)去以四月一日作為新年開(kāi)端的歷法。新歷法推行過(guò)程中， 一些因循守舊的人反對(duì)這種改革仍沿襲舊歷，拒絕更新。他們依 舊在四月一日這天互贈(zèng)禮物，組織慶祝新年的活動(dòng)。主張改革的 人

4、對(duì)這些守舊者的做法大加嘲弄。聰明滑稽的人在四月一日這天 給頑固派贈(zèng)送假禮物，邀請(qǐng)他們參加假慶祝會(huì)，并把這些受愚弄 的人稱為的人稱為“四月傻瓜四月傻瓜”或或“上鉤之魚(yú)上鉤之魚(yú)”。所以每年四月一日，是。所以每年四月一日，是 西方的民間傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日西方的民間傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日愚人節(jié)愚人節(jié) 。 愚人節(jié)賀卡愚人節(jié)賀卡 參加魚(yú)宴的帖，通常是用紙板做成的彩色小 魚(yú)。餐桌用綠、白兩色裝飾起來(lái)中間放上 魚(yú)缸和小巧玲瓏的釣魚(yú)竿，每個(gè)釣竿上系一 條綠色飄帶，掛著送給客人的禮物或是 魚(yú)形工藝品，或是一個(gè)裝滿糖果的魚(yú)籃子。 愚人節(jié)習(xí)俗愚人節(jié)習(xí)俗 - 4月1日的魚(yú)宴 不言而喻，魚(yú)宴上所有的菜都是用魚(yú)做 成。宴會(huì)上,主人端上以魚(yú)為原料精

5、心 烹制的菜肴，煎炸烤燒，應(yīng)有盡有。根 據(jù)傳統(tǒng)風(fēng)俗，主人往往在宴會(huì)上給客人 們做假菜，這種假菜宴更增添了輕松歡 快的節(jié)日氣氛。宴會(huì)結(jié)束后，主人以糖 果招待客人，不過(guò)，糖果不是放在果盤(pán) 中，而是放在藥盒里。 愚人節(jié)的象征 黃水仙是愚人節(jié)的象征。愚人節(jié)時(shí)，人們常 常組織家庭聚會(huì)，用水仙花和雛菊把房間裝飾一 新。典型的傳統(tǒng)做法是布置假環(huán)境，可以把房間 布置得象過(guò)圣誕節(jié)一樣。 也可以布置得象過(guò)新 年一樣，待客人來(lái)時(shí)， 則祝賀他們“圣誕快樂(lè) ” 或“新年快樂(lè)”，令人 None is a fool always, every one sometimes. 沒(méi)有終身的傻瓜, 也沒(méi)有終身不當(dāng)傻瓜的人。 If
