It is thought that this custom have started in 16th century in France. In 1582 King Charles IX adopted a change in the calendar. The “new year” celebration was moved from April 1st to Jan 1st. The people who knew about the change began to make fun of the ones who did not know. These people were called “fools”. 1582年，法国国王查理九世决定采用新改革的纪年法——格里高利历（即通用的阳历），以元旦为一年的开始，改变了过去以四月一日为新年的开端。但一些守旧派反对这种改革，依然按照旧的历法在这天送新年礼，庆祝新年。聪明滑稽的人在四月一日就给他们送假礼品，邀请他们参加假招待会．并把上当受骗的保守分子称为“四月傻瓜”或“上钩的鱼”。 从此人们在4月1日便互相愚弄，成为法国流行的风俗。18世纪初，愚人节习俗传到英国，接着又被英国的早期移民带到了美国。 In France, people call the April Fools “April Fish”. They tape a paper fish to their friends backs to fool them.
