Urgent! Help plan a Spring Festival English tabloid for fifth grade primary school students

There is a widely circulated story about New Year’s money. In ancient times, there was a little demon called "Sui" who would go out on New Year's Eve and touch the heads of sleeping children. The children would often be frightened and cry, then get headaches and fever, and turn into fools. Therefore, every family would sit up and stay awake with the lights on on this day, which is called "keeping evil spirits at bay".

A couple had a son in old age, whom they regarded as their darling. On New Year's Eve, they were afraid that "evil spirits" would harm their children, so they took out eight copper coins to play with their children. When the child was tired from playing and fell asleep, they wrapped eight copper coins in red paper and placed them under the child's pillow. The couple did not dare to close their eyes. In the middle of the night, a gust of dark wind blew open the door and blew out the lights. As soon as "Sui" reached out to touch the child's head, a flash of light burst out from the side of the pillow, which scared "Sui" and ran away. The next day, the couple told everyone how to wrap eight copper coins in red paper to scare away the "evil spirit". In the future, if everyone learns to do this, the children will be fine.

It turns out that the eight copper coins were transformed by the Eight Immortals and came to protect the child secretly. Because "祟" sounds homophonic to "Sui", it gradually evolved into "New Year's money". In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, "money woven into the shape of a dragon was woven through colorful ropes, which was called lucky money. Those who were given to children by their elders were also called lucky money." Therefore, in some places, the New Year's money given to children is called "string money." In modern times, it evolved into a red paper package with one hundred copper coins given to the younger generation, which means "long life." For the grown-up juniors, a silver dollar is placed in the red paper bag, which means "everything will make a lot of money". After the currency was changed to banknotes, the elders liked to go to the bank to exchange new banknotes with the face numbers connected for their children, wishing their children "continuous promotion". One day, Ten Thousand Years went up the mountain to collect firewood, and sat under the tree to rest, with the shadow of the tree shadow. Inspired by the movement, he made a sundial to measure the sun's shadow and calculate the length of the day. However, the sky was cloudy and foggy, which affected the measurement. He wanted to make another timekeeping device to make up for the shortcomings of the sundial. That day, he went up the mountain to dig medicine and came to the spring to drink water. The rhythmic ticking of the spring water on the cliff caught his attention. He thought about it for a while, then returned home and painted. He drew a picture, tried it, and made a five-layer clepsydra. From then on, he measured the sun's shadow and looked for water leaks. Gradually, he found that the length of the day would change again every three hundred and sixty days. Repeat it. The shortest day is at the winter solstice. The emperor at that time was called Zu Yi. He was very anxious and called the officials to discuss the disorder. Not knowing the laws of the sun and the moon, he said that people had offended the gods by doing things carelessly. Only by kneeling sincerely could they be forgiven by the gods. Zu Yi led all the officials to worship in the Temple of Heaven and preached the message. All over the country, altars were set up to offer sacrifices to heaven.

But the sacrifices came and went without any results, and the seasons were still chaotic. People everywhere had to serve and donate money to build altars, which was really painful. Wannian couldn't bear it anymore, so he took his sundial and clepsydra to see the emperor. He told Zu Yi about the winter solstice and the cycle of the sun and the moon. After that, he was so happy that he ordered a lot of construction work, built the Sun and Moon Pavilion in front of the Temple of Heaven, built a sundial platform, and built a leaky pot pavilion. He also assigned twelve boys to serve for ten thousand years, and six boys were allowed to keep the sundial. Keep the leaky pot, record carefully, and report on time.

One day, Zu Yi asked A Heng to go to the Riyue Pavilion to inquire about the calendar production. Wannian pointed to the cursive calendar and said: "The sun rises and sets three hundred and six times, and the cycle begins again and again. Start over. There are four seasons of vegetation and trees, and there are twelve circles in one year. "When Ah Heng heard this, he felt that it was right, but he felt uneasy in his heart. He thought to himself: If the emperor is happy and reuses the festival for ten thousand years, who will listen to me, Ah Heng? Ah Heng thinks and thinks, He wanted to get rid of Wan Nian.

That day, Ah Heng found out about a sharpshooter who was good at shooting, so he sent someone to invite him to his home, held a banquet, explained the reason, and promised to give him a big gift that night. He went to carry out the assassination. The assassin took advantage of the drunkenness and left Ah Heng and rushed towards the Riyue Pavilion. However, there were guards guarding the Riyue Pavilion around the Temple of Heaven. The assassin could not get close, so he drew his bow and arrowed towards the Riyue Pavilion. Wan Nian was watching the stars and shot towards him. Unexpectedly, the assassin drank too much and his eyes were dizzy. The arrow only hit Wan Nian's arm. Wan Nian fell to the ground with a cry. The guards heard the cry. , went out together, caught the assassin, and saw the emperor.

Zu Yi asked for the truth, sent an order to put A Heng in prison, and immediately left the palace to visit Wannian Fei. Moved, he pointed at Shen Xing and said: "Shen Xing has caught up with the Silkworm Star, and the stars have recovered. At the end of the night, the old year is over, and spring has begun again. Let's hope that the emperor will set a festival.

"

Zu Yi said: "Spring is the beginning of the year, so let's call it the Spring Festival. Ai Qing entered the palace and stayed there for three years. He worked hard and worked hard to create the lunar calendar based on the full moon. He was really meritorious and virtuous. Now that my beloved has been plotted by a traitor, please follow me to the palace to recuperate. ”
