Well, I think it's a bit of a stretch to connect manga reincarnations with making paper. Maybe in some very creative and unique manga storyline, but generally, they have no direct relation.
There were many ways and processes to make colored lanterns. Using Zhixi Lantern as an example, he had to prepare bamboo strips, Xuan paper, cotton paper, papyrus paper, and other materials. The production process included: first, splitting bamboo strips, selecting four-year-old Yangshan bamboo according to different types, wiping with No. 0 gauze, and soaking the bamboo strips in water for a few hours after being placed for a long time; Then, making the lantern skeleton according to the pre-designed pattern and size; Then, it was carved on the flower board. Different patterns of the lantern were carved in different ways, such as carving the flower basket lamp pattern with the word "longevity". When carving, the paper was folded and small holes were made to prevent it from being out of shape before carving. Zigong Runchen Lantern Art Co., Ltd. had seven steps to make lanterns: first, the renderings, then the construction drawings, followed by lofting, welding, arranging the lights, color separation and papering, and finally, the decoration. If it was a modern technology like LED light carving, the production method only needed renderings, lofting, and finally tying the light belt to the steel frame. There was also a general method of making the lanterns: one was to prepare the metal materials. If the steel bars and thin iron wires used to make the lanterns were bent, they needed to be straightened by a drawing machine and then cut into suitable lengths of wire. The second was to make the skeleton. When the metal was used as the material, the skeleton needed to be made with the help of machinery. The iron wires were bent into various shapes and components and then the skeleton was made by welding. The third was to paste the satin on the surface of the skeleton. First, measure the size of the skeleton and cut the satin. The satin needed to be ironed flat. Then, use a strong glue to paste the fabric on the skeleton. The order was from the inside to the outside of the skeleton.
The color spinning process generally included raw material screening, dyeing, drying, grading, combing, stretching, twisting, and other processes. First, the high-quality raw materials were screened, and then the dyeing process was carried out to dye the raw materials into the required color. Then, drying, grading, combing, and other operations were carried out to ensure the quality of the colored yarn. Finally, the yarn was made finer and smoother through the stretching and twisting process to meet the required yarn specifications to meet the needs of different fabric production.

The common ones include bamboo strips, rice paper, cotton paper, grass paper, spider yarn, rice beads, colorful puppet heads, glass cups, colorful small balls, fire conches, copper (steel) silk, lantern bamboo, paste, buttons, coin paper, painting paper, crepe paper, colored paper, etc.] There were also modern materials used to make steel-framed lanterns. For example, Lu Junhua changed the pure hand-made and bamboo strips to different types of modern materials and matched them with silk to make lanterns. - ** Skeleton Creation ** - ** Bamboo strip processing **: The selection of bamboo strips is particular. If you choose four-year-old Yangshan bamboo, split it according to the types of half, one, two, three, five, etc., and then wipe off the edge with No. 0 gauze. After a long time, it needs to be soaked in water for a few hours. When making the skeleton, Peng Xianquan made the main frame of the lantern with more than 60 fixing points. It was necessary to ensure that the frame was square. When tying the lamp neck, bamboo strips should be folded into an arc; When Liu Dongming made the lantern skeleton, he should slowly bend the polished bamboo strips into a circle, and then sew the bamboo circle with sandpaper and paste. The bamboo used to build the lamp frame was generally bamboo that had grown for about two years, and the cutting size should be precise. - [Special Skeleton Crafting]: When making special lanterns such as dragon lanterns, you need to use metal wire, paper, and other materials to make dragon bones and scales. You also need special tools to cut and bend them for assembly. - ** Decorations ** - [Paper Carving Craftsmanship: Through folding, cutting, and sticking paper, the shape and pattern of the lantern can be created.] For example, in the process of carving the flower board in the production of Zhixi lanterns, the paper was stacked together, and the four corners of the holes were strung together with paper ropes to prevent them from going out of shape. Then, chisels of different shapes were used to carve according to the pattern. Different lamps had different patterns and carving methods. The colored paper pasted on the lamp wick could be carved hollowed-out. For example, the lamp wick made by Peng Xianquan had golden "Kirin Blessing", purple "Flowers Blooming Wealth", red "Flying Dragon in the Sky" and other carved colored papers. - Wood Carving Craftsmanship: Carving with wood, using tools such as planers, planers, and files to carve and trim the wood, and carefully carving various parts and patterns of the lantern, making the lantern full of three-dimensional and artistic. It is often used to make the frame or decorative parts of the lantern. - ** Silk Embroidery Craftsmanship **: Using embroidery techniques, using embroidery needles, embroidery thread, embroidery frames and other tools, the thread is embedded into the silk surface to embroider colorful lantern patterns. - Metal Casting Technique: It is commonly used to make the metal parts of lanterns, such as copper lamp bones and various decorations. It requires casting molds, furnaces, casting tools, etc., and the molten metal is poured into the mold to make the parts. - ** Paper Cutting Craftsmanship **: Using scissors, paper cutting knives, and other tools to cut and carve paper, creating fine lantern patterns and light transmission effects. - ** Other processes ** - ** Pasting process **: For example, Liu Dongming pasted colored paper on the frame of the lantern to form the lantern. - ** Finishing process **: When Peng Xianquan made the lantern, the lantern neck was pasted with dragon and phoenix paper, the lamp cover was pasted with decal paper, and the lamp skirt was pasted with auspicious paper. The lantern was made of red, yellow, purple, and green wrinkled paper and hung on the corner of the lantern. - ** Making a lantern **: The finishing touch of Peng Xianquan's lantern was the lantern in the wick. Two iron wires were used to fix the electric lamp in the middle of the wick. Then, a self-made paper lampshade (a cylinder with a button on the top) was used to cover the lamp. After the lamp was energized, the lantern would spin non-stop. - There was also the production of feather lanterns: first, the small lanterns were stacked into the shape of stamens, wrapped up and fixed in the plastic bottle mouth. The outer layer was longer than the inner layer, and then the feathers were glued layer by layer according to the order of the feathers from small to big. The length of the feathers and the shape of the stamens could be adjusted at any time. Finally, beads and tassels were added. - [New Craftsmanship: Lu Junhua used modern methods to carry out computer design and program processing. He created and improved the traditional craftsmanship of lanterns and made modern lanterns.]
