Bamboo Lantern Making Techniques The making of Wan'an bamboo lanterns starts on the 12th day of the first lunar month. The bamboo cut after the beginning of autumn is used to break the bamboo strips into strips, and then tie and paste various lanterns. There are many styles of bamboo lanterns, and the production process is complicated, including eight steps: material selection, breaking the strips, tying the frame, pasting the mulberry, cutting the pattern, pasting and mounting, trimming, and installing the lamp holder. The bamboo lanterns are purely handmade. The bamboo lanterns bear witness to the rich cultural heritage of Zhuguan Village and also reflect the wisdom and ingenuity of the people of Zhuguan.
