Alright, so, let’s talk about this “zhezhi materials” thing I got into recently. You know, I’ve always been kind of curious about that traditional Chinese paper folding, origami, whatever you wanna call it. I thought I’d give it a shot. I heard something about this game, “Wuthering Waves,” and some character named Zhezhi, and that got me thinking about the materials needed for this kind of stuff.
So, first off, I needed to find out what I actually needed. I went online, did a bit of searching, and saw a bunch of guides about Zhezhi in this “Wuthering Waves” game. Apparently, there’s this thing called “ascension” and you need specific items for it. One of them is something called “Lanternberries”. I’m not really into gaming, but these guides were talking about the best way to build up this Zhezhi character, with “Echoes” and “weapons” and whatnot. It was all pretty confusing, but it gave me an idea of the stuff people collect for this kind of thing.
Then I started digging into the actual paper folding part, and man, it’s a whole different world. It seemed like the kind of paper you use is a big deal. I read that the thickness of the paper changes what you can fold. If it’s too thin, it can tear easily, but if it’s too thick, you can’t make those complicated folds. There’s all this talk about using “super thin” paper to make lots of layers without it being too bulky.
So, I decided to get my hands on some paper and just try it out. I didn’t bother with anything fancy, just some regular paper I had lying around. I figured, I’m a beginner, so why complicate things? I started with some simple folds, just trying to get a feel for it. It wasn’t as easy as it looked in those videos, let me tell you. My folds were all crooked, and the paper kept creasing in the wrong places.
After messing around for a while, I realized I needed to be a bit more organized. I found some basic diagrams online, nothing too crazy, just some simple shapes to start with. I tried to follow the steps carefully, folding and unfolding, trying to get those crisp lines everyone talks about. It was frustrating at times, but slowly, I started to get the hang of it. My folds were still a bit messy, but I could see some progress.
I kept practicing, trying different folds, different shapes. I even tried using some thinner paper I found, just to see how it would be different. It was definitely trickier, but I could see how it might be useful for more complex designs. I’m still not great at it, but I’m getting there. It’s kind of relaxing, you know? Just focusing on the folds, the paper, the process. It’s a nice way to unwind.
I’m thinking of trying some more advanced stuff soon, maybe those intricate designs I saw online. I might even look into getting some proper origami paper. This whole “zhezhi materials” thing has turned into a bit of a hobby, I guess. It’s funny how things work out sometimes. You start by reading about some game character, and next thing you know, you’re folding paper like a pro. Well, almost a pro.
Here are some tips if you wanna try it out:
- Start with simple folds. Don’t try to jump into the complicated stuff right away.
- Use paper you don’t mind messing up. You’re gonna make mistakes, it’s part of the process.
- Find some good diagrams or videos online. There are tons of resources out there for beginners.
- Be patient. It takes time to get good at this. Don’t get discouraged if your first few attempts look like a crumpled mess.
- Have fun! It’s supposed to be enjoyable, so don’t take it too seriously.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure with “zhezhi materials.” Who knows where it’ll take me next? Maybe I’ll become a master paper folder. Or maybe I’ll just stick to making paper airplanes. Either way, it’s been a fun ride so far.
