A foldable tent based on rigid folded paper comprises a foldable arched shed roof, a left curtain, a right curtain and a bottom plate. The deployable arched shed roof is formed by longitudinally splicing and combining a plurality of folding layers, and each folding layer comprises two deployable units which are symmetrically distributed; each extensible unit comprises a first isosceles trapezoid panel, a second isosceles trapezoid panel, a first right trapezoid panel, a second right trapezoid panel, a third isosceles trapezoid panel, a fourth isosceles trapezoid panel, a fifth isosceles trapezoid panel and a sixth isosceles trapezoid panel. The deployable arched shed roof is of an integrated structure, comprises hydrophobic cloth on the outer layer, a rigid panel on the middle layer and flame-retardant cloth on the inner layer, and is processed and manufactured through lamination forming. The deployable arched shed roof is completely unfolded into an arched semi-tube shape from a flat shape when being completely folded; the foldable tent does not need to be additionally covered with tarpaulin, after being unfolded, the foldable tent only needs to be fixed to the bottom plate, then the left curtain and the right curtain are installed, the foldable tent can be put into use, the building process is simple, and the speed is high.
