Besides the special font, the content of calligraphy is special too. The article is one kind of Buddhist scripture --The great compassionate mantra. It originated in ancient India.

Hello Sing,

This artwork is really beautiful isn't it. I would be scared to use it as a fan, I think I would put it on the wall like a regular piece of art. If you have a verb as part of the subject of a verb or a verb after a preposition - in, on, about... - you should use the -ing form of the verb

Hope this helps
