A Chinese artist named Wang Lingxian uses a spoon to create impressive calligraphy in central China.

The video, shot in Zhengzhou, central China's Henan Province on September 25, shows Wang using a spoon instead of a brush to write "long live the nation" in Chinese characters on paper.

Later he showed his spoon to the camera and explained how he uses the different parts to write characters.

According to the filmer, Wang was inspired by chopstick calligraphy he saw on TV and started to write with a spoon from 1999. He transformed the spoon into his writing tool and applied for a patent for it in 2000.

9月25日，在河南省郑州市的一个家属院内，正在举办一场书法展览，王灵贤老师的勺笔书法更是得到居民阵阵掌声和点赞。王老师所用的勺子就是普通的吃饭用的腰子，写字的时候分主峰和侧峰，写字时维俏维妙，一气哈成。
