China ancient calligrapher, was Confucius a calligrapher?

No, calligraphers can only appear after the art of calligraphy takes shape. In the era of Confucius, there was no formed calligraphy. Speaking of the history of calligraphy, it may be traced back to Oracle Bone Inscriptions, but strictly speaking, it is a history of writing, not a history of calligraphy. It can't be said that the wizard who carved the turtle cover thousands of years ago was a calligrapher. . .
