When did Jia Yi write "The Faults of Qin"?

Did Jia Yi live during the Qin dynasty?

Jia Yi wrote "The Faults of Qin" during the Han dynasty, between 206 BCE and 220 CE.

Jia Yi, a Chinese writer and politician, penned "The Faults of Qin" during the Han dynasty, a period that spanned between 206 BCE and 220 CE. In this political treatise, Jia Yi openly criticized the harsh rule of the Qin dynasty and highlighted the dangers of tyranny.

It is important to note that the Qin dynasty existed between 221 BCE and 206 BCE, which means Jia Yi's work was composed after the downfall of the Qin dynasty. Considering that Jia Yi lived during the Han dynasty and that dynasty ended in 220 CE, it is logical to deduce that "The Faults of Qin" was written within this timeframe.
