Which dynasty did Chao Cuo come from?

Chao Cuo was from the Western Han Dynasty.

Chao Cuo (200 years ago-before 154), Han nationality, was born in Yingchuan (now Yuzhou, Henan), a politician and writer in the Western Han Dynasty. When Emperor Wendi was in power, he told too many stories about him. Later, he served as the prince Sheren, the doctor and the prince's family order. After Emperor Jingdi ascended the throne, he became a physician.

Chao Cuo has developed the policy of "emphasizing agriculture and restraining business", advocating that grain harvest should be rewarded, increasing agricultural production and revitalizing the economy; On the issue of resisting Xiongnu's invasion of the border, the strategic idea of "moving to the real border" was put forward, and it was suggested that herders enrich the frontier fortress and actively prepare for Xiongnu's attack and plunder; Politically, it is suggested to cut down governors and deprive them of political privileges to consolidate centralization, which harms the interests of governors. Representative works include Talking about Military Affairs, Guarding the Border and Persuading Agriculture, Talking about Your Millet, Good Countermeasures and so on.

In BC 169, the Huns invaded the border and the Imperial Road many times. Emperor Wen sent troops to crusade, and took the opportunity to give him a book on military affairs, and put forward the viewpoint of "controlling foreigners with foreigners", pointing out that in the battle with Xiongnu, the equipment should be sharp, the foot soldiers should be strong, the generals should be proficient in military affairs, and the monarch should mainly choose good generals.

Emperor Wen appreciated it and gave Chao Cuo letters as a reward, but he didn't take Chao Cuo's advice. Then, he went to Wendi's "Guarding the Border and Persuading Agriculture" and put forward economic measures to encourage immigrants to resist foreign invasion, which was adopted by Wendi.
