Shi Yijia studied as a candidate for the imperial examination at a young age. When he was a teenager, he studied medicine from herbalist 袁秦郵(Yuan Qinyou), “getting his pulse skills, concentrating on his utmost, and then learning through the mystery. Judgment on illnesses, dying or surviving, differentiation is identified immediately after taking the pulse.”. After his father returned from illness, he helped to treat his father's illness. To help to treat his parents' illness, he gave up the imperial examination to study medicine. After the establishment of the Qing dynasty, he gave up his possible official career, to cultivate and study for himself, and never enter the city all year round. When he was young, he studied medicine from the famous herbalist Yuan Qinyou, got the true medical skills of Yuan, and was good at pulse diagnosis. He is the author of the book Shang Han Zheng Zong (the authentic theory about the Treatise on Febrile Diseases), which is mainly a commentary on Zhang Zhongjing's writings, together with expositions by Xu Shuwei, Wang Haogu, and Pang Anshi. Shi Yijia advocates Zhongjing's studies, devoted himself to the theory of cold-induced disease, and devoted himself to the study of cold-induced disease.

Main books and academic thoughts:
In addition to studying medicine, 史以甲(Shǐ Yǐjiǎ) also studied astronomy, geography, and books from various schools. In addition to Shang Han Zheng Zong (the authentic theory about the Treatise on Febrile Diseases), his other books were recorded, there are 《文獻通考抄》(Wen Xian Tong Kao Chao),《學圃隨筆》(Xue Pu Sui Bi),《勾股籌算捷法》(Gou Gu Chou Suan Jie Fa),《廣吳淑事類賦》(Guang Wu Shu Shi Lei Fu), but these books were not handed down.
Shang Han Zheng Zong (the authentic theory about the Treatise on Febrile Diseases), is a work about the study of the cold-induced diseases, by Shi Yijia of the late Ming dynasty and the early Qing dynasty. The book was published during the Kangxi period and was published in Kangxi's 17th year(the year 1678 AD), the engraving and publishing were later in the Kangxi twenty-fourth year (the year 1685 AD). The spread is not wide and is sparse. As of today, there are only one copy of the Kangxi period and one copy of Edo in Japan. At present, there is only one copy in the library of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, which has become the only copy in China. The book mainly inherits Fang Youzhi and Yu Chang's theory about "re-edition and compilation" and "three outlines" theory, advocates to study Shang Han Lun(the Treatise on Cold-induced Diseases) using the syndromes as outlines, and uses clinical evidence as the reference of choosing and giving up historical annotations. In the annotations, the thought of interpreting the book with classics by Cheng Wuji is praised, and annotations on prescriptions are practical.
The commentary annotations of the book mainly use the method of interpreting the works with classics, and the commentary strives to be concise and short, and the essence of the herbalists of the past is used to supplement each entry, making the entries of Shang Han Lun(the Treatise on Cold-induced Diseases) concise and clear, which is very easy to understand and learn. It is a monograph that inherits and develops Zhongjing's theory.
