He wrote a book Dongyi Suse Bowon: Longevity and Life Preservation in Eastern Medicine (동의수세보원; 東醫壽世保元) in 1894. The book is about constitution of people. He claimed that because each person's natural constitution is different, the same disease must be treated differently.[1]
Yi was born as a love child of Jinsa Yi Ban-Oh. As his family was prominent in Hamhung, Yi was able to receive education of sinology, however it was impossible for him to overcome the restrictions of class. Yi wanted to attend the military examination of Gwageo and become a military officer. But, he started his study for diseases as he often suffered from inveterate illness.[2]
