Late-Guāng-xù-era Qīng minor official and physician of Jiāngxià 江夏 (= Wǔhàn region, Húběi). Originally a cìshǐ 剌史 (prefect / district-magistrate), Shào abandoned his official career to practise medicine, holding daily half-day free clinics for the poor — his Xiǎoān yàowō 小安藥窩 (“Little Peaceful Medicine-Nest”) studio at Zhèngchéng 鄭城 (place uncertain — possibly Zhèngzhōu, Hénán) was the locus of his late-career writing. Claimed descent from 邵雍 Shào Yōng (Kāngjié 康節, 1011–1077). His son Shào Zhīgào 邵芝誥 held a xūcì 需次 appointment in Hubei. Composed KR3er102 Yīyì yīlǐ 醫易一理 in Guāngxù 23 / 1897 at over seventy suì, with prefaces by his in-law Wáng Jǐngyí (1898) and the Wǔ-hàn-based official Chén Qióng (1901). The work is one of the most philosophically ambitious late-Qīng zhōngxī huìtōng 中西匯通 (Sino-Western integrative medicine) projects, integrating Western anatomical knowledge with the Yìjīng hexagrammic apparatus. Best known by his hào Sìjiǔ jūshì 四九居士.
