What is DeepSeek?
DeepSeek is a “generative” AI application developed by Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Basic Technology Research Co., Ltd. In simple terms, DeepSeek is a tool that helps you find information, characterized by being “fast, accurate, and intelligent”.
For example, it can serve as your health assistant, providing chronic disease management advice, wellness recipes, etc.; as your life helper, assisting in writing notices, planning travel routes, solving home decoration issues; and as your interest mentor, teaching you mobile photography, calligraphy, new square dance tracks, etc. Moreover, DeepSeek is free to use, allowing you to ask questions freely.
How to Ask Questions to DeepSeek?
The following video is sourced from Zhejiang Elderly Cadres.
Next, combining with the upcoming Lantern Festival, let’s follow the editor to ask DeepSeek various questions to make this Lantern Festival more memorable and fun!
Scenario 1: Cooking a Nutritious and Delicious Family Feast
Question Angle 1: Ask based on the personalized needs of family members.
Question Angle 2: Ask based on existing ingredients or kitchen conditions.
I: Please plan a Lantern Festival menu for a family of 9 with 3 children, 2 elderly, and 2 couples.
DeepSeek: When designing a menu for a family reunion during the Lantern Festival, it is necessary to consider nutritional balance, suitable textures, and festive atmosphere. Here is a carefully matched plan of eight dishes, one soup, and one staple food…
I: I only have pork, sausage, yellow flower fish, white cut chicken, cauliflower, broccoli, and celery at home. Please design a family feast menu suitable for 6 people based on these ingredients.
DeepSeek: Based on the ingredients you provided, I have designed a family feast menu suitable for 6 people, which fully utilizes the existing ingredients and balances meat and vegetables with diverse flavors…
Scenario 2: Sending Elegant Lantern Festival Blessings
I: Please write 3 sentences of Lantern Festival blessings suitable for children and younger generations.
DeepSeek: 1. Dear baby, the Lantern Festival is here. May you be as round and full as the lanterns, as dazzling as the flower lanterns, and grow happily with academic progress!
2. On this Lantern Festival, may your childhood be as colorful as the flower lanterns, and may your dreams be as sweet and complete as the lanterns. Happy holidays, baby!
3. Little darling, the Lantern Festival is here. May you be sweet every day like the lanterns and bright like the flower lanterns, growing up healthy and happy!
Scenario 3: Planning an Unforgettable Lantern Festival Outing
I: Please design a Lantern Festival spring outing for a family of 5 with elderly and students, with the outing location in Hangzhou, focusing on outdoor activities, and can include cultural sites.
DeepSeek: Hangzhou Lantern Festival Spring Outing
In the morning, visit the plum blossoms at Gu Hill in West Lake, have lunch at Lou Wai Lou, and after lunch, take a stroll at the nearby Xiling Seal Engraving Society.
In the afternoon, enjoy the fish at Huagang and admire flowers such as peonies and cherry blossoms. You can rent a boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery of West Lake and enjoy a leisurely time.
In the evening, stroll along Hefang Street and Wushan Square, admire the lanterns, and taste Hangzhou’s special snacks, such as Ding Sheng Cake, and buy some local specialties like Longjing tea and silk as souvenirs or gifts. You can also guess lantern riddles, watch performances, and experience the charm of traditional culture.
Below, I will introduce some advanced questioning techniques.
DeepSeek Questioning Techniques
Excellent Questioning Templates
-
Formula: Scenario + Specific Requirements Example: 🌟 General Question: “How to learn to use a mobile phone?”
-
✅ Improved Question:
“I just switched to a Huawei phone and want to learn the basic operations: 1. How to increase the font size? 2. How to connect to WiFi? Please explain step by step in simple terms.”
1. Be as Specific as Possible When Asking
When asking DeepSeek, the more specific, the better. Here, I have distilled a more general questioning template for everyone to refer to when asking:
Identity role of the questioner + duration (if any) + location (if any) + desired outcome (e.g., a travel guide/recipe/work report/10 New Year blessing phrases).
Elements of the question can be flexibly adjusted based on actual needs, for example: Please formulate a half-year sprint review plan for the high school entrance examination for the third-year students in Zhejiang (location) (identity role).
2. Supplement Information to Optimize Answers
If you are not satisfied with the initial answer, you can optimize it by adding details or adjusting the style. For example, you can add “please include a comparison effect before and after use” or adjust it to “replace it with a more colloquial/formal/literary expression”.
Practical Case Library:
| Scenario | Common Question Examples | Improved Question Demonstration |
| Health | “What to do for leg pain?” | “For a 70-year-old with knee pain, what soothing exercises can be done at home? List 3 actions and explain precautions.” |
| Family | “Recommend travel destinations.” | “An elderly couple with a 5-year-old grandson traveling in July with a budget of 5000 yuan for 5 days, recommend 3 domestic destinations that are cool and can play in the water.” |
| Interests | “Learn mobile photography.” | “Teach me how to use an OPPO phone to photograph lotus flowers: from basic settings to composition techniques, explained in 5 steps.” |
