Chen Jingke had already guessed that they would have such a misunderstanding, and explained: "No, it is dead, and we can only make rigid basic judgments based on the settings given to it."
Seeing that several people still looked confused, he thought for a while and said, "Let's just say, there is a medical book here."
"We tell the book where we feel uncomfortable, and the book will automatically help us turn to the page related to these diseases."
"But the causes of symptoms that appear to be the same may be completely different. There is no way to judge these medical books. We can only find out all related diseases and let people determine which one it is."
"The key is that this book was written by a human being. It only has the ability to turn pages. It can neither write a book out of thin air nor judge whether it is right or wrong."
Everyone nodded to show their understanding, but even this was shocking enough.
Li Shimin stared at the phone and asked, "Is this also made by your family elders?"
Chen Jingke nodded and said: "Yes, this is the only mobile phone in the world. The person who made it is no longer here. No one can make a second one."
Li Shimin was not surprised by this answer and asked: "Is there a whole medical book in it?"
Chen Jingke shook his head and said: "No, it only contains some very simple maintenance knowledge, which can only be used as auxiliary treatment."
"For those who are surrounded by doctors, it doesn't matter whether they have this thing or not. It is mainly prepared for people who are inconvenient to see doctors."
"For example, when traveling now, or joining the army to fight, etc., it will be helpful to bring it with you."
Li Shimin immediately thought of the Chen family's ocean-going expeditions. It was estimated that this thing was originally intended for those people, but it failed for some reason and was later passed on to Chen Jingke.
He asked again: "In that case, can you write the entire medical book in it?"
Chen Jingke said: "No, I can only use it but I can't input anything into it."
Li Shimin was disappointed and said: "I see, then you can tell me how it helped me recover."
Chen Jingke pulled up the menu and read through the suggestions mentioned above.
In fact, it’s pretty much the same as what I said before. The main thing is to exercise properly, have a normal schedule, avoid arrogance and impatience, and keep a happy mood.
The dietary therapy plan is not much different from what Sun Simiao said. At most, the food eaten is different. For example, it says that onions can also lower blood pressure.
Onions are diuretics and can lower blood pressure.
Considering that this thing originated from West Asia and was introduced to China via the Silk Road, it should have spread to the Western Regions by this time.
Well, Li Shimin has another reason to attack the Western Regions.
Everyone was paying attention to the medical plan given by the Jiankang app on their mobile phones. Changsun Wugou, who was sitting next to him, looked at the words on it in surprise, but she did not say anything immediately.
It wasn't until Chen Jingke finished his introduction that she said, "Jingke, what's the word?"
Chen Jingke said: "Oh, this is simplified Chinese characters. My tribe felt that the current writing strokes were too many and were not conducive to dissemination, so they simplified them."
Li Shimin didn't expect this to happen, so he said with great interest: "Oh, simplified characters? Let me see."
Changsun Wuji on the side was also very curious, but he restrained his curiosity very well.
Chen Jingke came over and handed the phone to him. Li Shimin took it awkwardly and saw that the words on it were indeed very concise.
He was surprised at first, but soon he frowned and said, "Wouldn't the word lose its original meaning in this way?"
Chen Jingke was not surprised by what he said. This kind of debate exists in the 21st century, let alone now.
He did not argue, but asked: "What are words used for?"
Li Shimin said: "Of course it is used to record..." At this point, he suddenly paused, and then said:
"I understand what you are thinking, but have you ever thought that each word has its own unique meaning, and if it changes, it will lose its original meaning."
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "First there were bronze inscriptions, then it evolved into small seal script, then it evolved into official script, and then there were regular script, running script and so on."
"If you want its original meaning, then everyone should write bronze inscriptions. Why write regular script? Oh no, before bronze inscriptions there was Shang oracle bone inscriptions, which is the earliest writing."
Bronze inscriptions were unearthed during the Han Dynasty and are important materials for studying pre-Qin history.
Ancient epigraphers not only studied the unearthed artifacts, but also the inscriptions on them, otherwise their status would not be so high.
As for the oracle bone inscriptions, they were not discovered until the Qing Dynasty.
Li Shimin heard that there were Yin and Shang oracle bone inscriptions before bronze inscriptions. He was very excited and said: "Wait a minute, you said Yin and Shang oracle bone inscriptions? What kind of writing is that? Have you seen it?"
Chen Jingke said: "I've seen it before. During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there was no paper. People used to carve characters on oracle bones, so it's called oracle bone inscriptions."
Li Shimin asked: "Where did you find it, and is it still available now?"
What Chen Jingke was waiting for was your words: "Yes, it is buried in the soil, but I only know the approximate location. I still need to search for the details."
Li Shimin immediately said: "It doesn't matter, just have a rough location. I'll send someone to find it."
The Yin Shang Dynasty has always existed only in legends. If the oracle bone inscriptions from that period come out, it will have great political significance.
Chen Jingke did not continue to discuss the oracle bone inscriptions, but said: "Writing has undergone at least five evolutions to form what it is now."
"If our ancestors had the same idea as His Majesty, we would still be using oracle bone script now, instead of regular script and running script."
"Why did the sages improve writing? Because it is too cumbersome to write. Every improvement is actually a simplification. Why can't we do what the sages have been doing?"
"Writing is a carrier, just a symbol used to record our language. Its meaning is given by humans, and it can naturally be improved to make it more convenient."
"We should invent and create tools instead of being limited by the tools we invent. Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?"
Li Shimin didn't have the time to argue with him on this issue, and said: "Okay, I can't argue with you. But if you want to promote simplified Chinese characters in the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Chen Jingke said helplessly: "I haven't thought about promoting it now, but I believe that one day simplified Chinese characters will become mainstream."
Li Shimin said noncommittally: "It is good to have this determination."
He looked at the mobile phone in his hand, hesitated for a while and finally returned it to Chen Jingke, saying, "This thing needs to be hidden so that no one can take it away."
Chen Jingke took it, turned it off, put it in his arms, and said, "Don't worry, I hid it very well. When Xiao Sizi comes over in the future, I'll ask her to help hide it."
Li Shimin was very satisfied with his attitude and said, "Then you can wait. Well, you have to wait at least five years."
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I'm still young and can afford to wait for five years."
Then the topic returned to his illness, and Sun Simiao formally gave the treatment method. He should meditate for fifteen days without doing anything.
A prescription for medicine and a dietary diet were also prescribed, and he would enter the palace once every day until Li Shimin fully recovered.
But things would not end so simply. After the medicine was prescribed, Sun Simiao and Chen Jingke went next door to rest.
Li Shimin, a patient, cannot rest yet, he wants to deal with the consequences of this matter.
