Preserving Ancient Melodies: Technology Enhances Heritage

Amidst the profound and multifaceted cultural tapestry of China, ancient music stands as a precious gem, an indispensable vehicle for culture. While ancient architecture, calligraphy, and paintings can be glimpsed through archaeological discoveries, the transmission of ancient music is more intricate, primarily relying on musical notations and the imagination evoked by relics. This raises a pertinent question: how can we revive traditional instruments and notations, making the sonic details of bygone eras audible once more, capturing the attention of society?

On January 3rd, 2024, Huawei and Southern Weekend released "Ancient Melodies, New Voices," a video showcasing the marriage of technology and culture. Through the pristine sound quality of the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3, the video enables viewers to experience the captivating charm of ancient Chinese music firsthand.

The video chronicles the journey of Meng Xiaojie, a renowned B music influencer and young dizi flautist, as she delves into the ancient melodies at the Henan Museum. She marvels at the museum's prized possession, the Jiahu bone flute, alongside a myriad of other ancient musical instruments. Utilizing the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3, Meng discerns the subtle nuances of each instrument, collaborating with the Henan Museum's Huaxia Ancient Music Orchestra to perform a flawless rendition of "Plum Blossom Three Variations" (newly arranged), infusing ancient melodies with a fresh and vibrant sound.

This collaboration between Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 and "Ancient Melodies, New Voices" marks not only an intersection of technology and culture but also Huawei's bold endeavor to leverage cutting-edge audio technology in the preservation and innovation of ancient Chinese music. The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3, with its pristine sound quality, unveils the intricate sonic details of ancient instruments, conveying the pure and unalloyed melodies of antiquity. This shatters conventional perceptions of ancient music, allowing a wider audience to appreciate its captivating allure through the lens of modern technology.

The exceptional sound quality of the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 is attributed to its integration with the novel Kirin A2 chip and the proprietary L2HC 3.0 protocol. The synergy of these technologies empowers the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 with the industry's first 1.5Mbps lossless audio transmission, guaranteeing high fidelity throughout the audio transmission process. Furthermore, the incorporation of High-Definition Spatial Audio 2.0 technology enhances sound localization, delivering an immersive listening experience.

Beyond its sonic prowess, the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 boasts upgrades in other areas, such as Smart Dynamic Noise Cancellation 3.0, Quiet Call 2.0, and the HarmonyOS 4 Smart Experience.

Smart Dynamic Noise Cancellation 3.0 intelligently adjusts noise cancellation levels based on the user's acoustic environment, ensuring an optimal listening experience in any setting. Quiet Call 2.0 utilizes a high-sensitivity bone conduction pickup microphone (VPU) to precisely capture the user's voice via skull vibrations, significantly reducing environmental noise interference. Additionally, the integration of a multi-channel DNN algorithm enables more intelligent noise cancellation, capable of frequency-band-specific noise reduction based on multiple sources of information. This preserves more vocal details, resulting in clearer calls, even in windy conditions with speeds up to 9 m/s. The HarmonyOS 4 Smart Experience, powered by the HarmonyOS 4 system, facilitates seamless device connectivity and intelligent interaction, offering practical features such as timely travel itinerary reminders. This convergence of music and technological convenience enhances the user experience.

The launch of "Ancient Melodies, New Voices" not only underscores Huawei's leadership in the audio technology domain but also reflects its commitment, as a socially responsible enterprise, to the preservation and innovation of traditional culture. The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3, with its exceptional audio performance, opens new avenues for the and innovation of ancient Chinese music. This collaboration showcases the immense potential of harmonizing traditional culture with modern technology and exemplifies the pivotal role that technology can play in safeguarding and revitalizing cultural heritage.
