He tokomaha ngā kaituhi hītori e whakapono ana i ahu mai ngā ahi ahi i te rautau tuarua BC i Liuyang tawhito, Haina. E whakaponohia ana ko ngā "ahi ahi" tūturu tuatahi he kakau pāpaka, ina whiua ki te ahi, ka pahū me te pakū nā te wera nui o ngā putunga hau tuwhera i roto i te pāpaka. I whakapono ngā Hainamana ka ārai ēnei "ahi ahi" tūturu i ngā wairua kino.

I te wā o te tau 600-900 AD, e ai ki te kōrero tuku iho i whakaranua e tētahi tohunga matū Hainamana te pāhare pākawa waro, te whanariki me te waro hei hanga i tētahi paura pango, pakarukaru – ko te "paura pū" tuatahi. I ringihia tēnei paura ki roto i ngā rākau pāpaka kua pokaia (ā, muri iho ka hangaia ngā pū ahi tuatahi i hangaia e te tangata.

I tae mai ngā ahi ahi ki Ūropi i te rautau 13, ā, i te rautau 15^thI te rautau kotahi, i whakamahia whānuitia ēnei mō ngā hakari whakapono me ngā whakangahau tūmatanui. Ko ngā Itari ngā Pākehā tuatahi ki te hanga ahi ahi, ā, i tino pai ngā rangatira Pākehā ki te whakamahi i ngā ahi ahi hei "whakamataku i ō rātou iwi me te whakamārama i ō rātou whare rangatira i ngā wā nui."

I mauria mai e ngā tāngata o mua o Amerika tō rātou aroha ki ngā ahi ahi ki te Ao Hou, ā, ko ngā ahi ahi he wāhanga o te Rā Motuhake tuatahi – he tikanga e mau tonu ana i ia 4 o Hūrae ina whakanuia ana e tātou pērā i tā John Adams i tumanako ai "me te whakahīhī, te parade….ngā ahi me ngā rama mai i tetahi pito o tēnei whenua ki tetahi pito." I tipu haere tonu te wairua whakanui o ngā Amerikana, ā, i te mutunga o te rautau 18^thI te rautau whakamutunga, i whakamahia e ngā kaitōrangapū ngā whakaaturanga hei kukume i te mano ki ā rātou whaikōrero.

I te 4 o Hūrae^thAhakoa te "rā nui" tonu, kei te whakamahi tonu ngā Amerikana i ngā ahi mura i te tau katoa hei whakanui i ngā hakari, i ngā huihuinga motuhake, me ngā tikanga hākinakina pēnei i ngā Olympics me te Super Bowl.

Ka puta te moni me te menemene hoki i ngā mahi whakangahau ahi.Whatitiri i Runga i a LouisvilleKo tētahi o ngā whakaaturanga ahi nui rawa atu o te motu, ā, i roto i tētahi rangahau ōhanga i whakahaerehia e te Derby Festival, i kitea e Thunder neke atu i te $56 miriona te moni e puta mai ana i te ohanga o te rohe.

Engari nui atu i ngā mea katoa, ina whakaaro koe ki ngā ahi ahi, ka whakaaro koe ki te Whā o Hūrae me te whakanui i te Mana Motuhake o tō tātou whenua. Kua noho ngā ahi ahi ki ngā Amerikana mai i te tīmatanga o tō tātou whenua, ā, koia te take ka haere tonu te mahi a te APA ki teTiakina, Whakatairangatia hoki te Tikanga Tuku Iho o Amerika!
