Izazi-mlando eziningi zikholelwa ukuthi ekuqaleni iziqhumane zakhiwa ngekhulu lesibili BC eLiuyang yasendulo, eShayina. Kukholelwa ukuthi “iziqhumane” zokuqala zemvelo kwakuyiziqu ze-bamboo okwakuthi uma ziphonswa emlilweni, ziqhume ngomsindo ngenxa yokushisa ngokweqile kwamaphakethe omoya angenalutho ku-bamboo. AmaShayina ayekholelwa ukuthi lezi “ziqhumane” zemvelo zazizoxosha imimoya emibi.

Esikhathini esithile phakathi nenkathi ka-600-900 AD, inganekwane ithi isazi se-alchemist saseShayina saxuba i-potassium nitrate, i-sulfur kanye namalahle ukuze sikhiqize i-powder emnyama, enamaqhubu - "i-gunpowder" yokuqala. Le mpuphu yathululelwa ezintini ze-bamboo ezigobile (kanye namapayipi ephepha aqinile kamuva) okwenza iziqhumane zomlilo ezenziwe ngumuntu wokuqala.

Iziqhumane zafika eYurophu ngekhulu le-13 futhi ngekhulu le-15.^thIkhulu leminyaka lalisetshenziswa kabanzi emikhosini yenkolo kanye nokuzijabulisa komphakathi. AmaNtaliyane ayengabantu bokuqala baseYurophu ukwenza iziqhumane kanti ababusi baseYurophu babekuthanda kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kweziqhumane ukuze “bakhangise izikhonzi zabo futhi bakhanyise izinqaba zabo ngezikhathi ezibalulekile.”

Abahlali bokuqala base-US baletha uthando lwabo lweziqhumane eZweni Elisha futhi iziqhumane zaziyingxenye yoSuku Lokuzimela lokuqala - isiko eliqhubeka njalo ngomhlaka-4 kuJulayi lapho sigubha njengoba uJohn Adams ayenethemba "ngokubukisa, umbukiso .... imililo emikhulu kanye nokukhanya kusuka komunye umkhawulo waleli zwekazi kuya komunye." Umoya wokugubha waseMelika waqhubeka nokukhula futhi ngasekupheleni kweminyaka eyi-18.^thngekhulu leminyaka, osopolitiki basebenzisa imibukiso ukuze badonsele izixuku ezinkulumweni zabo.

Ngesikhathi uJulayi 4^thKusese “usuku olukhulu”, abaseMelika bayaqhubeka nokusebenzisa iziqhumane unyaka wonke ukugubha emikhosini, imicimbi ekhethekile, kanye namasiko ezemidlalo afana nama-Olympic kanye ne-Super Bowl.

Ukuzijabulisa kwe-fireworks kukhiqiza imali kanye nokumamatheka.Ukuduma KweLouisvilleingenye yemibukiso emikhulu kakhulu yeziqhumane ezweni futhi ucwaningo lwezomnotho olwenziwe yiDerby Festival luthole ukuthi iThunder ikhiqiza imali engaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-56 zamaRandi emnothweni wendawo.

Kodwa ngaphezu kwanoma yini enye, uma ucabanga ngeziqhumane, ucabanga ngoMhla Wesine kaJulayi kanye nokugubha ukuzimela kwezwe lethu. Iziqhumane bezilokhu zinabantu baseMelika kusukela ekuqaleni kwesizwe sethu futhi yingakho i-APA izoqhubeka nomsebenzi wayo ukuzeGcina Futhi Ukhuthaze Isiko LaseMelika!
