Tahiti, translated as Tahiti in Hong Kong and Taiwan, is the largest island in the windward islands of French Polynesia, located in the South Pacific. ∽↗∽↗, it is as warm as spring all year round and has abundant resources. Residents call themselves "God's man", while foreigners think it is "the place closest to heaven."

About one to three million years ago, lava after the undersea volcano formed today's Polynesian Islands. However, human footprints did not occur until quite late. New Zealand and Polynesian Islands are the latest lands where humans live.

Polynesia means "many islands", ranging from Tonga, Cook Islands, Polynesian Islands to the southeast Pitcairn Islands. People in these places share a common language and common ancestors, such as the native Hawaiians and the Maori in New Zealand, all of which can trace the Pacific immigrants thousands of years ago.

Around 1520 AD, the Pacific Islands became the adventure target of Europeans. The Portuguese and Spanish successively carried out overseas colonial exploration under the sponsorship of the royal family. In the early 17th century, the Dutch also joined the ranks of the Pacific Islands exploration.

In 1767, British Captain Samuel Wallis was the first European to discover Tahiti; the French explorer Louisantoine de Pougai, who was on his first voyage around the world, also set foot on Tahiti in April 1768. When he returned to Europe, he described the island as a paradise on earth where "noble barbarians" and "Venus-like women", thus making Tahiti a strange place famous in Europe, and these fabulous myths later attracted scholars and artists such as Hermanmelville, Stevenson and Paul Gauguin.

The earliest Europeans who settled for a long time were members of the new church in London, who assisted the local Pare family in controlling the entire island. Pomare II (1803-1824) converted to Christianity, defeated other chiefs of Tahiti, and established a "church kingdom" with written laws. During the reign of Pomare III (1824-1827) and Queen Pomare IV, the Tahitians fought with the church to fight disease, **** and alcoholism, and the influence of European merchants and homeless people. The authority of the church was challenged...

The island is now part of the Windward Islands within the Overseas Dominance of French Polynesia. In 1758, Tahiti became the overseas territory of France. King George III. In 1768, Bougainville came to the island and declared that the island belonged to France. In 1769, British navigator Cook and the captain of the British scientific expedition ship "Hms Pounty" (also translated as "Bonty") in 1788, both visited the island.

Tahiti is the largest of the 118 islands in the Polynesian Islands in the South Pacific, with a total area of ​​about 1,000 square kilometers. Since the French Polynesian Islands are the largest and are the political and economic center of French Polynesia, many people are accustomed to calling the entire French Polynesia by Tahiti.

The island has a population of more than 178,000. The administrative center Papeete is a bird's eye view of the tail like a tail. The fish head is called "tahitinui" and the tail is called "tahitiiti". Because of its beautiful tropical scenery and surrounding colorful sea water, it is called "the place closest to heaven". 77% of the population is Polynesian. Secondly, there are mixed races between legal persons and Poles, and about 10% of the Chinese.

It has a tropical rainforest climate. The temperature is 13-33c. The annual average precipitation is 2,000 mm. The rainy season is from November to March. The dry season is from May to October every year, and the wet season is from November to April the following year. If you like the sunshine every day, it is best to choose the dry season.

It is a volcanic island with an "8" shape, composed of two volcanic highlands. In addition to the fertile plains along the coast, Tahiti Island is mountainous and rugged, orohena, orohena, and 1,3 meters above sea level, and Tahiti's Roniu, 1,3 meters above sea level. Tahiti Island has many turbulent streams, the largest is the Papenoo River, which pours into the sea on the northern slope of the island. The total length of the island is 53 kilometers, and there are coral reefs and lagoons along the coast.

Tahiti is located in the southeast trade wind belt, with humid south (annual rainfall above 2,500 mm) and drier north (annual rainfall about 1,800 mm). Most of the rainfall falls from December to March of the following year. The temperature ranges from 24c from July to August to 29c from January to February.

This climate is suitable for growing coconuts (the product is dried coconut), sugar cane, vanilla and coffee. They all grow on the coastal plains and are shipped out of the Papeete on the northwest shore. Natural vegetation also includes tropical fruit trees such as pandanus, lantana, hibiscus and mango trees, bread trees, noni trees, avocado trees, pandanus trees, banana trees, papaya trees and other tropical fruit trees.

The Tahitians belong to a mixed type of Mongolian and Australian races, and are a branch of the Polynesians. They use the Tahitian and Nicean languages. They have Latin alphabetical characters. They originally believed in many gods and had complex sacrificial and prayer rituals. Most of them are converted to Catholicism. In the mid-18th century, a unified country appeared. Since 1842, they were under French colonial rule and their lifestyles were influenced by the West. Some people are mixed with the French. They belong to the Austronesian language family. People who have no worries about food and clothing often look at the distance of the sea and meditate in a distance, waiting for the sunset and dawn.

The indigenous people of Tahiti are said to be Polynesians who had lived on the island since 400 AD. The ancestors of the Polynesians migrated from other places. They did not develop in the local area from the evolution process from apes to humans, because no traces of the survival or activity of ancient humans were found on these islands. At the same time, from a geographical point of view, the area of ​​these islands is too small, and there is insufficient room for activity for human ancestors who have taken a long time to evolve.

The origin of the Polynesian ancestors is one that comes from the West and the other that comes from the East. After researching DNA, scientists found that the mysterious home of the Polynesians, Hawaki, may have been Taiwan. Instead of the South America that Norwegian explorer Sol Heldal once announced.

The public library of Science - Biology Album published on July 4, 2005 published a new DNA study. Scientists from the Taiwan Infusion Medicine Laboratory and Estonian Biology Center said in a report that they found that the genetic genes of native Taiwanese residents were surprisingly similar to those of Polynesians. This provides evidence that the ancestors of Polynesians came from the East.

Tahitian pearls, which are usually known to the world, are produced in remote lagoons in the French Polynesian archipelago in the South Pacific. They are different from Japanese pearls and South Ocean beads and are extremely precious. Because the pearls themselves are farmed from a rare black pancake (a rare shellfish that only grows in natural and non-polluting Polynesian waters). The grays of varying degrees have different colors, making the pearls even more unique. In addition, their requirements for the breeding environment and bead collection process are very rigorous, and every 100 black pancakes that have been harvested are only five.

Ten pearls were successfully cultivated, and only five of them were flawless, so each pearl was extremely precious.

The legendary mother-of-pearl teui was brought to mankind by the god of peace and yield that came to the world by the rainbow. Another theory believes that the mother-of-pearl teui offered mother-of-pearl to the beautiful Princess Bora to express her eternal love. The academic name of Teui is pintadamara, which is commonly known as black saucer. In the 19th century, like other mother-of-pearls, the shells of black saucer were largely demanded by European button manufacturing. As a result, the annual commercial Baker collection operated by local and foreign entities was carried out in the tua and gamma lagoons, and two-fifths of the archipelago formed French Polynesia.

In the era of profit from picking shells, people had to open more than 15,000 fritillaria to find a natural pearl. Therefore, before the pearls were artificially bred, the Tahitian black pearl became famous because of their preciousness and rareness. The jewelry of the nobles of the world's palaces competed to use Tahitian black pearls to make it more famous. Soon, the Tahitian black pearls were hailed as "the queen's pearl and the queen of the pearl."
