The study is an Art Historical research situated within the qualitative research paradigm. It had a population of a defmed class of cultural policy makers, art historians, traditional rulers, nationalists, visual artists and Ghanaians resident both in and outside Ghana. The study examined how the creation of Ghana＇s Presidential Seats and the State Sword were influenced by Kwame Nkrumah＇s cultural policies and the cultural significance of the aesthetic interplay of ethnic insignias used in capturing the Ghanaian concept of Political authority. The study revealed that, Nkrumah recognised the cultural art forms and elements of ethnic Ghana as assets for national development. In line with his policy of building the Nation State of Ghana, he used ethnic cultural art forms and elements. At independence, Nkrumah commissioned some visual artist to create some artistic pieces （politico-cultural artefacts） for the Ghanaian political authority with inspiration or based on what pertains in the traditional authority （Chieftaincy） of Ghana. Politico-cultural artefacts as used in this study refer to the artefacts produced based on the cultural concepts of the ethnic states for the use of the political authority of the Republic of Ghana. Among these artistic pieces are the three Presidential Seats, The State Sword, The President＇s Personal Standard Pole and the State Mace.展开更多

Zhou Zhiruo is a round character seldom seen in Chinese novel. Through studying on image features and reasons of her image features, Jin yong’s martial arts novels’ charm has been greatly displayed. It is hoped that this thesis can provide some useful information for researchers or persons who take interest in Jin yong展开更多

It was first used at the end of the Shang Dynasty (21st Century B.C.-16th Century B.C.) and became popular during the Spring and Autumn period (770 B.C.-476 B.C.) and the Warring States period (475 B.C.-221 B.C. ). The best examples of this sword at that time were made in the Wu State and the Yue State. The sword was used by Gou Jian, King of the Yue State during the Warring States period. It was discovered in 1965, and is considered the best example of its kind. Shown here is a展开更多
