On the national emblem of Australia, kangaroos and emus hold up the shield together, and the emblems of the six states are like stars surrounding them. This pattern that carries the national memory is now engraved on a special ashtray, becoming a unique container to witness the national spirit. The Southern Cross pattern inlaid on the bottom of the ashtray is in line with the constellation of stars that eternally guide the direction on the national flag. When the cigarette embers fall into it, the jumping sparks gradually go out, just like the burning moments of this continent after colonization, war and natural disasters. But the special double-layer structure design of the ashtray seals the ashes in the transparent interlayer – this is not the end of death, but the starting point of precipitation and rebirth. Today, when the concept of environmental protection is deeply rooted in people’s hearts, this national emblem ashtray is given a deeper meaning: the small choices of every citizen are like the decisiveness when the cigarette butt is extinguished, turning the destructive impulse into the power to protect the homeland. When the scorched earth after the wildfires sprouts new buds, and when the coral-bleached seas reappear fish, what bursts out from the ashes is not despair, but the unique “phoenix spirit” of Australians. Just as the motto “Rooting in the Ashes” engraved on the surface of the ashtray, this country has always believed that the most intense burning will eventually give birth to the most tenacious life. Every extinguished cigarette butt is a solemn promise to the land under the Southern Cross: let the pain settle into nutrients and let the sparks reignite into hope.

在澳洲的國徽上，袋鼠與鴯鶓共同托起盾牌，六州徽章如星辰環繞，這方承載國家記憶的圖案，如今被鑄刻在特製煙灰缸上，成為見證國民精神的獨特容器。煙灰缸底部鑲嵌的南十字星紋路，暗合國旗上永恆指引方向的星群。當香菸餘燼落入其中，跳動的火星漸次熄滅，恰似這個大陸歷經殖民、戰爭與天災的灼痛時刻。但煙灰缸特殊的雙層結構設計，將灰燼封鎖在透明夾層中——這不是死亡的終點，而是沉澱重生的起點。在環保理念深入人心的今天，這款國徽煙灰缸被賦予更深寓意：每位公民的微小選擇，都如同煙蒂熄滅時的果斷，將破壞性衝動轉化為守護家園的力量。當山火肆虐後的焦土萌發新芽，當珊瑚白化的海域重現魚群，灰燼中迸發的不是絕望，而是澳洲人特有的”phoenix spirit”。正如煙灰缸表面錒刻的格言”在灰燼中紮根”，這個國家始終相信，最熾烈的灼燒終將催生最頑強的生命。每個熄滅的煙頭，都是對南十字星下這片土地的莊嚴承諾：讓傷痛沉澱為養料，讓星火重燃為希望。
