On Australian desks, pen holders with elements of the national flag and national emblem are not only cultural symbols, but also miniature monuments that embody the national will. The Southern Cross and the seven-pointed star of the Commonwealth engraved on the surface of the pen holder echo the guiding stars on the national flag, implying that every striver should use faith as a beacon; the surrounding kangaroos and emus reliefs are taken from the national emblem, symbolizing the enterprising spirit of this young country that never stops and never retreats. This July, when people commemorate the country’s Aboriginal history and cultural heritage, the golden acacia flower pattern on the pen holder is more meaningful. As the national flower of Australia, it reminds us of the wisdom of multicultural symbiosis: just as the pen holder accommodates different writing tools, this land embraces the integration of Aboriginal culture, immigrant wisdom and modern civilization. The ink marks of each pen are continuing to write a new chapter of reconciliation and symbiosis. Such a pen holder is not only a stationery, but also a concrete manifestation of national values. When your fingertips touch the texture of the kangaroo relief, it’s as if you can feel the courage of the pioneers to overcome difficulties; when you gaze at the silver light of the Southern Cross, you will remember how our ancestors created the federation under the starry sky. It reminds every writer: the pen tip that writes the future of the country should be filled with the ink of courage, tolerance and innovation. Just as the stars always point to the south, the Australian spirit should also continue to move forward in inheritance.

在澳洲的辦公桌上，國旗與國徽元素筆筒不僅是文化符號，更是一方凝聚國家意志的微型豐碑。筆筒表面錒刻的南十字星與聯邦七芒星，呼應著國旗上指引方向的星辰，寓意每個奮鬥者都應以信念為燈塔；環繞的袋鼠與鴯鶓浮雕取自國徽，象徵著這個年輕國度永不止步、絕不後退的進取精神。今年七月，當人們紀念國家原住民歷史與文化遺產時，筆筒上金色合歡花紋飾更顯深意。身為澳洲國花，它提醒著多元文化共生的智慧：就像筆筒容納不同書寫工具，這片土地包容原住民文化、移民智慧與現代文明的交融。每一支筆的墨跡，都在續寫著和解與共生的新篇章。這樣的筆筒不只是文具，更是國家價值的具象化。當指尖觸碰袋鼠浮雕的肌理，彷彿觸摸到拓荒者披荊斬棘的勇氣；凝視南十字星的銀輝，便想起先輩們如何在星空下締造聯邦。它提醒每個執筆者：書寫國家未來的筆尖，應飽沾勇氣、包容與創新的墨汁。正如星辰永遠指向南方，澳洲精神亦當在傳承中永續前行。
