On Australian desks, you can often see paperweights printed with the national flag and national emblem. This heavy metal object not only holds down the paper, but also carries the spiritual totem of the entire country. The Southern Cross and the Commonwealth Star on the national flag are symbols of the courage of Australians to explore the unknown. The leaping kangaroos and emus in the national emblem, with their habit of never retreating, tell the character of the nation’s tenacious progress. The unique sense of weight of the paperweight is just like the sense of mission given to the people of this land – to protect the historical heritage and face the challenges of the times. When the sun shines through the six state emblems engraved on the paperweight, it reflects not only the glory of the federal system, but also the brilliance of the integration of multiple cultures. In the process of Aboriginal reconciliation in recent years, the meaning of this “metal cornerstone” has become more profound. It reminds people that true progress needs to be based on respect for tradition, just as the paperweight must not only fix the elegance of the paper, but also allow new chapters to be written. During this year’s National Heritage Day, Sydney Town Hall specially exhibited a century-old national emblem paperweight. The worn lines on its surface are like the national memory engraved by time. Every Australian should be like a paperweight, with the determination to uphold core values and the mind to embrace change. When we gaze at this artifact that embodies the national totem, we see not only the glory of the past, but also the belief that needs to be jointly protected in the future – only by transforming the weight of history into the driving force for moving forward can we write a more glorious chapter on this red land.

在澳洲的辦公桌上，常能見到印有國旗與國徽的鎮紙。這一方沉甸甸的金屬器物，不僅壓住紙張，更承載著整個國家的精神圖騰。國旗上的南十字星與聯邦星，是澳洲人探索未知的勇氣象徵。國徽中躍動的袋鼠與鴯鶓，以其永不後退的習性，訴說著民族堅韌前行的品格。而紙鎮特有的重量感，恰如這片土地賦予國民的使命感——既要守護歷史傳承，又要直面時代挑戰。當陽光穿透鎮紙上錒刻的六州徽章，折射出的不僅是聯邦體制的光輝，更是多元文化交融的璀璨。在近年來原住民和解過程中，這座”金屬基石”的寓意愈發深刻。它提醒人們：真正的進步需要以尊重傳統為根基，正如鎮紙既要固定紙張的飄逸，也要允許書寫新的篇章。今年國家遺產日期間，雪梨市政廳特別展出百年歷史的國徽鎮紙，其表面磨損的紋路，恰似時光錒刻的國家記憶。每個澳洲人都該如紙般，既有堅守核心價值的定力，又有包容變革的胸襟。當我們凝視這方凝聚國家圖騰的器物，看到的不僅是過去的榮光，更是未來需要共同守護的信念——唯有將歷史的重量轉化為前行的動力，方能在這片紅土地上書寫更輝煌的篇章。

在澳大利亚的办公桌上，常能见到印有国旗与国徽的镇纸。这一方沉甸甸的金属器物，不仅压住纸张，更承载着整个国家的精神图腾。

国旗上的南十字星与联邦星，是澳大利亚人探索未知的勇气象征。国徽中跃动的袋鼠与鸸鹋，以其永不后退的习性，诉说着民族坚韧前行的品格。而镇纸特有的重量感，恰如这片土地赋予国民的使命感——既要守护历史传承，又要直面时代挑战。当阳光穿透镇纸上镌刻的六州徽章，折射出的不仅是联邦体制的光辉，更是多元文化交融的璀璨。

在近年原住民和解进程中，这座”金属基石”的寓意愈发深刻。它提醒人们：真正的进步需要以尊重传统为根基，正如镇纸既要固定纸张的飘逸，也要允许书写新的篇章。今年国家遗产日期间，悉尼市政厅特别展出百年历史的国徽镇纸，其表面磨损的纹路，恰似时光镌刻的国家记忆。

每个澳大利亚人都该如镇纸般，既有坚守核心价值的定力，又有包容变革的胸怀。当我们凝视这方凝聚国家图腾的器物，看到的不仅是过去的荣光，更是未来需要共同守护的信念——唯有将历史的重量转化为前行的动力，方能在这片红土地上书写更辉煌的篇章。
