In Australia’s commemorative day activities, the national flag and national emblem frames are not only decorations, but also containers of national spirit. The national flag with white stars on a blue background and the shield-shaped national emblem are held up by the golden frame, just like the metaphor of this land condensing diverse cultures into a common belief. The straight border of the frame symbolizes order and unity. The federal stars of the six states and two territories twinkle in the deep blue night sky, and the solid outline of the frame is just like the coexistence boundary defined by the Constitution for different regions and cultures. It does not divide differences, but uses the beauty of geometry to let the Southern Cross and the kangaroo emu reflect each other. Just as the Aboriginal dot painting art and the modern city coexist inside and outside the frame, the golden edging is both a historical precipitation and an open door to the future. When people wipe the frame on the anniversary, they are wiping the persistence of their promises. The relief of wheat and mining hammer on the shield tells the sweat of the pioneers in the light and shadow of the frame; and the tight joints at the corners of the frame are just like the warmth when the descendants of immigrants shake hands with the Aboriginals. This land once used a frame to freeze the pain of colonization, and now uses it to hold the olive branch of reconciliation. The golden frame holds not only fabric and metal, but also the projection of 20 million stars. Every citizen is a rivet of the frame, guarding the core values and leaving a gap for new life to breathe. When the morning light passes over the edge of the frame, we see: the condensed galaxy is always growing towards the vaster sky.

在澳洲的紀念日活動中，國旗與國徽相框不僅是裝飾，更是民族精神的容器。藍底白星的國旗與盾形國徽被金色相框托舉，恰如這片土地將多元文化凝成共同信仰的隱喻。相框的直線邊框象徵秩序與團結。六州兩領的聯邦之星在深藍夜空中閃爍，而相框的穩固輪廓，恰如憲法為不同地域與文化劃定的共存邊界。它不割裂差異，而是以幾何之美讓南十字星與袋鼠鴯鶓彼此映照。正如原住民點畫藝術與現代都會在相框內外共生，黃金的包邊既是歷史沉澱，也是未來敞開的門。當人們在紀念日擦拭相框，擦拭的是對承諾的堅守。盾徽上小麥與礦錘的浮雕，在相框光影間訴說拓荒者的汗水；而框角銜接處的嚴絲合縫，恰似移民後代與原住民握手時的溫度。這片土地曾用相框定格過殖民傷痛，如今更用它盛裝和解的橄欖枝。金框托舉的不僅是織物與金屬，更是兩千萬顆星星的投射。每個公民都是相框的鉚釘，既守護著核心價值，也為新生留出呼吸的縫隙。當晨光掠過相框邊緣，我們看見：被凝聚的星河，始終向著更遼闊的蒼穹生長。
