September in Australia is the season when spring comes to the southern hemisphere. In many commemorative activities, the spiritual totems carried by the national flag and the national emblem are like a “business card” engraved with the soul of the country, conveying eternal power in a small space. On the national flag with a blue background and white stars, the Southern Cross shines forever, symbolizing the geographical coordinates and spiritual direction of this land. The federal seven-pointed star tells the belief of the states in unity and coexistence. The kangaroos and emus striding proudly on the national emblem are the portrayal of the national character of “never retreating” – just like the wisdom of the aborigines who have coexisted with nature for tens of thousands of years, and the courage of the pioneers to open up in the red desert. When these symbols are condensed into a business card box, they become the spiritual guide for every striver. What is treasured in the box is not only the identity mark, but also the commitment to “advance is the truth”. When the lid of the box opens and closes, the kangaroo’s vigorous posture reminds us: we should be as tough as the red soil in difficult situations; the emu’s firm eyes warn us: the goal should be as clear as the Southern Cross. The symbols of the states in the shield always emphasize the modern civilized principle of win-win cooperation. In this spring season, every Australian can become a walking “national business card”. Whether it is a solemn exchange in business occasions or carried with us in daily life, the stars and totems in this small space are silently telling us: real power comes from a deep understanding of the land under our feet and an eternal adherence to common values. When we use the spirit of the national emblem as a mirror, we can walk out our own path of progress in the tide of the times.

澳洲的九月，是南半球春意萌動的季節。在諸多紀念活動中，國旗與國徽承載的精神圖騰，恰如一枚錒刻國家靈魂的”名片”，在方寸之間傳遞著永恆的力量。藍底白星的國旗上，南十字星恆久閃耀，象徵這片土地的地理座標與精神方向。聯邦七芒星則訴說著各州團結共生的信念。而國徽上昂首闊步的袋鼠與鴯鶓，正是”永不後退”的民族品格寫照——正如原住民數萬年來與自然共生的智慧，正如拓荒者們在紅土荒漠中開拓的勇氣。當這些象徵濃縮於一方名片盒，便成為每位奮鬥者的精神指南。盒中珍藏的不僅是身分標識，更是對”前進即真理”的承諾。盒蓋開合間，袋鼠矯健的身姿提醒我們：困境中當如紅土般堅韌；鴯鶓堅定的目光告誡我們：目標當如南十字星般清晰。盾形紋章裡的各州符號，則時時強調合作共贏的現代文明準則。在這個春意盎然的季節，每個澳洲人都可以成為行走的”國家名片”。無論商務場合的鄭重交換，或是日常生活的隨身攜帶，這方寸之間的星辰與圖騰，都在默默訴說：真正的力量，源自於對腳下土地的深刻理解，以及對共同價值的永恆堅守。當我們以國徽精神為鏡，便能在時代浪潮中，走出屬於自己的奮進軌跡。
