Abstract:Cemetery is a semiotic landscape with tombstones as its core, pulling abundant multimodal resources to communicate with its visitors both tangibly and intangibly. In celebrity cemeteries, officiality of the designers and accessibility for visitors are both comparatively higher than those of common cemeteries, where the value communication via multimodal resources play a more vital role in the transmission of common values in society. Based on the multimodal analysis framework proposed by Ledin and Machin, this study has systematically analyzed the multimodal resources of 33 tombstones for celebrities in the Mausoleum of Soong Ching Ling, Honorary Chairman of the People"s Republic of China, a representative celebrity cemetery in the Chinese world. It is found that the rich multimodal resources unite practical and symbolic meanings, traditional and modern cultures, as well as individual and communal values, simultaneously implying their durability and universality. Through the integrated design of multimodal resources, visitors are led to naturally understand and adopt these mainstream values, which helps to build and spread the common values of society.
