The names of the martyrs are inscribed on the stone tablet.
Tips
usage
铭刻 has both literal (carve into stone/metal) and figurative (etch into memory) uses. The figurative sense is more common in modern speech, often paired with 在心中 or 在脑海里.
memory
铭 (inscription) + 刻 (carve) — a compound where both characters reinforce the same idea: to carve a name or message that lasts. Think of 座右铭 (motto), the inscription you keep beside your seat.
