尺寸:60×39.6

黃則修（1930-2014），兼具教育家、新聞記者暨攝影家等多重身分，更為業界譽稱為「臺灣攝影獨行俠」。1951年兼任日本《朝日新聞》、聯合電視駐臺攝影記者；1961年舉行「龍山寺」攝影個展、1962年與吳東興舉辦「被遺忘的樂園—野柳」雙人攝影展，被譽為「臺灣攝影史『專題攝影展』之濫觴」。以上二展，其後更引起政府對歷史文化古蹟重視，促使野柳被設定為國家觀光景點。
1967年，擔任徵信新聞報（現中國時報）顧問，為臺灣創設第一座新聞彩印工廠，隔年以世界第一部美國高斯平板彩色輪轉機，印製臺灣首份彩色報紙，受到國際矚目，獲登於1980年的《世界名人錄》；1985年應聘實踐大學兼任教師，桃李滿天下。從現代角度回溯黃則修攝影作品，更能肯定其人文視野，化歷史文化為內才，以攝影紀錄留下當時代的環境，終生以藝術為職志。
此照片呈現大中至正牌樓匾額題字的歷史曾經，2007年12月8日已被更換為「自由廣場」，於此歷史錨點，攝影作品的價值自然展現，紀錄了消逝過往。該牌坊的規格與古代皇陵前「神路」建築的牌樓相同，係「五門六柱十一間」，為中國傳統建築最高等級，氣勢磅礡；黃則修以洞視的穿透力，引領觀者直直望盡紀念堂核心，跨越車陣，見著大中至正，穿透牌樓，筆直的將視線射進莊嚴禮堂。(500字)

Huang Tse-Hsiu (1930-2014) was an educator, journalist, and photographer, widely recognized in the industry as the “Lone Ranger of Taiwanese Photography.” Born in Taipei, he wrote under the pen name Lao K and also referred to himself as Tzu-Yun Seventh Lord and Tzu-Yun Hermit, as he was the seventh-generation descendant of the Tzu-Yun Huang family in Taiwan, tracing his lineage back to Huang Shou-Kung of Quanzhou. In 1951, he concurrently served as a photojournalist in Taiwan for Japan’s Asahi Shimbun and United Television. In 1961, he held a solo photography exhibition titled Lungshan Temple, followed by a joint exhibition in 1962 with Wu Tung-Hsing, The Forgotten Paradise—Yehliu. These exhibitions were hailed as the pioneering thematic photography exhibition in Taiwanese photographic history. These two exhibitions subsequently heightened government awareness of historical and cultural heritage, leading to Yehliu’s designation as a national tourist site.

In 1967, Huang served as an advisor for Cheng-Hsin News (now China Times), where he established Taiwan’s first news color printing factory. The following year, he introduced the world’s first Goss flatbed color rotary press from the United States to print Taiwan’s first color newspaper, garnering international attention. In 1980, he was listed in “Who’s Who” in the World, followed by “Who’s Who in America” in 1981. In 1985, he became a lecturer at Shih Chien University, where he guided students in the regular maintenance of the school’s slate-roofed structures. He retired from Shih Chien University in 2012 and passed away in Linkou in 2014.

This photograph captures the historical presence of the “Da Zhong Zhi Zheng” inscription on the archway plaque, which was replaced with “Liberty Square” on December 8, 2007. At this historical juncture, the significance of the photographic work naturally emerges, documenting a vanished past. The structure of this archway follows the same specifications as the “Shenlu” (Spirit Road) archways found in front of ancient imperial mausoleums. Built in the traditional five-gate, six-pillar, eleven-section format—the highest tier of Chinese architectural design—it exudes an imposing grandeur. With penetrating vision, Huang Tse-Hsiu leads the viewer’s gaze straight into the heart of the memorial hall. His composition transcends the flow of traffic, framing the “Da Zhong Zhi Zheng” inscription and guiding the eye through the archway, directing an unbroken line of sight into the solemn auditorium.
