Solar eruptions have been understood as the result of magnetic reconnection in solar corona, therefore most models of flares and coronal mass ejections assume that photospheric magnetic fields are anchored and do not have rapid, irreversible changes associated with the eruptions. Recently, we note the work by Hudson, Fisher and Welsch (2008, ASP, 383, 221), who quantitatively assessed the back reaction on the photosphere and solar interior by the coronal field evolution required to release flare energy, and made the prediction that after flares, the photospheric magnetic fields turn to a more horizontal state. Here we summarize our studies of several papers and a few new events that describe changes of magnetic fields associated with flares. For the events that vector magnetograms are available, we indeed find a rapid increase of transverse magnetic fields near the polarity inversion line associated with large flares. For the other events that only line-of-sight magnetograms are present, we always observe that limb-ward flux increases while disk-ward flux decreases rapidly and irreversibly associated with flares, which also indirectly supports the theory of Hudson, Fisher and Welsch. Finally, we discuss the possible relationship between the rapid changes of photospheric magnetic fields and the excitation of seismic waves, the so-called sunquakes (Kosovichev and Zharkova, 1998, Nature, 393, 317).
