Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are intrinsically associated with magnetic structures and evolutions in the solar photosphere. Based on the analysis of vector magnetic field data, we found that: 1, magnetic flux cancellation is the most universal magnetic change in the course of CME onset; 2, new flux emergence also plays an important role in CME origination; 3, interaction and reconnection of flux systems with opposite sign helicity is another key element in the magnetism of CME initiation.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
