in the Taipei Times: Old CKS plaque to be reinstated at Memorial Hall
talking about changing the name of the Democracy Memorial Hall back to CKS Memorial Hall, it says:
the Ministry of Education said yesterday it would hold three public forums next month to discuss whether to reinstate the four-character inscription, dazhong zhizheng (大中至正), which means “great neutrality and perfect uprightness.”
but fails to mention that this is also a reference to CKS, whose most widely used name in Taiwan was not Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) but Chiang Chung-cheng (蔣中正). THAT'S why the DPP and other's changed the plaque.
